Germany – Load-bearing structure design services – Neuordnungskonzept evang.-luth. Lätare-Areals, München- Fachplanung Tragwerksplanung

The Evangelical Lutheran deanery district of Munich intends to develop a reorganization concept for the area of the Lätarekirche in Munich Neuperlach. The ensemble from the years 1969-71 with characteristic brick facades consists of a church, parsonage, community house, and a house for children and is grouped around a common courtyard. The church building and most of the outdoor facilities are protected monuments. While the space requirements of the parish are decreasing significantly, additional actors for an expanded social program from the fields of education, culture, and health are to be integrated to create a diverse center with social uses. The house for children is not part of the measure to be implemented and there is no order promise.

To optimize the planning, the contracting authority has conducted a realization competition. The winners of the office Steimle Architekten GmbH Stuttgart together with lohrer.hochrein Landschaftsarchitekten Munich, awarded with the 1st prize, have been commissioned with the planning task. As information, the competition entry is included with the tender documents.

The existing parsonage is to be partially demolished, according to the current state of knowledge, and extended to the west by a new building in hybrid timber construction with an underground garage (future use Christophorus Centre). The stock of the parsonage as well as the existing church (future use multifunctional event room) and the community house (future use heilpädagogische day care centre) are to be renovated and restructured for the intended uses. In the course of the renovation, the building services equipment will be completely replaced. The contracting authority places particular emphasis on the cost-effectiveness of the project. The target for the extension is a cost-optimized type of construction with rational and economical floor plans. The extension should allow for economically justifiable production costs through construction and material selection and ensure low maintenance costs in the long term, particularly through the use of durable and low-maintenance materials.

Energetically, the client aims for an overall concept of architecture and energy efficiency, which first examines the exploitation of passive measures (LowTech principles) before the use of active measures. In general, the use of local, renewable energies (e.g. PV system) is aimed at, which, in conjunction with robust building services equipment, ensures a low energy demand and low building maintenance through economical energy use. The existing buildings are connected to the district heating.

According to the current state of knowledge, the Evangelical Lutheran deanary district estimates total production costs of approximately 21.79 million € (cost group 300 + 400, net). The client is obligated to provide its services – in particular to plan them – in such a way that the total budget for its services can be adhered to (cost ceiling). The total budget and the cost ceiling applicable to the contractor result from the church-supervisory approved overall planning including cost calculation without VAT. The measure is publicly subsidized (requirement of a proof of use).

After a joint planning phase (Lph 1-3), the individual objects will be handed over to the respective actors (former church and community house: Evangelical Lutheran deanery district Munich; former parsonage with extension: Christophorus Hospiz Verein e. V.) and there will be a change of client.
