Nervis Stadio Berta im Malstrom des Kommerzes

Pier Luigi Nervi, einem der innovativsten und einflussreichsten Ingenieure des 20. Jahrhunderts, verdanken wir den überaus eleganten Entwurf für das zu Beginn der 1930er Jahre in Florenz errichtete Stadion Berta. Mittlerweile wurde an dem Stadion immer wieder gebaut und verändert, um es den sich wandelnden Bedürfnissen des Entertainmentzeitalters anzupassen. In Stadio Artemio Franchi umbenannt, ist …

Ein Standort, zwei Standorte – wohin mit der Grundschule Hessental?

Dass der aktuelle Standort der Grundschule im Schwäbisch Haller Stadtteil Hessental keineswegs mehr zeitgemäß ist, liegt seit langem auf der Hand. Geradezu sträflich hat die Stadtverwaltung in den zurückliegenden Jahren den Ausbau der daseinsvorsorglichen Infrastruktur vernachlässigt.
