Demolition in Spandau
Spandau is Berlin's westernmost district, located at the confluence of the Spree and Havel rivers. The district combines a medieval old town around the Spandau Citadel with extensive commercial and industrial areas along the Siemens campus and Heerstraße. Building stock ranges from historic half-timbered houses to post-war residential estates and large industrial warehouses.
Demolition in Spandau presents unique challenges due to contaminated land on former industrial sites, particularly from the historical arms industry. Projects often require ordnance clearance and soil remediation. In the historic old town, many buildings are heritage-protected, requiring selective gutting rather than full demolition.
Lula Bau has successfully completed numerous projects in Spandau, including the demolition of a 2,500 sqm industrial hall in the Siemensstadt area and the gutting of several commercial units on Brunsbütteler Damm.
