Spring is here – with its lightness, the blossoming trees outside our office and the first warm rays of sunshine. It’s a time of new beginnings, renewal and moments, big and small, that bring us together. The perfect moment to pause, say “thank you” – and of course: to celebrate Easter.

 🐣 What does Easter mean at CSZ?
For some, it’s the classic Easter breakfast with the family – like our colleagues Manuela Eckelt and Aleksandar Kolev-Eckelt from Darmstadt. They sent us a photo of their lovingly laid Easter table. Especially cute: their son painted an egg with the CSZ logo. A nice sign of how strongly our team spirit is also felt at home – and sometimes even ends up on an Easter egg.
For others, Easter marks the start of the barbecue season! In Darmstadt, we take advantage of the sunny spring weather to have a barbecue together on our roof terrace on Friday. Colleagues come together, exchange ideas and round off the week in a relaxed atmosphere. Moments like these show: Community at CSZ goes far beyond daily project work.

 🥚 Architecture meets Easter eggs.
And sometimes the associations with Easter are even of an architectural nature – as with our project in Würzburg. Two impressive digestion tanks were built there for the municipal sewage treatment plant, whose shape is reminiscent of oversized Easter eggs. Designed by Auer Weber Architekten, they look like smoothly polished river pebbles – elegant, efficient and unique.
Thanks to the new structure, significantly more energy can be generated in future – and at the same time the project sets a striking architectural accent at the entrance to the Zellerau district. Function meets form: An engineering structure that not only impresses with its performance, but also with its aesthetics.

 🌸 Spring is in the air.
And sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impression: The trees outside our office are blooming in soft pink, putting us in a good mood and awakening our anticipation of what’s to come. It is precisely these harbingers of spring that inspire us – quiet, beautiful hints of movement and new beginnings.

We wish all our colleagues, partners and friends a happy Easter!

April 18 is International Monuments Day – an occasion to recognize the value of monuments and historic buildings and highlight their importance for future generations. At CSZ, we are committed to the preservation and sustainable renovation of this architecture every day. Today we present some of the projects that we have supported with our expertise.

 🏰  Rheinsberg Castle – Restoration of a historical masterpiece.
Rheinsberg Castle, built in 1736, is a prime example of the preservation of historic buildings. Now used as a museum, music academy and event venue, CSZ was responsible for the overall planning, including the basic assessment, structural design and construction supervision. In particular, the assessment of crack and settlement damage as well as the safety measures were decisive for the preservation of the castle.

 🏛 Hessian State Museum Darmstadt – Optimization of the indoor climate.
During the general refurbishment of the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt, CSZ supported the optimization of the indoor climate. The large skylights caused the building to heat up considerably in summer. We were able to achieve valuable improvements for the museum with targeted consulting services on heat and moisture protection as well as thermal simulations.

 🏤 Palais Lanz Mannheim – monument protection and inventory.
Palais Lanz in Mannheim, built in 1913, is considered the largest preserved monument of French Belle Époque architecture in Germany. CSZ prepared a comprehensive inventory of the structural design, technical equipment and renovation of the roof and façade. Our expert opinion helped to fulfill all monument protection requirements and to secure the palace for the future.

 🏡 Offenbach manor house – renovation of a historic building for modern living.
The manor house in Offenbach, built in 1912, was converted into a modern residential building with ten high-quality apartments. CSZ was responsible for the structural design, building physics and fire protection. The challenge was to preserve the charm of the historic substance while at the same time meeting modern living requirements – from the spacious living room in the former dining room to barrier-free use thanks to the retrofitted elevator.

 📜 Heritage conservation as a responsibility for the future.
International Monuments Day reminds us how important it is not only to preserve historic buildings, but also to make them fit for the future. At CSZ, we see ourselves as a partner for the preservation of monuments. With our expertise in the fields of structural design, building physics, fire protection and renovation, we make a decisive contribution to protecting these unique buildings for future generations and preserving their historical significance.

On March 19 and 20, 2025, the Dresden Bridge Construction Symposium took place under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steffen Marx at TU Dresden. Experts from the bridge construction industry exchanged views on current developments and technologies. A team from CSZ was on site to gain valuable insights and new ideas. In seven short answers, the CSZ team reveals which impulses from the symposium will be decisive for future projects.

1. Which topics at the bridge construction symposium did you find particularly important for CSZ?
“The insight into the work of our colleagues from the industry was particularly interesting for us. The state of the infrastructure and the government’s announced investment package, which at 500 billion euros for infrastructure and climate protection comprises a considerable volume, were discussed intensively. The preservation of existing bridges is a top priority for all project participants.”

2. What does CSZ take away from the symposium to improve future bridge construction projects?
“The topic of structural diagnostics is still a decisive factor. Especially after the tragic collapse of the Carola Bridge, we have to continuously question and optimize our work processes and the care we take when inspecting and repairing bridges. We must be aware of this responsibility, but at the same time remain open to new building materials and innovative solutions that improve bridge construction in the long term.”

3. Were there any new technologies or materials that you found interesting for your work at CSZ?
“The exhibition of over 100 exhibitors provided an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest products and technologies. We found the dialog with the companies Huesker and Mageba particularly exciting. The increased use of carbon in bridge projects, for example in arch bridges with carbon cable hangers, is a technology that offers us a lot of potential for future projects.”

The Dresden Bridge Construction Symposium 2025 not only offered a deep insight into current challenges in bridge construction, but also into innovative solutions and sustainable approaches. The focus was particularly on increasing the efficiency of projects and integrating new technologies and materials. CSZ draws valuable inspiration from the discussions and presentations to make future projects even more sustainable and resource-efficient.

4. What challenges in bridge construction were addressed at the symposium?
“The focus was on hydraulic engineering aspects, flow dynamics and flood protection, particularly with regard to more frequent flood events. The prioritization of renovation projects (paths, bridges, routes) was also discussed in depth. It is crucial to always keep an eye on the economic viability of both individual projects and the entire infrastructure.”

5. Were there any new ideas for increasing efficiency in bridge construction that are relevant for CSZ?
“The presentation of sample and type designs for several locations is particularly relevant for us. They enable a more efficient use of resources while maintaining high quality and adaptability to different conditions.”

6. How does CSZ deal with the issue of sustainability in bridge construction?
“Sustainability is central to our work. We focus on renovating existing bridges instead of building new ones whenever possible. Our bridge designs make it possible to separate building materials by type during demolition in order to promote their reuse and reduce CO2 emissions.”

7. Which projects at the Bridge Construction Prize 2025 inspired you in particular?
“The Chemnitz Viaduct, which was preserved as a landmark thanks to the involvement of the citizens, was particularly inspiring. We were also impressed by the Oder Bridge in Küstrin, which uses advanced technology to create a symbolic link between two countries. The New Rain Bridge in Roding impresses with its successful design and the optimization of material requirements – an example of modern, efficient bridge planning.”

Conclusion
The Dresden Bridge Construction Symposium 2025 provided CSZ with valuable impetus for future projects. The discussions about infrastructure, innovative materials and sustainable renovation approaches will continue to shape the company’s work. CSZ remains open to new developments and implements these findings to make bridges more efficient, sustainable and safe.
