Project details

Bundeswehr Technical College Karlsruhe

In the fan-shaped city of Karlsruhe, known as the seat of the Federal Court of Justice, a modern and well-equipped Bundeswehr technical college has been built. With a construction volume of 15 million euros and a construction period of two years, a three-storey building was built on the site of the Kirchfeld barracks in Neureut, which creates optimal conditions for the training of regular soldiers. The aim of the technical college is to make the transition to civilian life easier for regular soldiers. A particular focus is on IT training, which is one of the school's core competencies. For the principal Martina Mayer-Ullman, this project was the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream.

The highest safety standards are applied throughout the school building. On the balconies used for relaxation, our X-TEND® stainless steel cable mesh provides comprehensive protection. The flexible, resilient mesh of the net stretches from floor to ceiling and from one side to the other, ensuring maximum fall protection. A total of 300 m² of X-TEND® mesh with a mesh width of 60 mm and a cable diameter of 2 mm was installed. The material is not only lightweight, but also extremely robust and can withstand the changeable weather conditions in Karlsruhe. Thanks to the delicate structure, the view of the surrounding green areas remains unobstructed, which has a calming effect on the soldiers during lessons.

On the day of the inauguration, military chaplain Matthias Orth not only consecrated the technical college itself, but also the X-TEND® mesh as a symbol of protection and stability. The technical college blends harmoniously into the surrounding natural landscape, and the X-TEND® mesh complements this architecture with its combination of transparency and security.
