LINDENHOFPLATZ

The new building forms the end of the square to the road and is supplemented by flanking noise barriers. The connecting structure is located to the south of the main railway station and connects the square to the main railway station via the existing subway. The two-storey building has a bicycle car park on the upper floor, commercial space on the ground floor and a basement. The building is accessed via an exposed concrete ramp, stairs and lifts.

In addition to the winding ramp, the ground floor is also characterised by the sloping exposed concrete columns. The ramp is partly cantilevered and partly designed as a cradle beam. The structure of the first floor is a steel frame construction with cantilevered corners on the east and west sides. Hidden behind the west façade is a steel truss girder, which allows for a column-free reinforced concrete ceiling area.

On the upper floor, precast reinforced concrete façade elements were attached to the steel frame on the street side, and a glass façade was installed on the Lindenhofplatz side. The glass appearance of the façade is continued by the flanking glass noise barriers.
