Official Opening "Wooden Sphere Steinberg am See" by Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder

On April 1, 2019, the official opening of the outsanding project Wooden Sphere Steinberg am See took place. The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder and Minister of State Albert Füracker also attended the opening. Prime Minister Söder described the project as "an architectural masterpiece". With a weight of over 500 tons, a height of 40 metres and a diameter of almost 50 metres, this project can already be seen from afar. 627 m³ of glued laminated timber, 190 tons of steel parts, 40,000 screws, 18,000 bolts/building screws/dowels, 3,300 m² cladding panels and 2,200 meters of railing - these are just a few of the key features of this enormous project. We at HESS TIMBER are proud that we were able to demonstrate our knowledge and expertise in this extraordinary project.
