Mauerwerk - European Journal of Masonry 06/15

Cover Story: The listed Waterways and Shipping Office being built in the year 1895 is located on the Kiel- Holtenau sluice island, which adjoins to the Kiel Canal. Lastly, the old building, built in Wilhelminian brick architecture, did not fulfil the requirements for a modern office and administration building any more. The functions were marched in a new building and a restoration preserving its historic appearance and energetic renovation of the old building was ensured. The pbr AG executed the commission as general planner (s. p. 487 to 490).
