St. Johann Basilica – In-Depth Structural Inspection

Built in the 18th century, the Basilica of St. Johann in Saarbrücken is one of the region’s most significant Baroque buildings and an important part of its architectural heritage. To ensure its safety and long-term preservation, wpw carried out an in-depth structural inspection in accordance with VDI 6200.

The inspection focused on assessing structural stability, traffic and operational safety, and the durability of safety-critical components. Existing structural engineering documentation was compared with the current condition of the building, discrepancies were documented, and recommendations for necessary renovation and retrofitting measures were developed on this basis.

With its extensive expertise in structural engineering, wpw combines a responsible approach to historic buildings with forward-looking planning to support the long-term preservation of valuable structures.
