high-quality statement
There was one main reason for choosing Keravette brick slips from Ströher, as they had actually already decided in favour of another manufacturer. However, none of them had pointed out the cost-intensive trowel grouting of their product. Ströher was able to win the contract thanks to the slurryability despite the structure of the brick slip and customised application advice. As is the case everywhere in cities with a strong economy and attractive infrastructure, living space is also becoming scarce in Karlsruhe. Building density is being optimised. Areas are being utilised to the maximum. Especially in the prime locations close to the city centre. A special kind of microcosm has been created on this huge area of the disused Karlsruhe goods station. Göbelbecker Bauträger GmbH alone has built over 15,000 rental, owner-occupied and student flats on six of the 26 construction sites of the ‘Citypark’. In addition, there are over 10,000 square metres of office and commercial space.

‘From daycare centres to assisted living - we attach great importance to a healthy mix of different types of housing,’ explains Göbelbecker Citypark project developer Paul Heinze. Building plot 19 was to become the upmarket residential variant. And this was to be recognisable from afar. Instead of blocks of flats, cubes of villas were designed - a high-quality statement was made on the façade with brick slips and glass balustrades. Ceramic was used on the balconies and terraces instead of concrete. Sales representative Frank Usner also accompanied the ‘Parkvillen’ ‘after sale’ during the construction phase on site: ‘In order to optimise the 40 x 40 cm joint pattern at the end of the façades and to create a generous design, TerioTec 40 x 60 cm was cut to the appropriate size of 40 x 50 cm with very little waste.’ Usner also had to persuade the unbelieving installers on site until they dared to hammer TerioTec - especially in the 2 cm thickness - into the gravel bed with a rubber mallet just as neatly as the standard concrete slabs normally used by property developers. Ströher ceramics are not only visually attractive, but also of high quality - not only in appearance but also in function. The property developer had already noted this enthusiastically with the easy-to-lay clinker brick slips, which can be laid using a slurry, and saved a lot of money on laying them.
