Topping-out ceremony for the new building: Broken pieces of glass bring good luck!

Another milestone in the construction of our new building: In the presence of many invited guests, carpenter Benjamin Gudde recited the traditional topping-out speech. The shot glass, thrown from the top of the scaffolding to conclude the ceremony, shattered into pieces on the ground—a sign that the next stages of construction would proceed under a favorable omen. The atmosphere was also festive: everyone was in good spirits thanks to the sunny weather and musical accompaniment by Tom Herfert on the saxophone and Fynn Konnertz on the electric guitar. During the celebration, architect Thomas Oesterle took the opportunity to guide numerous interested guests on a tour of the new building and through its individual rooms.
