Synagogue, Regensburg

For the new synagogue building in Regensburg, ZÜBLIN Timber was responsible for the 3D design and the manufacture of the biaxially curved cross-laminated timber elements. The project demonstrates the possibilities of complex free-form structures in timber engineering.

A flat dome shell with a spherical radius of 28 metres spans four corner points. The structure consists of 20 biaxially curved LENO^® cross-laminated timber elements and spans the interior in a tent-like form.

The exposed timber surfaces were finished with a Fineline finish and define the architectural character of the space. The structure combines sophisticated geometry with the precise execution of the timber structural elements.
