In the fall of 2022, the groundbreaking ceremony for the “Kita Kupferstein” Daycare Centre in Dingolfing/Germany marked the beginning of an exciting building project for Diakonie Landshut. The new Daycare Centre will be innovative in every way, in particular, in terms of size, care concept and construction.

The new Daycare Centre was designed generously with five group rooms and can, if needed, be extended at a later date. The commissioned company Wagner Architekten chose an all-timber construction method for the new Daycare Centre.

Most of the material was sourced from the local forests, with larch being used on the facade and silver fir for the interior. With its wavy, green roof, the building perfectly blends into its surroundings and becomes one with nature, with the generous exterior picking up the building's roof shape in its hilly landscape. The approx. 130 m³ of glued-laminated timber were produced at the HASSLACHER Group's Kleinheubach location, CNC-machined and delivered. The biggest challenge lay in the tight radii of the curved special components made from exposed spruce. Due to these tight radii, lamellas with a thickness of under 10 mm had to be used in places. To save on costs, curved components only exposed to low structural stress were milled from straight glued-laminated timber.

The parking lots are also focusing on the sustainability concept as they will be covered with solar panels in the future.
