The Rowing Center Blasewitz (today: Water Sports Center Blasewitz ) is a shell construction built from 1970 to 1972 in Dresden - Blasewitz on the banks of the Elbe according to the plans of civil engineer Ulrich Müther . The characteristic roof surface consists of four hyperbolic parabolic shells that have been tilted downwards in order to get more daylight into the building. After renovation, the building has been a listed building since 2008.

Other well-known buildings by Muthers with hyperbolic parabolic shells are the Ahornblatt in Berlin, the Café Seerose in Potsdam and the Teepott in Rostock.

The building ensemble of the Dresden rowing center was executed by the architectural office Schönrock und Kollektiv . Ingo Schönrock was a student colleague and friend of von Müther who had entrusted him with the construction of some of his buildings. The complex consists of this sports hall , social buildings and a boathouse on the banks of the Elbe . The sports hall is a square shell construction with a roof structure made of steel ropes and only a 6 cm thick concrete slab, which is self-supporting and of four hyperbolic - paraboloidal roof shells ( Hyparschalen ) is composed. This covers an area of ​​36 × 36 m.

The construction principle of the sports hall in Dresden-Blasewitz is based on the single-shell restaurant Ostseeperle in Glowe on Rügen . The same building type with four Hypar shells correspond to the multi-purpose hall in Rostock- Lütten Klein , the town hall in Neubrandenburg and the Hypar shell in Magdeburg , each with different roof pitches and sizes.

Redevelopment

The August flood of 2002 also caused water damage to the foundations and base of the Blasewitz rowing center. The reconstruction aid fund flood of the federal and state governments contributed 770,000 euros to the renovation costs amounting to 1.2 million euros, the rest was made up of the capital's own resources. After an architecture competition, the building was renovated from 2002 to 2006 by the engineering office Prof. Rühle, Jentzsch und Partner and the architecture office see architects from Dresden.

Originally that was steel - glass - facade with the profile glass Copilit dressed and was during the renovation with a modern solar control glass replaced in large-scale and color-neutral windows. In 2008, the State Office for Monument Preservation Saxony placed the building under monument protection "because it has special properties that make it valuable to the community."

A delegation from the Magdeburg Society for Economic Services (GWM) visited the Blasewitz rowing center in July 2011 to get an idea of ​​its renovation. The Magdeburg Hypar shell is of the same type and is also located on the banks of the Elbe. Due to a lack of users and investments, the Hypar shell threatened to deteriorate.

In spring 2018, the roof, which had become leaky, was given a completely new insulation layer.

use

The sports center was a performance center for rowing and was only used by the rowers and canoeists of the SC Einheit Dresden during the GDR . At that time, the building contained four canoe pools, a figure eight row simulation pool, a small sports hall as well as weight rooms and a sanitary area with a sauna.

After the fall of the Wall, other sports clubs were added: the Kanu Club Dresden e. V., Boxring Dresden 1994 e. V., the Judoclub Arashi Dresden e. V., the sea sports club "Hart am Wind" e. V. and the German Life Saving Society .

Instead of the figure eight oar simulation pool, a modern ball game hall was created. It is surrounded by smaller strength and training rooms for canoeists, boxers and judokas. 800 athletes train in the water sports center, including the former junior world champion in canoe racing, Martin Roßdeutscher. Other well-known canoeists are Steffi Kriegerstein and Tom Liebscher from Dresden .
