Opposite the historical centre of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck in northern Germany a first class hotel has been built 1992 on the banks of the Trave river. By building another storey on top of the hotel high value offices with a total space of 3,642 m² have been added.
Sellhorn acted as project manager for the investor. Main task was the control of quality, costs and program.

As the hotel continued to provide services during construction (only 3 months closure allowed), extensive coordination was essential.

Sellhorn had also proofed the structural integrity of the existing structure to support the additional floor. Several structural members required strengthening due to higher horizontal wind loads.
