Sustainability in the Hattersheim town hall

The Hattersheim town hall is an outstanding example of how sustainable construction and monument protection can go hand in hand. Instead of demolishing the hall, the town of Hattersheim am Main opted for a careful and resource-conserving renovation - an active contribution to the protection of the environment and historical values.

Preservation instead of demolition - saving resources and energy

By preserving the existing building fabric, enormous amounts of building materials, energy and costs were saved. The refurbishment was carried out with the utmost care and in consideration of the listed building status. The preservation of the high-quality end-grain parquet is an example of the respectful use of existing materials. The parquet was professionally refurbished and will continue to be treated with great care in order to extend its lifespan.

Energy-efficient refurbishment at the highest level

The town hall was refurbished as far as possible in accordance with current energy requirements:

Insulation

The ceilings and roof were extensively insulated to minimize heat loss.

Windows

All window panes were converted to modern double glazing to increase energy efficiency.

Sun protection

The new sun shading has increased UV protection, which protects the interior from overheating and reduces the load on the air conditioning system.

Heat recovery

The installed cold rooms are equipped with a heat recovery system, which makes sensible use of the heat given off.

Energy-efficient technology
and lighting

The entire event technology as well as the interior and exterior lighting were converted to modern, energy-efficient LED technology. This leads to a significant reduction in energy consumption and lowers operating costs at the same time.

Sustainable selection of event partners
and maintenance

Stadthalle Hattersheim works with partners who act in accordance with sustainable principles. In addition, local companies are commissioned for maintenance and servicing. This not only reduces long journeys and therefore CO₂ emissions, but also strengthens the local economy and creates regional jobs.

Conserving resources through intelligent
Irrigation

A drip irrigation system is installed outdoors, which communicates with a weather station. Irrigation only takes place when it is really necessary - an efficient solution that reduces water consumption in a targeted manner and still ensures the plants have an optimum supply.

In planning

Charging stations for environmentally friendly mobility

As part of the sustainable focus, two charging stations for electric cars will be installed in the outdoor area. These are not only available to event guests, but also offer visitors to Hattersheim am Main the opportunity to charge their vehicles in an environmentally friendly way.

A role model for sustainable monument preservation

The Hattersheim Town Hall impressively demonstrates that sustainable building and monument protection are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other. The successful combination of tradition and modern technology has preserved a historic building that meets current and future requirements - a benefit for the environment, urban society and the cultural identity of Hattersheim.
