Giersteinhütte Forbach's new dining establishment is gaining traction - here are the particulars regarding the eatery on the Giersteinen.

In a recent development, the Giersteinhütte building project has secured a municipal agreement, marking a significant step forward in its construction. The project group, led by architect Marco Schmeiser, presented the final building plan on behalf of Markus Hürst.

The new building, located behind two elevations, will be less visible, blending harmoniously with the landscape. The maximum ridge height of the building, according to the plan, is eight meters, and the maximum eave height is four metres. However, Hürst has specified that the eave height will be 3.84 metres and the ridge height will be 6.81 metres to ensure a harmonious blend with the surrounding environment.

The dining room of the Giersteinhütte will measure a spacious 180 square metres. On the ground floor, there will be a dining room, bar, and kitchen. Parts of the ground floor will be barely visible behind the existing earth mound. The rooms are designed to be open with large window areas, offering a view towards Forbach or Bermersbach.

The basement will house guest toilets, two storage rooms, a technical room, staff social room, and their WCs. The cellar, built in solid construction, will reuse the soil excavated for the cellar in the construction of the car park.

The building plan includes provisions for 20 parking spaces, including spaces for people with disabilities and staff. The redesigning of the parking lots at Giersteinhütte aims to minimise the impact on the landscape by integrating natural materials and vegetation, reducing impervious surfaces, and incorporating measures such as permeable paving and green buffers to blend the parking area harmoniously into the surrounding environment.

The entire building should not appear too massive and should not be a disturbance in the landscape. The rooms are designed to be open at the top to keep everything light and airy. The project team is committed to ensuring that the Giersteinhütte is a welcome addition to the landscape, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing space for all to enjoy.
