Construction process

Nach dem Eröffnungswochenende Mitte September, das uns einen wunderbaren Vorgeschmack auf die Zukunft gegeben hat, beginnt jetzt die abschließende Bauphase.
In den kommenden Monaten werden Restarbeiten wie die Installation des Fahrstuhls, Schallschutzmaßnahmen sowie der finale Innenausbau durchgeführt.
Wir freuen uns darauf, ab nächstem Frühjahr das fertiggestellte ZK/U gemeinsam mit euch zu erleben.

//////

Following the opening weekend in mid-September, which gave us a wonderful preview of what’s to come, we go into the final construction phase.
In the coming months, finishing touches such as the installation of the elevator, soundproofing measures, and completing the interior construction will be carried out.
We look forward to experiencing the fully completed ZK/U with you next spring.
