Topping-out ceremony at Quartier West in Darmstadt

At 11 AM on Friday April 27, everyone involved in the buildings celebrated the topping-out cere-mony for the new office and hotel building on Kavalleriesand. With the move to Quartier West, KREBS+KIEFER brings all of the current 240 and future employees of the engineering firm at the Darmstadt location under one roof. The staff is currently spread between three locations within the city.

Even a good six months after the start of construction work, it is right on schedule. Both buildings should be finished by the end of the year. Max Dudler, the renowned architect, designed the buildings, which will later be given a very special character with a landscaped courtyard and nat-ural stone facade in Portuguese limestone.

Approximately 160 invited guests participated in the event The speeches by architect Max Dud-ler and Horst Hadergasser, CEO of the Unit project development company and ceremony or-ganiser, were followed by the traditional recitation, a toast to the owner and throwing of the glass by the master carpenter. This was followed by the invitation to everyone present to indulge themselves at a rich buffet. The relaxed get-together created a cheerful atmosphere. The cere-mony ended early in the afternoon.

KREBS+KIEFER will rent 85% of the office building. The entire staff of the engineering firm is looking forward to the move.
