CSZ as coordinator of expert services: Why the current analysis is now crucial

Kaiserslautern City Hall – an 84-meter-high skyscraper from the 1960s and an important work by architect Roland Ostertag – is a listed symbol of urban reconstruction and modern administration. Comprehensive renovation is essential to restore this building to its original splendor while meeting the requirements of a sustainable administration.

The first step toward renovation
CSZ has taken the crucial first step with its current inventory analysis: the systematic recording, evaluation, and documentation of the entire structural and technical substance. This step is much more than a mandatory task—it is the cornerstone for every further planning and renovation decision.

All areas examined – all potential identified
The analysis covers all key specialist disciplines:

• Building Services: Evaluation of outdated plant technology and derivation of sustainable modernization concepts.
• Fire protection: Examination of safety-relevant structures in a 26-story high-rise building in accordance with current requirements.
• Building physics & diagnostics: Examination of facades, concrete components, and energy-related weak points.
• Structural engineering: Derivation of potential for modern working environments and efficient administrative structures.

Early detection, sustainable planning
In a listed high-rise building in particular, it is crucial to take stock of the situation in order to identify opportunities, risks, and dependencies at an early stage. Only on the basis of reliable data can viable concepts for sustainability, energy efficiency, and long-term value retention be developed.

Conclusion
The project is currently in the planning phase. The project is currently in the planning phase. CSZ’s interdisciplinary inventory analysis provides the necessary planning security to responsibly design one of Kaiserslautern’s most iconic buildings for the future.
