Riding centre
Riesenbeck International
The Riesenbeck International Riding Centre near the Teutoburg Forest is a world-renowned and renowned facility for horse training as well as education and further training. In order to meet the increasing demands, the capacities of the international centre were expanded by two new riding halls. The impressive spans of the halls were made possible by the DERIX timber structure.

Timber structure with
large span width
The new, imposing and large indoor riding arena at the Riesenbeck International Riding Centre impresses with a span of 53 m and consists of 14 three-hinged frames that are articulated at the ridge and at the base. The 30.25 m long components were placed on 1.90 m high concrete supports with the help of two large cranes. The vertical load transfer and bracing is carried out via BSH frames, while the horizontal load transfer is carried out via three additionally braced wind bracings, which transfer the loads via round steel diagonals into the eaves walls. The riding area of this hall is 80 x 40 m and the external dimensions are 87 x 61 m – making it the largest stationary European riding hall. The second hall offers a riding area of 60 x 25 m. In addition to the riding area, both halls offer a preparation area as a covered connection and have uninsulated building shells made of clinker brickwork and translucent polycarbonate panels.

The advantages through
wood at the Riding Centre Riesenbeck
The riding halls in Riesenbeck are characterised by an impressive span, which is made possible by the excellent static properties of wood as a building material. By using a wooden supporting structure, it was possible to create spacious rooms that offer a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.
