Solutions for projects all over Germany
From water parks to railway stations, from offices to residential complexes: Sopro products have been successfully used in many different building projects throughout Germany
Sopro products have been used in a wide variety of major construction and renovation projects throughout Germany, ranging from office towers and railway stations to swimming pools, hospitals, and luxury resorts. This includes high-profile projects such as the FAZ Tower in Frankfurt, Berlin Südkreuz railway station, the Alster indoor pool in Hamburg, and the Roots residential complex in HafenCity.
FAZ Tower, Frankfurt
Built between 2020 and 2021, the FAZ Tower in Frankfurt will house the editorial office of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), one of Germany's most important daily newspapers. Designed by Eike Becker Architekten, it comprises 18 floors and features a modern, functional design that optimises energy use, ventilation and thermal insulation. Sopro products were used for the waterproofing of substrates in the wet areas of kitchens and toilets and for the installation and grouting of ceramic tiles and stone slabs (including arabesque marble) on floors and walls in various rooms totalling 10,000 m2.
Sopro's solutions were also selected because they are characterised by very low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and certified EMICODE EC1Plus by GEV. In addition, they contributed to a rapid execution of the installation work.

Berlin Südkreuz railway station, Berlin
Berlin Südkreuz station is one of the city's main railway stations, located in the Schöneberg district. Designed on two levels to optimise railway traffic, it is an important junction for national and international connections, where ICE, Eurocity and Intercity trains run. Inaugurated in 2006, it has recently undergone renovation work on the platforms, damaged by the effects of frost, carried out without interrupting transport flows. Sopro products were used to level and waterproof the substrates before installing new stone covering with the company's materials.

Alster swimming pool, Hamburg
The Alster indoor swimming pool was reopened to the public last November after three years of renovation and extension work. The project involved the renovation of the historical building constructed in the 1960s with a restyling that optimised the brightness and functionality of the spaces. New features include an entrance that is also accessible to users with reduced mobility, a completely renovated 50-metre swimming pool, a fitness area and a sauna area. Sopro's products have been used inside the swimming pools for levelling and waterproofing the substrates and, around the pools, for laying large and extra-large tiles.

Helios Hospital HSK, Wiesbaden
The Helios Hospital HSK (Helios Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken) is one of the most advanced healthcare facilities in the Federal State of Hesse. It offers a wide range of medical and specialist services and is known for its excellence in surgery, oncology, neurology and internal medicine. It was recently renovated and expanded by approximately 100,000 m2. In the new rooms and, in particular, in the corridors, on the stairs and in the cafeteria, ceramic tiles were installed on floors and walls with Sopro products. The company's solutions proved to be particularly suitable for environments exposed to the aggression of chemical agents and where it was necessary to guarantee a high level of hygiene, such as in kitchens and some clinics.
