History
In the 1930s large gasworks were erected at the site in Magdeburg-Rothensee, which produced gas as a bi-product of coal, to supply the city of Magdeburg. During the Second World War the gasworks were heavily bombed and although they were rebuilt during the GDR era, they were however demolished after German reunification.
In 2001, work began on restoring the site and on the construction of the glulam plant.
Today, the property has been completely transformed and covers a total area of around 11 hectares. Coal dust has made way for the fragrance of spruce.
Logistics
Magdeburg is located in the heart of europe and has excellent connections to the international network of motorways (on the important east-West and North-South junction). the site has two rail connections and a tributary of the elbe marks one of its boundaries.
