On Friday, 16.05.25, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated at the Stadtteilhaus in Stammheim. The people of Stammheim came to the first inspection of the new meeting place in the center of the district. The new citizens' café will soon open on the ground floor as a meeting place for young and old. The first floor offers group rooms for clubs. A citizens' hall is being built in the wooden roof truss of the building, which will seat over 150 people. The Zimmermanns celebrated the erection of this roof on Friday, traditionally with a ceremonial speech, topping-out ceremony and glass throwing.

The construction site of the State Office for Schools in Gunzenhausen is in process. The exposed concrete walls and the wooden pillars on the ground floor have already been installed and the room dimension are now visible. Currently they are working on the ceiling above the first floor. Work has started on the concrete beams along the corridors and inner courtyards. With the help of prestressed concrete ceilings, the meeting rooms next to the courtyard can be constructed without columns. Once the reinforced concrete beams have been constructed, the timber beams are mounted and the ceiling elements are laid on top. To create the bond between the timber and concrete, timber connectors are screwed into the timber beams from above and cast with the in-situ concrete. The upper floors are constructed in the same style.
We are looking forward to the moment, we can see the whole volume of the building.

The new Holzbau Atlas Berlin-Brandenburg is being expanded to include national projects and will be published on April 7, 2025 with projects from all over Germany. Our multi-purpose hall in Markelfingen on Lake Constance is also included. We are delighted to be part of the Holzbau Atlas. You can take a look at the Holzbau Atlas DE here. Have fun clicking through!

Our institute building for the HTWG Konstanz is entering phase 5. We are planning the laboratory building in the second row on the Rhine with a new look, densely populated with photovoltaics in light green tone. Its neighbors already form the prelude to the university campus on the waterfront. With campus utilities in the pants - aka in the basement - and technology on the main floor, the construction site will start in October this year. However, it will still be a few years before the laboratory in wood and green is complete. Until then we are already enjoying the view of Lake Constance and the Alps.

The "Neues Museum" and the "Bund Deutscher Architektinnen und Architekten (BDA)" invites to a lecture with the title" Who builds Nuernberg? - how urban form creates".
With the OHM Technical University of Nuremberg project, which will be completed in 2025, Steimle Architekten are helping to shape the AEG site and thus a large part of university life in the city of Nuremberg.

On Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 7 p.m., Thomas Steimle will share his thoughts on the university and the formative influence on the cityscape.
Admission is from 18:30, registration is not required, the lecture is free of charge.
You can find more informations on the BDA website.

We are delighted to have won one of two 3rd prizes in the competition for the construction of a new church administration building in Wernau.

in co-operation with Koeber Landschaftsarchitekten, Engelsmann Peters, transsolar, VIZE and TSB Ingenieure

A new district house is being built in Stammheim. The building adjoins the old barn and will later mediate between tradition and modernity with its gable and photovoltaic cladding. To ensure the connection to the historic gable roof of the barn, the semi-finished parts were delivered today, which are adapted to the roof shape of the barn. These can then be used to start the shell construction for the upper floor. The shell construction in the basement and the ground floor is already done.

The visitor centre of the Bundesschule in Bernau, completed in 2022, was awarded the BDA Prize Brandenburg 2024!

The project impressed the jury:
‘The simplicity of the form, the directness of the materiality and, last but not least, the discreet construction that allows the heavy to float above the light.’

We are delighted with the award and the beautiful publication!
