About us

Through architectural investigations, we examine the construction and fixtures of buildings, gaining important insights into the building history and building technology. Our experts do the documentation work, scientifically analyze investigations and findings, and publish the results.

This is how we contribute to research in regional architectural history, social history and economic history. Through architectural investigations and excavations, we gain deeper insights into the past lifestyles of the people in our region. Our work also provides an important foundation for conservation planning and decisions on historic buildings.
