The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Bau GmbH & Co. KG is a limited partnership with the City of Hamburg as limited partner and ReGe Hamburg Projekt-Realisierungsgesellschaft mbH as general partner .

The company commissioned Adamanta ( Commerzbank + Hochtief ) to build the Elbphilharmonie and is supposed to supervise the construction and coordinate it with the architects' plans.

Because of the execution of this task, the Bau KG came into criticism, the parliamentary investigation committee "Elbphilharmonie" was set up.

Supervisory board and management

The supervisory board consists of the chairman Johann C. Lindenberg , who replaced Ole von Beust's Senate Chancellery - State Councilor Volkmar Schön in 2008 , Wilhelm Friedrich Boyens , budget director Hans Hinrich Coorssen ( financial authority of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg ), lawyer Johannes Conradi ( Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer ), Eckart Kottkamp , Jens-Ulrich Maier , State Councilor Horst-Michael Pelikahn ( Department for Science and Research ) and State Councilor Nikolas Hill ( Department for Justice and Equality ), who followed State Councilor Reinhard Stuth as Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board in 2009 after his retirement.

Dieter Peters and Martin Heyne (since January 2013) are the managing directors of ReGe and Elbphilharmonie Bau KG. Hartmut Wegener was the management spokesman until September 17, 2008 .

criticism

The construction of the Elbphilharmonie is overshadowed by construction delays, increases in construction costs and quality defects.

Main actors

The following parties are involved in the construction: The investors are the IQ² investor consortium and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . The investor consortium uses the project company Adamanta GmbH & KG to handle the project, the City of Hamburg has used ReGe as the client's representative and for urban project management. The Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron and their German partners Höhler und Partner are responsible for a large part of the planning and construction supervision . The construction is carried out by Hochtief on behalf of Adamanta.

Cost increase

In the course of the planning and implementation of the project, the project costs have increased more than tenfold from originally 77 million euros in 2005 to currently 789 million euros. This contrasts with an expansion of the project from a gross floor area of 84,000 m² planned in 2003 by 43% to currently 120,000 m².

After the call for more "external expertise" and the "kicking out" of the Elbphilharmonie chief manager Hartmut Wegener in September 2008, the project is carried out at ReGe Hamburg Projekt-Realisierungsgesellschaft under the direction of Heribert Leutner (ReGe board spokesman).

In 2006 the total construction costs amounted to 241.3 million euros. Of this, 138 million euros should go to the public sector, 103 million euros to the private sector, which is carried out by the investor consortium IQ², consisting of Hochtief AG and Commerz Real AG . Including further project costs and minus donations, the budget of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg should have financed 114.3 million euros. In addition, there was a budget of 10 million euros for unforeseen construction work. This budget has already been burdened with additional claims amounting to 7 million euros due to difficulties in the post-foundation work and a new cooling system.

In the course of supplementary negotiations between ReGe Hamburg and Hochtief Construction AG in November 2008, a supplement amounting to 137 million euros was negotiated (so-called “supplement 4” ). The city's share would therefore be EUR 323 million. For this, the ReGe was criticized by Peter Tschentscher and the building expert Franz-Josef Schlapka . As a personnel consequence of the cost development, the head of the urban development company, Hartmut Wegener, was released from his duties.

According to media reports from the beginning of 2010, Hochtief AG made additional claims of around 22.4 million euros.

In November 2011, Hochtief AG temporarily stopped construction work on the project. After the Hamburg citizenship approved a reorganization of the contracts in June 2013, construction work could be resumed. It is planned that the concert hall will be completed by October 2016.

delay

Leutner explained that it was a clear contractual error in the rules of the ReGe with Hochtief and the architect that “the scheduling that the contractor has in the contract [...] was not the one that the architect has in the contract. That was one of the cardinal errors that can unfortunately be found in the original contract. ” The architect Pierre de Meuron believes that his planned work was delivered on time and in full.

In spring 2010, Hochtief presented a new schedule according to which the opening of the concert hall in HafenCity should be postponed to January 2013.

Construction defects

The construction is carried out by the Hochtief company . On May 16, 2010, the ReGe complained about “unacceptable construction defects” . The construction defects result from a test report by the architectural duo Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, who are commissioned with building supervision . Accordingly, there are safety deficiencies on load-bearing parts.

complain

On April 7, 2010, Bau KG filed a lawsuit with the Hamburg Regional Court to force the subcontractor Hochtief AG through Adamanta to undertake a “contractually guaranteed, binding schedule”. Hochtief denied responsibility for this delay.

Conversely, in April 2010 , Hochtief AG filed a lawsuit against the construction expert Schlapka, quoted in the media, in order to force him not to repeat certain statements from an interview with Spiegel online. Schlapka sticks to his allegations against HochTief.

Retained discount

Because of the construction defects asserted in May 2010, Bau KG is holding back an advance payment of five million euros, which it should normally have paid in the same month.

Committee of Inquiry

On May 5th, 2010 the Hamburg citizenship unanimously set up a parliamentary committee of inquiry into the Elbphilharmonie at the request of the SPD . The committee is to investigate the causes and backgrounds of the cost explosion in the construction of the prestigious concert hall.

The SPD financial expert Peter Tschentscher was elected chairman and the SPD deputy Rolf-Dieter Klooss became his deputy.
