A primary and secondary school is being built on Zielstattstrasse in Munich as part of the state capital of Munich's school construction offensive. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2028. ZÜBLIN Timber began the timber construction work for the project's supporting structure and façade cladding in November 2025.

More space for a modern school
The City of Munich is building a new primary and secondary school on Zielstattstrasse in the 19th district of Thalkirchen-Obersendling-Forstenried-Fürstenried-Solln in Munich as part of the school construction offensive. The elementary school will have four classes with four learning house clusters and the secondary school will have five classes with five learning house clusters. Included are a house for children, a triple sports hall, an indoor swimming pool and an underground parking garage. The project is part of the third school construction program.

Following the demolition of the old school building with sports and swimming hall and the children's house in 2024, the new building, planned by Schulz und Schulz Architekten GmbH from Leipzig, will be predominantly built with a timber structure. The basement floors, parts of the school staircases and the majority of the sports and swimming halls, on the other hand, will be built in solid reinforced concrete. This will create around 8,300 m² of usable space. All of the buildings, which are up to around 20 meters high, will be clad in wood. Some of the facades are to be greened.

Leno® cross laminated timber from ZÜBLIN Timber
ZÜBLIN Timber is responsible for workshop planning, production, delivery and assembly as part of the timber construction. Around 3,500 m³ of LENO® cross laminated timber, around 1,800 m³ of glulam and around 740 timber frame construction elements, which make up around 5,500 m², are being used. The facade is also included in the contract. The construction project has some special features. For example, prefabricated concrete parts for the escape balcony and small wall elements including windows and sun protection are being used.

Sustainability also plays a major role in this project. The criteria for the state seal of quality QNG-PLUS, which assesses the ecological, economic and socio-cultural quality of buildings, as well as the requirements of the City of Munich are to be met.
