| Abstract: | Full‐scale renovation for the platform halls at Frankfurt‐am‐Main central station – A hundred‐year‐old building made from steel and glass gleams brightly again. Retaining the elegance of an engineering masterpiece dating from Germany's period of rapid industrial expansion (1870–1914), while at the same time adapting a building's function to meet the requirements of the 21st century and beyond – such a task demands approaches and solutions of a very special kind. MCE Industrietechnik Linz GmbH & Co, project leader for the Bahnsteighallen Hbf Frankfurt (M) consortium, faced up to the challenge and now after four years of building work, believes it has done full justice to this demanding assignment. |
