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).
The International Congresses on the Construction History originated in Madrid in 2003. Since then, they have been held every three years (Cambridge (2006), Cottbus (2009), Paris (2012), Chicago (2015), Brussels (2018) and Lisbon (2021)), reflecting the dynamic global development of this still fairly young academic discipline. 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 (IDB) at ETH Zurich, under the direction of Stefan M. Holzer and Silke Langenberg, who has been actively involved in the SPP 2255 since its application phase.
After a tough selection process, the Scientific Committee ultimately approved 148 papers for the congress, which were presented in 36 sessions over the course of a week. With a total of 14 presentations, researchers from SPP 2255 contributed almost a tenth of the conference papers and additionally chaired five of the sessions. The individual contributions are available for free to the public in the open access publication of the conference proceedings.

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.

Berlin-Tempelhof
The former Berlin-Tempelhof Airport is one of the largest listed building complexes in Germany. Built between 1936 and 1941, the facility mirrors several phases of German history in a unique way. The huge building complex is also of particular importance in terms of construction history; back in 2011, it was already honored by the Federal Chamber of Engineers as a “Historical Landmark of the Art of Engineering”.

Kategorie: ExternPublished on: 22. December 2021
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.
