Secondary School in Stettbach

A considerable vertical difference is the characteristic feature of this Stettbach slope where, according to a commemorative plate, the French and Austrian armies were engaged in combat in 1799. Besides the extreme site, the large space programme posed some problems to the architects involved. The arrangement of the various parts and the design of details, such as access drives, recreation spaces, stairs, supporting walls, the modelling of inclined areas etc. required comprehensive studies.
