Progress on the construction site in Markelfingen can be seen in leaps and bounds. The façade of the multi-purpose hall is in place and the interior work is also progressing well. The tiles have already been laid, the suspended ceilings are almost finished and next week the exposed screed and the impact wall builder are expected.
Let's knock on wood that the construction site continues to make good progress!

In Stammheim near Stuttgart, too, people are digging in the earth. Here, archaeological excavations are underway on the building site. So far, however, there is almost only earth to be seen.

For a long time it was quiet about our fire station in Überlingen on Lake Constance. But now the planning around the station has been picking up speed again for a few months. In the meantime, the earth is already being moved back and forth on the new site of the fire station. The construction of the base plate is scheduled to start in April.

The guiding idea of the design is the tension between a powerful new building and the historic town hall, which forms a new overall ensemble with a great identification effect in the heart of Steinheim an der Murr. The new building is based on the structure of the historic town hall. It takes up the theme of the massive plinth on which a contemporary wooden building is erected. The colour scheme with the grey plinth and the earthy red tones also strengthens the ensemble character.

On the 15th Februray the Stuttgarter Zeitung published an article with the titel "ten of the prettiest houses in the region of stuttgart". Our residental house E20 in Pliezhausen is one of them.

The design competition for the Schlossgarten Hotel between the park and the main railway station already took place at the end of 2022. Now LBBW has announced that they will be renovating the project with Steimle Architekten in the coming years. Particular attention is being paid to dealing with the existing buildings, which are to be preserved in their distinctive character and only renovated with a few interventions in a sustainable and future-oriented way.

A few of our colleagues didn't want to miss the company day at the Ege Trans Arena. On 20 January, we went on a different kind of excursion to the Steelers in Bietigheim. An exciting game against the Iserlohn Roosters with beer, sport and fun.

On 24 January, LBBW announced its plans for Königstraße in Stuttgart. Several of the buildings that form the prelude from the main railway station to the shopping street in Stutgart will be renovated in the coming years. Last autumn, the design competition for the renovation of the traditional Schlossgarten Hotel was already underway and Steimle Architekten came out on top. The façade will be renovated under sustainable aspects without changing the traditional appearance. The ground floor zone will be made more public and will invite people to linger in the future. The excitement about the new hotel is growing. So far, we can only look forward to the publication in the Stuttgater Nachrichten and the Stuttgarter Zeitung.
