The central bus station in the Westphalian city Werther now is much more comfortable and accessible. The bus station is built around a large central island and has stops for eight buses. Four steel and glass structures offer passengers a roof over their heads. The mobility concept also includes a bicycle box in which up to 26 bicycles can be parked safely. The building with bike box and public toilet is an eye-catcher as well. The facade is designed in bright colors, as used by the well-known expressionist painter and sculptor Peter August Böckstiegel, whose hometown is Werther.

Big Dutchman, Supplier of pig and poultry equipment and feeding systems, builds a new car park and a new staff-canteen at its base in Vechta. The self-service restaurant for employees spans the street between the administration building and the car park. Rohlfing Stahlbau Stemwede produced the steel construction and installed it.

 

Bridge connects city center and citadel park

New bridge at Vechta’s train station

 

A new pedestrian and cycle bridge now connects the city center and the citadel park in Vechta's west.

In addition, the residents of the adjacent, new townhouses will have access to the bridge. The 306-meter-long structure made of steel, concrete and technology was built by Rohlfing and Scheidt as a joint venture.

Eye-catcher of the Country Garden Show in Lahr 2018

 

The new bicycle and footpath bridge connects in an elegant arch the Mauerfeld Citizens‘Park and the Stegmatten Lake Park at the Country Garden Show Lahr/Schwarzwald 2018. The succinct bridge crosses the road B415 as well as the B3. With it, the bridge solves cleverly the special situation in the interface of both parks together with the federal roads in the Lahrer west. The total length of the bridge amounts to about 290 metres. The middle section with a free span of about 115 metres is designed as a cable-stayed bridge. The steel and concrete works including the foundation have been done by the consortium Rohlfing Stahlbau und Meurer-Bau.

 

Zollhafen Mainz - bascule bridge for pedestrians and cyclists

 

Now an elegant bascule bridge spans the port entrance to the former “Zollhafen“ in Mainz. For cyclists and pedestrians it closes the gap between city centre, waterfront and “Kaiserbrücke“. In addition, the construction allows boats the access to the port with all water levels.

 

Due to the modern light character the bridge construction, 60 metres long, adapts itself to the new urbane quarter. Hydraulically operated the bridge is machine as well as structure work. The scope of works included, among others, the renovation of the historical abutments, concrete works, the steel structure, hydraulics, and control technology. Rohlfing Stahlbau and Heinrich Walter Bau did the works as a consortium with Buck Engineering and Girmatic as partners.

A smart bridge for Lunzenau

 

Four years ago in June a high water destroyed the “Küblers Brücke” in Lunzenau/Germany. Now, on June 22th, the city mayor of Lunzenau and members of the Saxon state ministry of environment and agriculture will inaugurate the new built bridge. The total length of the steel framework bridge crossing the “Zwickauer Mulde” in Lunzenau amounts to 57 metres. The building has a total width of about 6 metres. The steel structure consists of two sloping-recumbent, haunched girders, some cross beams and a roadway. The structure is stored on steel columns, which are on the middle pillar and on the abutments. Rohlfing Stahlbau Stemwede produced the steel construction and installed it.

The hall 10 with it’s distinguish roof will continue the curved silhouette of the existing halls. Especially, the entrance west will be considerably revaluated by the new building. The consortium Rohlfing and Profil Stahlbau realized the steel construction and the timer-frame works. All works are carried out during normal operation. The new building will be opened probably at the beginning of 2018.

 

Like a big umbrella

Membrane pavilion Stockholm

 

From now on, a retractable roof offers during the warm season weather security for the outside catering area on the "Stureplan", one of the central places in Stockholm. The by Rohlfing Stahlbau built steel construction with membrane roof will be installed in the pedestrian's area yearly from May to October. The elliptical roof with dimensions of about 11.2 x 14.4 meters protects the guests like a big umbrella against the weather and can be automatically opened and be closed.

 

Bridging in Lüdenscheid

Footbridge connects railway station area and Phänomenta

 

A distinctive bridge leads in future from the “Brückenplatz” in front of the technical college in Luedenscheid to the science museum “Phänomenta”. The by Rohlfing Stahlbau produced and installed footbridge consists of two elegantly curved metal bows, the supporting steps on the eastern side and a platform on the west. The metal bows are made from 6-sided steel box segments of different depth. A lift provides for a barrier-free access to the Phänomenta and the technology centre.

Works under demanding conditions

Redevelopment of the “Johannis”-Bridge” in Saarbrucken

A Christmas Tree for Bristol

 

The main attraction of this year’s German Christmas Market in Bristol is the probably world’s highest Christmas tree. It stands 32 meters high and is towering in Broadmead in the center of Bristol’s Shopping Quarter between traditional chalets decorated with festive greenery and colorful lights. The tree itself is decorated with more than 4,000,000 lights and offers a restaurant area that seats 55 guests. The Christmas tree’s steel construction with over 70 tons was produced and installed by Rohlfing Stahlbau, Germany. The company carried out also the engineering and the structural calculation.

 

 

Metzgergasse Buchs, Switzerland

Retractable roof protects against weather effects

 

The “Metzgergasse” in Buchs (Switzerland, St. Gallen) was redeveloped as a part of the urban pedestrian area. In this context the 11m wide and 50m long lane in the heart of the city was equipped with a retractable textile canopy which protects against rain and provides shade.

 

In order to create a generous space impression and to receive enough height, the roof structure designed by Kugel Architects (Stuttgart) was positioned in an average height of 6.5m above street level. On request a central driving unit automatically opens and closes the foldable PTFE fabric within a few minutes. The retractable roof which covers 525sqm completely moves on steel rails which are fixed via consoles with the existing buildings.

The Phänomenta Lüdenscheid has been increased

 

The interactive museum, Phänomenta Lüdenscheid has increased space and contents. To offer even more place for technical and physical experiments and exhibits the science museum grows about 2,000 square metres. And it also goes out high. A 75-metre-high tower with a “Foucaultschem Pendulum” will be the spotlight of the new building and a landmark for the region. The tower is designed as a steel-membrane-construction and serves as a weather protection for the exhibit, which explains the earth's rotation. Therefore, the steel tower grows metre by metre first at the Rohlfing workshop in Niedermehnen and then on site in Lüdenscheid. All pipe cuttings were produced by Rohlfing staff and machinery.

Bridge day on the A2

“Jägersteig” bridge now on its place

 

The bridge was expected from the citizens in the south of Bielefeld longingly. More than 200 onlookers were at night on the legs to watch how the new steel construction for the “Jängersteig” bridge was mounted with a special crane across the motorway A2. The footbridge crossing the important road had collapsed in September, 2010, after a dump truck rammed the middle pillar. The new bridge (44 meters long, 52 tonnes weight) ordered by “Straßen NRW” was built by the consortium Rohlfing/Scheidt. Until its opening for pedestrians in May, 2013, the stairs will be mounted and the bearings will be completed.
