Within a few months, the long-serving Banut 655 covered some 11 000 km in Australia in order to open up previously undeveloped regions. Contrasting with this, our building site “on historical ground” at Berlin’s Charité Hospital can already look back on a chequered history. During the 300 years of its existence, this hospital has witnessed demolition, destruction and rebuilding on many occasions. Two contrasting modes of transport, which complement each other, however, are waterways and railways. ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik offers individual concepts for both of these “worlds”. How significance is being restored to the Oder–Spree Canal is the subject of our article entitled “New investors for old industrial sites”. godehard Drees Christian Walter The article “Sophisticated system solutions for Deutsche Bahn” provides an insight into optimisation measures that are not only interesting for railway traffic. bauma 2010 provided a stark contrast to the mood of recent years. The economic downturn has bottomed out and, like Phoenix rising from the ashes, the construction plant sector is in business again. And by the way, our new trade fair stand was the highlight on the open-air site! These and many more features of our work are described on the following pages.

04 geRMaNY LeaD STORY NeW THYSSeNKRUPP QUaRTeR NOW OPeN FOR BUSINeSS The new corporate headquarters of ThyssenKrupp AG – the ThyssenKrupp Quarter – was inaugurated on 17 June 2010. Present at the ceremony were former Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Dr. Jürgen Rüttgers, Essen’s mayor, Reinhold Pass, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, Prof. Dr. h.c. mult. Berthold Beitz, and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ThyssenKrupp AG, Dr. Gerhard Cromme, and numerous public figures. The consolidation of its administrative offices at the traditional locations of Essen and Duisburg marks the start of a new epoch for the Group. The Quarter in Essen – combining administrative offices previously spread over various sites – will become the heart of the whole Group. Dr. Ekkehard Schulz, Executive Board Chairman of Thyssen- Krupp AG, says: “The Quarter stands for the dawning of a new era. It stands for internationality and modernity, for openness and cooperation, for innovation and sustainability. The ThyssenKrupp Quarter is thus the architectural embodiment of our corporate culture.” The decision to build the new headquarters in Essen, and thus consolidate administration in Essen and Duisburg, was made in 2006. The ambitious aim behind the new headquarters was set out in the guidelines for the architectural competition: “The ThyssenKrupp Quarter is to become a symbol for the forward-looking, sustainable development of the Group.” Realisation of the winning bid by JSWD Architekten and Chaix & Morel et associés, who form the consortium “Architekten ThyssenKrupp Quartier”, began with the symbolic groundbreaking on 12 June 2007. The laying of the foundation stone took place on 5 September 2008, and the topping-out ceremony was held on 17 July 2009. The modern architecture, split over several buildings, stands for dialogue and the sharing of knowledge among the more than 2000 employees who will have their new workplace here. The aim of creating an architectural appearance that was as transparent and homogenous as possible was met in full. More than 300 firms have worked on the project, and in the final stages more than 1600 specialists in the various trades were at work on the site every day. The ThyssenKrupp Academy and two further administrative buildings will follow in a second development phase. Their construction is currently on hold. However, construction of the child daycare centre will begin immediately. This centre underlines ThyssenKrupp’s efforts to allow employees to combine family and career. The company also attaches importance to fostering the all-round development of pre-school children and awakening their curiosity for science and technology. One of the highlights of the ThyssenKrupp Quarter is the cube-shaped centrepiece Q1. Its height of 50 m and its distinctive, expressive shape make it a real eye-catcher for visitors. Some 500 employees moved into their offices in July 2010. Building Q2, the Forum, houses several conference rooms seating up to 1000 people, a staff restaurant, guest restaurant and a “Room of Tranquility”. The Q2 Forum is a place for meetings and project work – a true hub of communication. The ThyssenKrupp Quarter is complemented by buildings Q5 and Q7. They form an architectural ensemble with Q1 and the Q2 Forum, offering space for another 220 and 300 employees respectively. geRMaNY 05 The workplace for more than 2000 ThyssenKrupp employees. Architecture for a new age. An exceptional event for the company. Three years of construction work came to fruition when the new group headquarters for ThyssenKrupp ag was officially inaugurated. The modern, transparent architecture of the headquarters with its great expanses of glass on all sides allows a fascinating insight into the internal workings and at the same time symbolises the transparent structure of the group.
