On 21 December 2021, the first spadefuls of earth were turned for the BOB construction project on Willy-Brandt-Platz in Krefeld.
In view of the perfect sunny albeit chilly weather, all participants truly enjoyed sharing this milestone.
Thanks to the great support by the authorities of the City of Krefeld and the highly productive cooperation of all parties, it was possible to develop the project to this point in just two years.
The spades (or rather the shovels) were energetically applied by (from left to right on the photo):
Mr Hermann Dulle (client, BOB AG, member of the board)
Mr Norbert Bienen (project initiator, bienen + partner immobilien)
Mr Marcus Beyer (City of Krefeld, alderman)
Mr Frank Meyer (City of Krefeld, lord mayor)
Mr Gunther Adler (tenant, Autobahn GmbH, member of the management board)
Mr Thomas Ganz (tenant Autobahn GmbH, branch manager)
Ms van Wersch (client, BOB AG, project manager)
Mr Peter Verspay (design, Hahn Helten Architektur).
Due to the COVID 19 restrictions, the groundbreaking was attended by a limited number of persons only and was not followed by a celebration.
