Eiermann Campus Building (2016)

The Eiermann-Campus (also IBM-Areal , IBM-Campus , Carré 5 or Garden Campus Vaihingen ) was an office building complex in Stuttgart-Vaihingen used from 1972 to the end of 2009 by the company IBM Deutschland GmbH as head office . Most of the buildings were declared a cultural monument as an outstanding example of post-war modernism .

location

The buildings with the address Pascalstraße 100 are located on the northwestern edge of the Stuttgart-Vaihingen district, immediately adjacent to the Stuttgart motorway junction . The main access to the site is via a separate driveway that bridges Pascalstrasse. The site is currently not open to the public, but will be opened by the owner on the occasion of events, such as the Open Monument Day .

history

In 1965, the architect Egon Eiermann received the order from IBM Deutschland GmbH to create a planning study for a new building for the headquarters in Sindelfingen . The site of the former plant in Böblingen was examined. Egon Eiermann preferred a building solution, alternatively he suggested a low-rise solution. However, due to the increased production requirements, the plans were not pursued any further. Instead, IBM Deutschland GmbH acquired the area in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. Egon Eiermann was awarded the contract for the implementation planning , which he began on February 2, 1967. Construction began on October 14, 1968. The building was moved into on March 23, 1972. In the first phase of construction, three office buildings and a cafeteria were built, which were connected to one another with transitional buildings. An expansion to a total of five office buildings was already considered in the planning. The costs for the new building without the acquisition of the property were given as 79.3 million DM. After Egon Eiermann's death in 1970, the architects Heinz Kuhlmann, Imre Biró, László Biró and Hans-Peter Wieland continued the building project. Egon Eiermann was posthumously awarded the Hugo Häring Prize in 1974 and the Paul Bonatz Prize in 1975. The expansion by the fourth office building with the connection to one of the existing buildings was carried out from 1983 to 1984 by the architects Kammerer und Belz, whereby the design was adapted to the existing buildings. The possible fifth building was not realized. During the entire period of use, renovations and modernizations took place, especially in the interior. An asbestos removal of the interior and the fire protection coatings of all buildings from 1988 to 1992 led to changes, in particular to the lighting concept and the design of the exterior facade. The canteen was extensively renovated in 2000 and the interior design changed. At the same time, the inner courtyard of a pavilion, which until then had housed the data center , was given a glass roof and a cafeteria was installed.

IBM Deutschland GmbH sold the area in 2000 to Hamburgische Immobilienhandlung, which in turn resold the area to the fund company CBRE Investors in 2007 after IBM announced that it would cancel the lease at the end of 2009 . In November 2009, as announced, IBM moved from the buildings to the new headquarters in Ehningen . Despite intensive efforts to market the area under the name “Carré 5”, a revitalization failed. The project companies of the investor in 2011 announced the bankruptcy of. The insolvency administrator applied for demolition in 2013 due to the deteriorating condition of the buildings. Thereupon the Lord Mayor of the City of Stuttgart called an "Eiermann Colloquium" to protect the cultural monument from further deterioration and to put it into a new use. As a result, it was stated that further development of the area should be made possible in order to enable the existing buildings to be preserved. Despite all efforts to re-market it, damage to the buildings became increasingly visible. Due to the high renovation costs, a contemplated temporary use as an initial reception center for refugees was rejected.

In October 2015, the investor Gerchgroup bought the entire area. Despite the rejection of the investor's plans by the responsible district advisory board, the Stuttgart city council passed the resolution for a new development plan in April 2016 . This allows a considerable densification under the condition of receipt of the four pavilion Egon Eiermann. Measures for citizen participation and an urban planning ideas competition are part of the planning of the project known as the “Garden Campus Vaihingen”. The Gerchgroup project was taken over by the SSN Group, which has merged into Consus Real Estate . The project name is now VAI Campus.

Building description

The building ensemble owes its name "Eiermann-Campus" to the relatively flat pavilion construction with inner courtyards , which takes into account the features of the 195,000 m² property. The three listed office buildings by Egon Eiermann are square with the dimensions 60 by 60 meters (outside) and 32 by 32 meters (inside) and have connecting structures. The first version of the cafeteria in the flat fourth pavilion offered 850 seats. In the first stage of expansion, the area was designed for 1,500 workplaces, with around 22,200 m² of pure office space. The construction of the building is based on a steel frame with a reinforced concrete base and clinker cladding. The fourth office building, built later, was externally matched to the existing buildings, but has been increased by one storey.
