Restoration works

The restoration / renovation of historical - often listed - buildings is particularly close to our hearts. We are specialized in these topics and are happy to contribute our know-how already from the planning stage.

Redevelopment Augustus Bridge Dresden

View of the Augustus Bridge in Dresden, Germany, which spans the River Elbe. On the left is the impressive architecture of Dresden Cathedral, which was built using materials from Steinbruch Sachsen. In the background is a clear sky with a few clouds. Some greenery can be seen in the foreground.

From 2017 to 2021, we were involved in the extensive renovation work on the bridge, which was carried out in accordance with the preservation order. We reconditioned old stones and produced and installed new, solid blocks. The pulpits and undersides of the bridge presented a particular challenge, as work was partly carried out from the ship, including various lifting devices.
