A tunnel hall for the Bamberger winery in the idyllic wine country of Nahe.
Christian Bamberg’s vineyard in Rhineland-Palatinate is one of the best in Germany. He needs special machines to cultivate his vineyards, which he keeps well protected in a beam tunnel hall near the wine press room.
The project at a glance
The Bamberger family has been cultivating its vineyards in the Nahe since 1658. In 2007, Christian Bamberger took over the winery in the 14th generation and has won one award after another for his complex red and white wines. Wine-growing requires special agricultural machinery and soil cultivation equipment, which are associated with high acquisition costs and accordingly need to be well maintained and safely stored.
Christian Bamberger therefore decided to build a spacious beam tunnel hall. The double T-girder construction allowed a self-supporting span of 15 m with static proof. With a length of 22 m and a height of 7,50 m, plenty of storage space for machines and other goods was created inside. A large, electrically operated roll up door facilitates access and lets natural daylight in, as does the transparent gable cladding.
It is mounted on a 1 m high concrete base.
