- Abstract
A new pipe organ for the Basilica of Constantine in Trier - minimized construction in the UNESCO world heritage site It has been an unusual task for an international architectural design competition: A gigantic pipe organ with a total volume of about 450 m3 and 32 tons self-weight should be integrated as inconspicuously as possible into the monumental structure of the Basilica of Constantine in Trier, Germany being an UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Furthermore the constructional interventions in the historic building conditions should be as small as possible. The design of the architects Auer Weber from Stuttgart in cooperation with Knippers Helbig Advanced Engineering impresses with the reduction to an absolute minimum. The structure, which come along without additional ornaments is in almost self-evident harmony with the impressive listed church space. The dead-load of the new pipe organ and the steel supporting framework is supported by the historical building structure only.
