Round timber construction

With the Globe Theatre, which was completed in 2023, Coburg has a new highlight of a special kind. The new theatre is not only a four-storey circular building, but also almost a pure timber construction. It serves as a temporary solution during the general renovation of the venerable Landestheater in the historic city centre. The building ensemble is located close to the city centre on the site of the former goods station and consists of a main building and three adjoining buildings in timber construction. The actual theatre building rises strikingly into the air as a circular structure. The three outbuildings adjoin the main building one behind the other and are connected to each other by a glazed corridor. The circular building made of cross-laminated timber, glulam and floor slabs in timber-concrete composite dry construction was a challenge for all planners and builders. Z & Uuml;BLIN Timber from Aichach was responsible for ensuring that the planning, production, delivery and installation of the timber-concrete composite ceilings ran smoothly. The new interim venue has been very popular since its opening and will continue to be used for events after the reopening of the state theatre.
