Wilhelma
Stuttgart: Historical brick wall rehabilitated
Up to this day, Wilhelma in Stuttgart
is Germany's only combined zoological and botanical garden. Already
since 1851, its covered walk connects the historical buildings in
the Moorish Garden of the park. Because the weather caused the masonry
trouble, the covered walk was rehabilitated with special building
materials of epasit in 2011.
Along the covered walk, visitors can walk dry shod in all weathers
round the border of the garden located in the heart of the park
area of 30 hectares. It lies between the Moorish Villa and today's
Aquarium. With its columns, decorated ceilings and ornaments, the
walk in the middle of the Moorish Garden is a decoration itself,
which has, however, been affected by the weather and the ravages
of time. With regard to its rehabilitation, the responsible heritage
agency considered, first of all, the proposal made by epasit and
approved the building project. The building expert Daniel Schlichenmaier
monitored and documented the proper waterpoofing of the historical
brick masonry.
Preparing measures
The area in contact with the ground of the
approximately 40 m long brick wall has been stripped up to the foundation
so that, in a first step, the undermined cementous waterpoofing
as well as loose parts, separation layers and dust could be completely
removed. The fabricators of the company BAL Bautenschutz & Malerfachbetrieb,
Stuttgart, scratched loose joints free up to a depth of approx.
2 cm. Subsequently, they carefully cleaned the whole brick masonry
in order to create a stable and clean underground.
The covered walk is sealed
As a preparation for the plaster impermeable to presswater, the
WTA certified bonding coarse plaster MineralSanoPro hb has been
roughcast in a fully covering way up to a height of approx. 30 cm
above the upper edge of the ground. Subsequently, the surface was
plastered with the matching sealing and waterproof plaster in a
film thickness of 15 mm. After drying-out, the surface was coated
in two working cycles with the flexible, two-component sealing slurry
MineralDicht flex. In conclusion, a wear-resisting layer against
damages has been applied as well as a drainage laid, before the
cavity along the wall was filled up correctly.
Beauty corrections intended
The proposal of rehabilitation comprises moreover
the repair of the masonry in the visible area. Later, chip-offs
shall be filled up with sandstone mortar, joints which came out
shall be replenished with rehabilitation grout of a matching colour
and the whole wall shall be treated with a special waterproofing
agent.
From pleasure place to the
most popular
destination of Stuttgart
Every year Wilhelma in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt
attracts more than two million small and big visitors. In the middle
of the 19th century, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg originally
built the park as a summer residence in the Moorish style. Gradually,
it has been completed by an orangery, further buildings and a spacious
park. Today, Wilhelma is owned by Baden-Württemberg. During
the Second World War, the park was seriously damaged. Later, its
then director had the idea to make it more attractive by adding
animals to it. At the beginning of the 60ies its expansion as a
combined zoological and botanical garden was approved by the Landtag.
Numerous conversions and annexes followed. Today, about 9,000 animals
of more than 1,000 species and more than 6,000 species of plants
live in Wilhelma.
