Innovative disaster control center in Ludwigsburg - sustainable, efficient, forward-looking.
Our concept for the disaster control center in Ludwigsburg combines maximum functionality with sustainable design. It enables smooth processes and creates an efficient and socially acceptable working environment.
Project dataEfficientbuilding structure with a sustainable impact
The vehicle hall functions as a practical volume with direct access to Altachstrasse, minimizes noise emissions and protects the areas behind it. The social wing not only offers functional workspaces, but also storage areas and retreat areas. The administration and ILS (integrated control center) are divided into two storeys, which allows for a striking but restrained architecture.

Optimized development and communication
The main access is along Altachstrasse with separate entrances for different functional areas. The main entrance with forecourt leads to the administration, while further entrances provide direct access to the multifunctional room, kitchen, technical and storage rooms. A central stairwell and emergency exits ensure an efficient vertical connection.
The first floor is dominated by the spacious multifunctional space, supplemented by catering facilities and changing areas. The upper floors contain work and communal areas, quiet zones and the central control room.

Sustainability and ecological responsibility
The vehicle hall combines innovative construction with environmentally conscious design. A timber composite structure forms the load-bearing structure, while the central core is made of concrete with recycled aggregate. The façade combines privacy and sun protection using vertical aluminum rods and ensures a clear, playful look.
A "carbon capture wall" on the south façade, supplemented by a "green wall" in the perimeter area, helps to reduce the carbon footprint. Surface sealing was minimized in order to promote natural greenery, and rainwater is integrated into the ecological concept.

A flagship project for functionality and architecture
Our disaster control center in Ludwigsburg is a pioneering example of sustainable infrastructure. It combines functionality, ecological responsibility and architectural quality - and thus sets new standards for public buildings.
