<h1>Report01_Hoffenheim_GB_0815.pdf</h1> <p>1899 Hoffenheim <br />Rhein - Neckar - Arena</p> <p>TSG 1899 Hoffenheim roused emotions with their triumphant ascent into Germany’s football <br />Bundesliga, their new Rhein - Neckar - Arena is having the same effect. <br />The inferno of Sinsheim – for the Hoffenheim fans it is the hope that <br />the new Rhein - Neckar - Arena will embodie this vision. The crowd is <br />expected to bay and roar in the 30,150 seats, creating an atmosphere <br />akin to that of a fiery cauldron. The stadium‘s owner, SAP co -founder <br />Dietmar Hopp, commissioned general planner agn Niederberghaus <br />& Partner with the construction of the arena, which was to become the <br />future home of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. <br />A roof that is both heavy and light <br />At first glance, the stadium looks too cool and airy to resemble a furnace. <br />Thin rings break down the structure, reducing its mass: the entrance <br />plinth, the gallery above it, a central section with facade trusses, part <br />glass, part expanded metal, above it the rear row of grandstand seating <br />and the roof, which appears to be suspended slightly above the stand. <br />The impression is mearly an illusion, because the roof weighs 3,400 <br />tonnes and is supported only by slim steel braces. It is composed of a <br />lattice frame made from white - painted hollow steel sections, which were <br />assembled on site to form long beams and mounted onto the braces.</p> <p>The pillars are situated behind the grandstand, a difficult solution from a <br />static viewpoint. However, as a result the interior area is free of pillars and <br />the spectators are given the impression that the roof is floating effortlessly <br />above. <br />Luxury for pitch, fans and players <br />The pitch is a perfect checkered green. To ensure that it stays this way, <br />the architects have optimised the climate in the stadium: transparent <br />polycarbonate sheets on the inner edge of the roof allow daylight to <br />fall on the pitch, while the winds can blow gently across the grass from <br />numerous access points within the grandstands. The seating sections <br />are clearly defined, easily accessible and safe. Their steep rise ensures <br />that each fan is moved closer to the turf and better able to look over the <br />spectators in front of him. The best view is reserved for the VIP - Guests <br />over on the western side of the stadium. Here they can enjoy the games <br />in any of the 40 boxes, each featuring 35 square metres over two <br />levels. The VIP galleries behind the boxes are furnished with luxurious <br />materials such as wooden parquet, light - coloured large-format tiles, glass</p> <p>Photo: Christian Richters, arturimages</p> <p>The dream of Sinsheim</p> <p>”PRECISION WORK <br />ON THE CONSTRUCTION <br />SITE“ <br />Fliesen - Brück GmbH, Münster</p> <p>The construction of the Rhein - Neckar - Arena was an exciting task for all <br />concerned. As we have already been using products from SCHOMBURG <br />for many years, we were largely familiar with their application and able to <br />work in a fast and accomplished manner. However, the requirements placed <br />on materials for an event structure such as this are enormous. For instance, <br />tiles and substrates in the catering kitchens and kiosks on the promenades are <br />required to withstand high loads and be water and germ resistant. As a result <br />we chose to apply the elastic Asoflex - AKB - Waterproofing as a substrate <br />for the wall and floor tiles. We also installed tiles in the sports studio, the <br />two relaxation pools, the showers and on the galleries. In total, we applied <br />almost 13,000 square metres of wall and floor tiles throughout the stadium <br />facilities, at a rate of up to one thousand square metres per week. The timely <br />completion of the entire structure was truly a logistical masterpiece.