When a commemorative coin was issued in 1990, shortly before the fall of the GDR and showing the Magdeburg Hyparschale, no one knew that this remarkable building would have to be closed just seven years later because of danger of collapse. It fared like many dilapidated buildings of the vanished country, but fortunately better than some of its siblings. The large restaurant “Ahornblatt” in Berlin’s Gertraudenstra\u00dfe, for example, was demolished despite the protection of historical monuments and the outrage of the local population. This outcome was only narrowly avoided in Magdeburg. Therefore, after no investor could be found, many rescuers from politics, civil society, architecture chairs and the creative industry set out to preserve the solitaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-purpose hall, which was part of an ensemble of exhibition buildings and is the largest hypershell still in existence, was built in 1969 according to a design by Ulrich M\u00fcther, famous not only in Eastern Germany for spectacular roof constructions. The Magdeburg version also does without supporting pillars and the shell roof, formed by four double-curved surfaces called hyperbolic paraboloids, seems to float above the translucent surfaces. In former times, it was enthusiastically used for trade fairs, concerts and other events, and that is exactly what it should be able to do again. With a flexible interior construction of inserted gallery levels and accessible bridges, it will, if everything works out, become again a shining pearl of the architectural concept “Neues Bauen” in Magdeburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
