- Abstract
The Berus television tower in Überherrn – a building archaeology on a high modernism building The knowledge of planning and realization on the basis of building archaeology represents a benefit in the research field of the construction history for concrete structures of the high modernism. It also forms the basis for sensitive and conservation‐oriented maintenance; in particular, the identification of concrete surfaces at the time of construction or later renovation measures can be determined in this way. Built in 1954, the expressionist‐looking transmission tower of the Berus transmitter in Überherrn is one of the first television towers in Germany. The Béton brut surface of the three concrete pillars with their formwork board imprints have been preserved in large parts. As part of the building archaeology, new high‐precision survey methods were used to create a detailed survey of the building, which was analyzed from various points of view and compared with the craftsmanship techniques used at the time of construction, also with a view to the question of what conclusions can be made if the building itself is considered as a source. In summary, the article provides a comprehensive view of the construction and construction history of a building which, together with the transmitter hall, which has been awarded the title "Historic Landmark of German Engineering", forms a successful overall architectural and engineering composition. At the same time, the described approaches and methods are intended for a transfer and future use on comparable concrete structures.
