GERBER - Facade works

The Gerber Quarter in Stuttgart once was a well-known leather tanning centre. These days are past, and with the erection of the GERBER shopping centre, shopping has filled the blank. The GERBER´s 25,000 sqm of retail space are divided in 86 boutiques, diverse restaurants and grocery stores. Additionally, 16,000 sqm of high-quality office and residential spaces have been added to the GERBER complex.

Lindner Fassaden GmbH was commissioned with the construction of the entire building envelope for this project. This also included the facade systems of the townhouses as well as the refurbishment works on the historic corner building. A total of 1,373 m² of aluminium post-and-beam construction and 970 m² of aluminium cladding highlight the contemporary character of the shopping centre. The architectural focal point, however, is the 5,500 m² natural stone facade made of Portuguese shell limestone, which lends the structure both elegance and timelessness. It is complemented by 4,000 m² of external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), ensuring an energy-efficient building envelope. In addition, 2,400 m² of timber-aluminium windows are harmoniously integrated into the overall design. For the listed corner building, 320 m² of traditional timber windows were installed, while 554 aluminium windows in the other sections emphasise the modern appearance.

Lindner was also entrusted with the complete interior fit-out of GERBER.
