Nüssli Schweiz AG, based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea, has celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the first eight-court sports hall built in Europe in the German town of Monheim am Rhein. According to a press release, the topping-out crown was erected on 26 February 2024. Nüssli was awarded the general contract for the construction of the sports centre in November 2022. construction began in 2023 and the building, which has two levels with four gyms each, is due to be handed over to sports operations after the 2024 summer holidays.
“The pace is impressive. In fact, we are still so close to the schedule for this major construction project, which was ambitious from the outset, that we will probably be able to put the hall into operation as early as October,” Daniel Zimmermann, Mayor of Monheim, is quoted as saying in the press release. “You won’t even be able to tell from the outside that Europe’s largest sports hall is being built here, because we’re also going inside the site for the construction.”
According to the company, the new sports facility in Monheim will have over 4,400 square metres of pure sports space in the eight halls on the basement and ground floor. Additional gymnastics rooms will be built on the upper floors. Changing rooms, technical facilities and utility rooms will be built on a further 3000 square metres. The individual halls on each floor can also be combined into large halls if required. Retractable grandstands can accommodate 500 spectators in the basement and 100 spectators on the ground floor.
An innovative steel construction and the use of prefabricated components enabled a short construction time. In addition, the high-quality building materials used – including timber components for 600 wall, ceiling, roof and façade parts – ensure a long service life, according to the press release.
