Our colleagues from Dortmund, Münster, and Düsseldorf ran the 6 kilometers together, showing strong team spirit, great energy, and plenty of motivation. Our managing directors, Eckhard Gerber and Benjamin Sieber, were also on site and supported the team. Especially noteworthy: by taking part, we were able to support the organization Menschen für Menschen. So the run was not only a sporting highlight but also served a social purpose.

Afterwards, we wrapped up the evening together with good food and cold drinks – the perfect opportunity to reflect on the run as a group.

Thanks to everyone who took part. We’re already looking forward to next year.

On May 7, 2026, the groundbreaking ceremony marked the official start of construction for the new therapy center at Klinik Eichholz in Bad Waldliesborn.

The approximately 2,500 square meter new building is being developed as an extension of the existing clinic ensemble at the current main entrance. The two-story structure will consolidate key therapy functions in one location, including a rehabilitation pool, therapy and group areas, as well as facilities for outpatient and day-care treatments. The compact layout will improve workflows and provide clearer orientation for patients.

The design by Gerber Architekten follows an organic architectural language that integrates sensitively into the surrounding park landscape. The precise positioning of the building minimizes the impact on the environment while creating a clear spatial addition to the existing structures. A transparent connecting corridor forms the new entrance and links the existing and new buildings into a cohesive functional and architectural unit.

Construction is being carried out while the clinic remains in operation, requiring temporary adjustments to access and circulation – a particular challenge for both planning and construction.

We look forward to the realization and completion of the project for the client Gesundheitszentrum in Bad Waldliesborn GmbH, with whom another project in the field of healthcare architecture is being delivered.

Gerber Architekten has been awarded 2nd prize in the competition for the refurbishment of the former slaughterhouse in Fürstenfeldbruck.

The approximately 7,300 m² site, built in 1911, is a defining part of Fürstenfeldbruck’s inner city and, as part of the planned Kreativquartier Fürstenfeldbruck, plays a key role in its future urban development. The design transforms the listed ensemble into a vibrant quarter accommodating studios, workshops, event spaces and gastronomy. The existing buildings are largely preserved in their structure and are reactivated and further developed through targeted interventions. An overarching open space concept forms the backbone of the design: a clear sequence of differentiated outdoor spaces structures the site and connects the various uses into an open and versatile whole.

The jury particularly acknowledged the clarity of the design concept, the high quality of the open space organization and the sensitive approach to the existing fabric, which is limited to a few precise interventions.
New buildings are conceived as distinct, carefully scaled additions that define the open spaces and enter into a deliberate dialogue with the existing structures.
The result is a flexible and identity-forming place that preserves the history of the former slaughterhouse while generating new impulses for the Kreativquartier Fürstenfeldbruck.

Our design thoughtfully builds upon the existing structure while creating a sustainable learning environment. The goal of the concept is to reduce the additional building volume to the absolute minimum and to preserve the existing open spaces as much as possible.

The extension of the main building complements the existing structure precisely and seamlessly. The existing gymnasium wing will be demolished and replaced by a compact, two-story new building with gymnasiums arranged one above the other. This allows the required space to be organized efficiently while ensuring more contiguous outdoor space.

At the center of the design is the auditorium, serving as the spatial and social heart of the school. Together with the newly created open spaces, this creates open, communicative areas that encourage interaction, relaxation, and collaborative learning. Generous glazing and wooden louvers define the architectural language of the additions, creating bright, warm spaces with a sustainable character.

Through targeted interventions in the existing structure, this creates a resource-efficient and high-quality solution for a contemporary educational building.

King Salman Park demonstrates how a former airport site can be transformed into a new, sustainable landscape. The transformation into a sprawling park combines ecological responsibility with forward-thinking urban development.

Projects such as the Architecture Museum demonstrate how architecture and landscape can interact harmoniously. The design is guided by the principles of Salmani architecture: cooling materials, natural air circulation, and strategic shading contribute to a more pleasant climate in Riyadh.

At Gerber Architekten, engaging with ecological and sustainable designs is a central component of our work. We view the interplay of landscape, climate, and architecture as an essential foundation for sustainable and responsible planning.

A new residential quarter for SAGA is being developed on Friedrich-Ebert-Damm in Hamburg-Wandsbek based on designs by Gerber Architekten. The project will provide 236 publicly subsidized apartments, two commercial units, and an underground car park with 40 parking spaces. Divided into two construction phases, the development will replace four existing buildings with a contemporary new ensemble.

The building application was submitted at the end of 2023. Demolition works are currently making visible progress: waste material removal has been completed, the end buildings have already been demolished, and the demolition of the first two residential blocks is expected to be completed within the next four to six weeks. Completion of the first construction phase is currently scheduled for 2028.

With a differentiated height concept of six storeys facing Friedrich-Ebert-Damm and four storeys towards the rear garden-city development, the ensemble with its brick façades integrates into the existing urban fabric. At the same time, the project creates urgently needed housing for a range of household sizes, particularly for families. Through the new planning concept, the residential floor area will increase from around 11,000 m² to more than 17,000 m².

Green flat roofs with photovoltaic systems, district heating, barrier-free access, and generous loggias highlight the sustainable and user-oriented approach of the design.

We wish you and your loved ones sunny and relaxing holidays.
