The former Panorama restaurant , now also called Hyparschale Schwerin , in the Weststadt , Johannes-Brahms-Straße 65 / Wittenburger Straße , is a listed building in Schwerin .

The shell structure was designed by the civil engineer Ulrich Müther and the architect Georg Schneider. The rotunda is one of the historically significant buildings in the GDR.

history

The two-storey structure was built from 1969 to 1972 on a small hill, which gives you a panoramic view of the area. It was planned as a restaurant for the sports and congress hall and for the Lambrechtsgrund sports forum and is located across from Wittenburger Straße.
The former restaurant initially had around 210 seats, 138 restaurant and 68 terrace seats, 30 of them on the ground floor.

In the summer of 1993 a tenant took over the restaurant as a Chinese restaurant. The successor gave the restaurant the name Jade Palace , which was run until 2015.

In April 2018, the Berlin gallery owner Stephan Schrör bought the building and initially wanted to open a restaurant with art exhibitions and music events there. The building authorities only wanted to approve this extension with a change of use application and the corresponding modifications. Ultimately, the owner limited himself to the use of exhibitions with occasional concerts and some theater.

construction

The distinctive roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid shell ( hypar shell or HP shell ). It consists of a regularly double-curved surface and is self-supporting. The curved prestressed concrete roof is designed here as a square and measures 20 × 20 meters. The roof is only 6.3 cm thick. This construction made of prestressed concrete saves material compared to other roof structures and the roof curvature increases the buckling and bending stiffness .

The cellar and the round ground floor with brick exterior walls stand on a concrete foundation, the upper floor is surrounded by a terrace on the south side. A large part of the cylindrical facade originally consisted of windows that were subsequently covered in the upper area. The roof arches over it and is pulled by two bundles of tension cables on the side. These two tension cable strands are held in a stable position by a vertical reinforced concrete pillar underneath. For further stabilization, the two tension cable anchors are connected underground.

The Kosmos restaurant, built in 1969 in Rostock-Südstadt as a 2-storey cylinder building with a square Hypar roof shell, was the model for the Schwerin version.
