Security in the Eckartsau hunting lodge: Latest technology for historical protection

In the impressive imperial hunting lodge Eckartsau, located in the idyllic Danube-Euen near Vienna, the Labor Strauss Group has integrated the latest technologies for fire protection. As fireworld.at was reported for this, which was installed for comprehensive protection across the entire Castle area guaranteed of 6,700 square meters. This system bundles information from a total of 341 fire detectors, quickly recognizes risks and sends out both optical and acoustic warning signals if there is a risk. The security measures also include more than 200 radio -monitored emergency lights that enable safe evacuation in an emergency.

Heritage meets Modern Safety

The castle has played a significant historical role, since Emperor Karl I spent the last winter in Austria with his family. According to the monarchy, the property of the republic was handed over and made accessible to the public. The castle is not only used for tours today, but also for various events and as a backdrop for films, such as Laborstrauss.com . The monument protection is of great importance here, and the turquoise technology of Labor Strauss was specially developed in order to protect both the historical substance and the necessary safety standards.

The challenge of integrating the latest security standards in a historical building is considerable. As Thomas Stöcklhuber, project manager at Labor Strauss, explains, an effective fire protection concept requires close cooperation between all involved, from monument conservationists to architects. The installation took place in such a way that the impressive architectural features of the castle were preserved and technology elements such as fire detectors could mostly be made invisible without impairing historical aesthetics.
