Practice project Tempelhof Airport: THFx Monument Workshop 2024.1 ” High-modern constructions: repair and retrofitting”

Zurich
Just about a year ago, at the Sixth Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft für Bautechnikgeschichte in Berlin (11-13 May 2023), seven of the 17 presentations had been delivered by participants from the SPP 2255. This considerable presence in the German-speaking context of the history of construction was now followed by a no less remarkable international display at the 8th International Congress on Construction History in Zurich (8ICCH, 24 – 28.6.2024). This year’s conference with well over 200 participants from all over the world had been organized by the Institute for Preservation and Construction History at ETH Zurich.

Magdeburg
Im Forschungsschwerpunkt SPP 2255 „Kulturerbe Konstruktion“ der DFG befassen sich WissenschaftlerInnen der TU BA Freiberg und TU Braunschweig mit den Konstruktionen des VEB Metalleichtbau-kombinat (MLK). Ein Typenbauwerk des MLKs ist das Sporthalle KT60L.
Die Sporthalle der Freie Waldorfschule Magdeburg e.V. wurde Mitte 1970er Jahre erbaut und in den Jahren 2007 sowie 2010/11 saniert. Sie stellt wegen des innovativen Erhaltungsansatzes ein Vorbild für den allgemeinen und auch denkmalpflegerischen Umgang von Typenbauwerken der DDR dar.

Dessau-Roßlau
During the second annual meeting of the SPP 2255 in Dessau-Roßlau, the participants also visited on October 13, 2022 various historical constructions in the Dessau-Mitte industrial park in the course of a field trip prepared by Axel Schuhmann (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences). One of its preserved halls made a particular impression on the participants, yet there was hardly any information available about it – for example on the construction period or the planners responsible.

Subsequent research led to a surprising discovery: the building is a supposedly lost work by the architect and designer Peter Behrens (1868-1940), an exceptionally important figure for the development of modern architecture.

The Sternbrücke in Hamburg-Altona is not only a fascinating example of ultra-modern bridge construction from the 1920s. It is also one of the most prominent railroad bridges in Germany, the replacement or preservation of which has been the subject of intense debate on both sides for years.
