Kirchheim am Neckar: community hall renovation with ecological paving!

The community of Kirchheim am Neckar has launched a major project with the renovation and expansion of its community hall from the 1960s. After an investment volume of around 15 million euros, the new hall, which has the motto “One hall for all”, will open in September 2024. The aim of this comprehensive general renovation is not only to modernize the existing hall, but also to create a new, multifunctional building complex that will meet numerous needs of the citizens.

This expansion includes a children's house, a teaching swimming pool and an event and sports hall. Particular attention was paid to sustainable modernization and energy efficiency. As part of the work, a new building will be constructed within just under three years, which will have state-of-the-art facilities, including stainless steel cladding in the swimming pool and new changing rooms.

Sustainability in focus

A central aspect of the construction work is the use of water-permeable paving from the region. Paving from the manufacturer Adolf Blatt is used for the outdoor areas. This innovative material has an impressive water permeability of at least 540 liters per second per hectare, which is particularly important for the design of the approximately 1,500 m² outdoor areas. The use of Stuttgart Sickerstein broadens the possibilities for sustainable water management and promotes the minimization of wild herb growth through a special joint width of 3-5 mm.

In the spirit of contemporary, sustainable construction, the color design of the paving is also taken into account: It should be laid in an anthracite-rust red iridescent and simple gray in order to blend harmoniously into the surroundings. The sustainable orientation of this construction method is reflected in the latest standards, which aim to minimize environmental impact and improve the quality of life of residents. This approach is part of a growing awareness of ecological building materials and practices in the construction industry, which aim to reduce both energy consumption and resource waste to a minimum, such as Bestetipps.de explained.

A place of meeting

The new community hall will not only support the sporting activities of Kirchheim's over 6,000 residents, but will also serve as a meeting place for cultural events. Through the combination of modern, energy-efficient spaces and a focus on sustainable construction practices, the hall becomes an example of responsible and communal building that can serve as a model for other communities. The opening ceremony in September 2024 will be another milestone in the history of the community with a welcoming speech by Minister Nicole Razavi.

Overall, the project in Kirchheim am Neckar symbolizes a step into the future of construction, in which ecological awareness and the social needs of citizens are harmoniously combined.
