The Reimlingen Monastery near Nördlingen, Bavaria, exemplifies how the serial addition of stories to existing buildings can serve as an innovative instrument for sustainable local development. On the site of a former monastery, the additional stories built in wood not only provided urgently needed housing space; they are also a respectful further development of the historic building structure. Florian Eitel, sales manager at Schlosser Holzbau, will speak about the project at the International Timber Construction Conference.
