On International Firefighters’ Day, we would like to thank the brave firefighters who risk their lives every day to protect us. Their tireless efforts deserve our utmost appreciation. 🚒 As experts in fire protection services, CSZ Brandschutz GmbH has set itself the task of ensuring the protection of life and limb as well as buildings with fire protection concepts that focus on protection goals. The key to effective fire protection solutions is early planning – fire hazards and preventive measures must be taken into account in the initial planning phase. Thanks to our interdisciplinary knowledge and extensive experience, we professionally implement all measures from planning to execution.

Our services at a glance:

• planning & approval planning: development of customized fire protection concepts that meet all safety requirements.
• construction & monitoring: ensuring the correct implementation of the previously defined fire protection measures.
• commissioning & quality assurance: monitoring commissioning and ensuring fire protection documentation.

Selected CSZ projects: Individual fire protection concepts for a wide range of building types – from educational and healthcare buildings to technically demanding special buildings. An insight into our work:

• Lunar simulation facility LUNA, Cologne.
  As general planner, CSZ was responsible for the complete project preparation and implementation – including structural design, technical equipment, traffic planning, building physics and fire protection.
• Center for Mental Health, Böblingen.
  CSZ is responsible for the planning of technical equipment, structural design, building physics, as well as preventive fire protection.
• “An der Hasenheide” elementary school, Bernau.
  CSZ is responsible for the structural design, building physics and fire protection.
• Fire Technology Center (FTZ), Göttingen.
  CSZ is responsible for the planning of structural design and building physics, including thermal insulation, building and room acoustics, as well as energy consulting. DGNB Gold certification is being sought for the new building.

In close cooperation with building owners, authorities and users, we develop customized, approvable fire protection solutions that guarantee the highest safety standards – safe, economical and future-oriented.

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.
