damage and repairs on the roof

The largest construction site is currently on the roof of the BBZ building. Measures urgently need to be taken here to close the roof and dry the roof insulation. Gunnar Meister explains that the drying in the 45th week should begin and that depending on the degree of moisture will take about four to six weeks. The cost of the damage is estimated on alarming 250,000 to 300,000 euros! The fire was caused by a technical defect, but whether it occurred in the area of the photovoltaic system or the ventilation system remains unclear. The opening of the district library is still uncertain and depends on the progress of the work. The loan periods for books are automatically extended until January 13, 2025 to meet users.
