Public buildings
Doors for museums, concert halls and government agencies
For museums, concert halls and other public buildings, interior design is essential to the visitor experience. And while the focus in museums is on security and demarcation, concert halls require effective noise control.
MHP ARENA, STUTTGART
MHP Arena, Stuttgart
Tailor-made doors for a stadium in a class of its own
The MHP Arena in Stuttgart, home of VfB Stuttgart, was equipped with 115 custom-made neuform door elements in the interior of the main stand in 2023/2024. These doors meet the highest requirements for fire and smoke protection as well as escape route safety. Among other things, solid wood doors with sound insulation, framed doors with generous light cut-outs, damp-proof doors for sanitary areas, fire and smoke protection doors with increased door thickness and full panic door elements in accordance with DIN EN 1125 were used.
The doors are combined with wooden and steel frames that offer both stability and design flexibility. The matt HPL surfaces blend harmoniously into the surroundings and are based on the club colors of the stadium. In the Porsche Tunnel Club, an exclusive area deep in the main stand, door elements with metal or ceramic surfaces ensure security, discretion and a high-quality ambience.
By fitting out the MHP Arena, one of the most modern stadiums in Europe, neuformtür has once again demonstrated its expertise in the implementation of complex and demanding projects.

Ernst Abbe Library, Jena
Ernst Abbe Library, Jena
A modern place for culture and knowledge
In the heart of Jena, on Engelplatz, the new library combines culture, knowledge and architecture. Together with the elements pictured, around 50 neuform door elements are used, including, for example, damp-proof doors, soundproof doors up to class 3, T30 fire doors, doors with side panels and fixed glazing that separates the area between the library and citizen services.
There is a Helene Petrenz room in the library, named after the library's first librarian. Helene Petrenz campaigned for the promotion of the public reading room at the end of the 19th century and played a key role in shaping the city's library landscape. In the fourth picture you can see the entrance to the hall - flanked by an impressive, oversized, ceiling-high door element with a height of approx. 3.60 m.

DLRG TRAINING AND RESCUE STATION, ULM
DLRG training and rescue station, Ulm
Reliable doors for an important operations building
In the DLRG water rescue center in Ulm, our door elements provide the right mix of functionality and style. A total of around 20 doors were installed, which are specially tailored to the different requirements of the building. These include robust wet room doors with an HPL surface, which are perfect for use in damp and wet environments, as well as high-quality oak veneer doors, which impress with their elegant appearance and semi-matt lacquered surface. The wooden block frames in this project are designed to reliably support areas subject to heavy use. With their simple oak veneer, they fit unobtrusively into the overall appearance of the building, but offer the necessary stability to withstand daily use without any problems.
The DLRG center serves as a building for the active water rescue service, club work as well as for training and educational measures. This calls for reliable doors that can withstand the daily demands - and this is exactly what our products offer.

SCHWAKETENBAD, KONSTANZ
Schwaketenbad, Constance, Germany
Largest sports and family pool on Bodensee Constance
The extensive bathing area extends over 10,000 m². The requirement for the installed doors was, of course, that they had to withstand the highest loads from water and steam.
Almost 30 neuform door sets suitable for damp and wet rooms were installed in the building. In addition, some of the door sets have features such as sound insulation suitability (up to 42 dB), an above-average door leaf thickness of 70 mm and climate class compliance (up to class 2), and the entire bathroom was built to be barrier-free. The new construction was more than worth it, there is something suitable for everyone.

Tauberphilharmonie, Weikersheim
Tauberphilharmonie, Weikersheim
Rethinking culture
In the Philharmonic Hall, fire protection and sound insulation are combined with a filigree look. Single and double leaf door sets were manufactured in oversize. The real wood surface was coordinated with the wall acoustic cladding and blends in perfectly with the overall appearance of the building complex. Panic push bars are installed in the large halls so that the door can be opened quickly in case of emergency. On the outside, there are some shell handle electric strikes, which blend into the door leaf without protruding and therefore offer a discreet, smooth-looking surface.
The entire building was built barrier-free and the parameters of "sound" and "tone" were of decisive importance.
Since its opening, numerous concerts, cabarets, comedies and festivals have been held and the Philharmonie has shone in all its glory.

Jewel in the heart of the „Schiller city“
The Marbach town hall is housed in a partially listed building complex around the former „Pfundhaus”. Old and new form a harmonious combination here and are connected by a glass access joint.
Numerous door sets and glazings from neuform blend into the new building in a high-contrast manner and create optimum conditions for all requirements. The floor frame elements, consisting of fire and acoustic doors with a Cherry wood veneered surface, among other things, have been designed to meet a wide range of requirements and, despite their diverse functions, create a harmonious overall appearance.

CNIS Fire department, LUXEMBOURG
CNIS Fire department, Luxembourg
One of the largest and most modern fire stations in the world
The CNIS houses the fire protection and rescue center, the Grand Ducal Rescue Corps, the emergency call center and the National Fire and Rescue School with the associated guest rooms as well as training and exercise facilities. Previously, these units were spread throughout the city. The order comprised a total of 550 doors and frames, which now meet a wide range of fire and civil protection requirements. Over 150 neuform door sets were installed as fire protection doors with rating 30 and 90 minutes, with and without smoke protection. Thanks to the diverse frame portfolio, visually uniform shapes were achieved throughout the building despite the numerous different installation situations. The deliberate visual contrasts between the door leaf surface (HPL volcano black) and the door leaf edge (Oak inlay) round off the concept and serve the minimalist overall design of the large-scale project.

Versatile educational institution
The secluded location in a charming landscape and the structural design of Haus Steinheim provide the ideal setting for successful educational work. Spacious rooms with modern media offer the best conditions for successful educational events.

And in each case in the optimum design for the intended use: from the spacious corridor door with fire and smoke protection properties to the discreet room door with sound insulation.

STADTARCHIV, KÖLN (EN)
Cologne City Archive
Historical Archive of the City of Cologne & Rhenish Picture Archive
Sunken treasures – the City Archive in Cologne, which collapsed 13 years ago, could well be placed in this category. Construction work on the underground caused the collapse of the Historical Archive in the city on the Rhine in 2009. No one knew which treasures would be lost forever and what might still be salvageable. In September 2021, the "memory of the city" was reopened to the public and is considered Europe's most modern municipal archive. A total of 177 neuform doors of high material quality and visually adapted to the room statements grant or prevent access to Cologne's art treasures and archival documents from over 1,000 years of history and take into account the strictest conservational requirements.

ELBPHILHARMONIE, HAMBURG (EN)
Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg
Perfect harmony
Sound-insulation doors should keep the right sounds in, and the wrong sounds out. That is exactly why Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie is fitted with high-quality doors from neuform. To guarantee excellent acoustics in studios and rehearsal rooms, the city’s new cultural symbol was equipped with oversize single- and double-leaf doors with the highest class of sound insulation. For even greater noise control, the door leaves were also extra thick . Moreover, to comply with all applicable safety regulations, the doors were made to T30 and T90 fire resistance standards.
