- Title
Patch repair leaves architectural integrity: The Beethoven hall of the Stuttgart Liederhalle.

- Abstract
Present standards for concrete repair suggest not to limit remedial work to isolated damage spots, but advocate overall preventive measures. The common solution to apply a protective coat over the full surface of fair faced concrete facades in distress is exactly what would have destroyed the unique architectural character of the Liederhalle. The renovation of the facades of this remarkable postwar building in Stuttgart, Germany, is exemplary for careful repair of textured concrete though -or even because- the technical standards for concrete repair were not strictly met.
