The Landtag of Brandenburg/City Palace Potsdam – Reconstruction of the façades
The new parliament building of the Brandenburg Landtag features the reconstructed façades of the City Palace in Potsdam. Newly produced natural stone elements were installed along with historic spolia.
After the contract for the reconstruction of the facades was awarded in 2010, our company was initially entrusted with producing about 50% of the natural stone elements (masonry and sculptural workpieces). This was partially due to our outstanding performance in the field of robot-assisted prefabrication, which enables us to complete and deliver our stonework on-time.
In 2012, the client awarded us the contract for the completion of the façades. The service package covered the entire spectrum – from the quarry to the planning, production and installation of the parts, including the anchoring. Mobile cranes and telescopic rotating cranes were used to install the workpieces. Our company took care of all of the logistical planning and execution along with the construction scheduling in close consultation with our client.
