Grandhotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski, Dresden, Germany

Built between 1707 and 1711, and completely destroyed by fire in 1945, this baroque palace is now the site of a luxury hotel. During construction of a 4-storey underground garage, the existing south façade, with a total weight of approx. 1,000 t, had to be supported 18 m above the foundation level. GEWI ^® Bars with various diameters were used as tensioning and securing members. For the deep foundation of the western wing of the palace, GEWI ^® Piles were drilled through the old cellar. The bond length of the piles is between 7 and 12m.
