Conversion and extension of a customer center. The existing buildings in the Kurt- Schumacher-Straße were to be converted. They consist of multi-storey massive buildings from 1955, strengthened by reinforced concrete wall and ceiling slabs and reinforced concrete framework constructions.
In one building the 5th storey was demolished and replaced with a steel office block construction. Another building and the connection between the buildings were heightened by two storeys (4th and 5th storey). The structure of the additional storeys is a steel structure. For this, the demolition of the existing 3rd storey in the area of the connecting way was necessary and, in the second building, the demolition of the sloping roof.
