Fire station
in Reinbek

The new fire station building in Reinbek is a firesafe fire station made of wood. This showcase project is a prime example of the successful collaboration between architects, master carpenters and engineers. It shows that it is an outdated prejudice not to build with wood for fire safety reasons.

Precision and safety in wood
in the Reinbek fire station

On an area of 3,189 m2, the new fire station offers twelve parking spaces for the fire service vehicles, a repair workshop, a tool hall, a wash hall, storage and social rooms, administrative offices and a spacious area for the youth fire brigade and breathing apparatus. The building impresses visually with a generous sense of space with light-coloured walls and ceilings.

The very precise planning of the fire station allowed only minimal tolerances in the joinery of the timber components. This is precisely where the DERIX Group’s state-of-the-art, automated CNC joinery technology paid off: All geometric specifications from the CAD are transferred 1:1 to the component. This ensures the prefabrication accuracy of the elements. The components were produced just in time and arrived at the construction site ready bound and on schedule. For the realisation of visible timber surfaces, the resilient room closure of the elements was fully confirmed by experts in the event of fire.

The early and close cooperation of all those involved in the project and their good understanding of timber construction made a decisive contribution to the smooth implementation and timely completion of the construction project.

Prizes & Awards
for the Reinbek fire station

Timber construction prize
Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg 2024

The Reinbek fire station was awarded the Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg 2024 timber construction prize. The building impressed the jury with its innovative timber construction method. Wood was chosen as the building material for this building due to its ecological and structural advantages.

The advantages of wood
in the Reinbek fire station

The use of wood as a building material for the construction of the Reinbek fire station has numerous positive effects. For example, 600 tonnes of CO2 were bound in the wood used here in the long term, thereby reducing the burden on the atmosphere. In addition to the positive sustainability aspects and the appealing aesthetics of the timber surfaces, the new Reinbek fire station also has impressive economic advantages: The fast and precise timber construction method shortened the construction time on site enormously, as the prefabricated timber components only had to be assembled on site.

Customised glulam

Our glued laminated timber (glulam) can be used to build customised structures, as we can produce the components in almost any shape and size – entirely according to your wishes. The kiln-dried timber boards are joined together by finger-jointing to form long slats. Discover our wide range of glulam.

Solid and versatile element construction

Whether roof, ceiling or wall – X-LAM can be used in a variety of ways. Our X-LAM element construction gives you great freedom in building design. The flexible cross-laminated timber elements are customised for you and are quick and easy to assemble.