</p> <p>PRODUCT - EXPERTISE <br />Areas Completed Communal areas (wet rooms, dressing rooms), kiosk promenade, catering areas on the western stand (VIP area)</p> <p>Photos (3): Uwe Grün, kraichgaufoto</p> <p>Tile adhesive AK7P, UNIFIX - S3, SOLOFLEX, SOLOFLEX-FAST, UNIFIX-2K, ADF-Systemkleber, CRISTALLIT-MULTI-flex I Tile Grout ASO-Flexfuge, HF05-Brillantfuge I <br />Underlayment SOLOPLAN-30 I Decoupling STEPBOARD I Levelling Mortar SOLOCRET -15 I Primer ASO-Unigrund-K I Epoxy Primer INDUFLOOR - IB1225 I <br />Cementitious Waterproofing AQUAFIN-2K/M I Dispersion Waterproofing SANIFLEX I Waterproofing PU ASOFLEX-AKB/EP-Floor, ASOFLEX-AKB/EP-Floor 7038, <br />ASOFLEX-AKB/EP-Wall 7038 I Waterproofing Membrane SANIFIN I Sealing Tape ASO - Joint - Tape-2000, ASO - Joint - Tape - 2000 - S Sealing Tape – Corners / Sleeves <br />ASO - Joint - Sleeve Floor+Wall, ASO - Joint - Tape - 2000 - S - Corners I Sealing Grout INDUCRET - VK-100 I Other Spiked Roller Type 10, Primer-2000, Quartz Sand G23T, <br />UNIFLEX - B</p> <p>balustrades, stainless steel railing, fashionable furniture in brown and <br />white and the panorama of the Kraichgau hills behind the glass facade. <br />The true luxury however, is space, and not just in the galleries. From the <br />very spacious players‘ dressing rooms, at 150 square metres, to further <br />areas, such as a warm - up room with an artificial turf, rooms for doctors <br />and physical therapists and ice and relaxation baths. Here too, the <br />materials were selected with care in a reserved colour scheme: specialty <br />rubber flooring in warm tones for the dressing rooms, simple wooden <br />lockers with blue elements, non - slip grey - tiled floors in the shower and <br />Kneipp rooms. Matt - white wall tiles reflect the light from the downlights <br />illuminating those spaces which do not receive natural daylight but in <br />which players should nevertheless feel good and replenish their energy <br />before running out onto the pitch. Here the sheer wall of spectators <br />awaits, they can only hope that the baying fans are their own. <br /> </p> <p>Rosa Grewe <br />Darmstadt, Germany</p> <p>Floor drain, not to scale</p> <p>Photo: Christian Richters, arturimages</p> <p>The floors are connected to one another via an open stairway</p> <p>”A SPECIAL CHALLENGE“</p> <p>Be it the floating roof, extremely steep grandstand or the new <br />mark placed in the landscape – it truly is a worthy stadium for the <br />winter champion of the Bundesliga. The aggressive goal called <br />for planning, implementation and completion of the stadium within <br />24 months. This schedule was only met due to the interdisciplinary <br />work of the general planner, which enabled the overlapping and <br />parallel progression in various stages and disciplines. <br />The approval plans had been submitted within just two months, with <br />construction amazingly commencing a mere four months later. The main <br />difference of this project to comparable other stadium constructions was the <br />assignment of the work to classic individual tradesmen instead of to a single <br />general contractor.</p> <p>Photo: agn Niederberghaus & Partner GmbH, Ibbenbüren</p> <p>Wolfgang Franke, General Planner at agn Niederberghaus & Partner <br />GmbH, Ibbenbüren</p> <p>Photos (3 + Titel): Uwe Grün, kraichgaufoto</p> <p>The players dressing rooms and wet room areas were the <br />main focuses for SCHOMBURG ’ s products. <br />Both the ice bath and relaxation bath are completely tiled. <br />Unfortunately, all of these areas are not open <br />to the public</p> <p>CONSTRUCTION DATA <br />Building Rhein-Neckar-Arena, Sinsheim <br />Client 1899 Hoffenheim <br />Architect agn Niederberghaus & Partner GmbH, Ibbenbüren <br />Tiling work Fliesen-Brück GmbH, Münster <br />Work period 07 – 12 2008 <br />Total surface area (wall and floor tiles) approx. 13,500 m² <br />Number of workers up to 40 tilers, waterproofers, technicians</p> <p>Photo: Reinhard Koslowski</p> <p>SELECTION OF REFERENCES</p> <p>LTU Arena, Duesseldorf</p> <p>Hyatt Regency Hotel, Trinidad</p> <p>Festland–Bäderland, Hamburg</p> <p>SCHOMBURG GmbH & Co.
