New Construction of the Entrance Building to Hambach Castle, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Max Dudler developed a stone cladding of sandstone for the entrance building to Hambach Castle, which was implemented with our regional Leistädter Sandstein.
Like the masonry façade, which was executed with joints just 3 mm in width, the entire roof is also made of natural stone.
Due to their geometry, the roof surfaces are not plane surfaces. The roof is executed with 8 cm thick natural stone slabs, which are reversibly installed in a stainless steel substructure. This substructure is connected to the building structure through a fixed/loose flange construction, with thermal insulation and sealing layers sandwiched between the two. A hidden gutter achieves a seamless transition from the roof to the façade.
Numerous stones in special shapes for use as ridge or barge caps round off the overall look of the building.
