Structure relocation

When building displacement of the location of an entire structure is changed by moving. A building can offset the conservation of monuments serve (transport in an open air museum or rescuing a vulnerable location), or the economic re-use at a more convenient location in the context of urban renewal or according to the needs of the owner object. The highest ever converted building is the BREN Tower in the 1960s. Previously, in 1959, implemented a 280 -meter-high radio mast in -true state in Felsberg - vocation.

Different methods

There are two methods:

• Translocation: the building is dismantled, transported to the greatest possible individual parts and rebuilt at the new site. So distinctive parts such as presentation or plaster at the new location in the ( restored ) Original can be shown.
• Building displacement in the narrow sense: The building is detached from the ground and moves as a whole, by rolling or sliding on relevant documents.

Both methods are a form of reconstruction elsewhere, which lost a part of the whole building goes ( Original foundation, structural context of the original site, archaeological relics and reference to previous buildings ).

Known building dislocations

Displacement of other structures

It was not so rare that free-standing or guyed transmission towers (not concrete) dismantled and rebuilt on another site. In some cases they were built from the original site removed close ( a few meters ), far away in other cases. In the former case, it was almost continuously towers that were part of a directional antenna for long or medium wave and the entry into force of a new frequency allocation plan could best comply with a new arrangement of the towers the required directional beam pattern. Addition to the construction of a tower is often also offered to dismantle a tower of the plant and to build again at the new location. It also happened that parts degraded towers were used for the upper parts of new higher transmission towers. Examples are the transmission towers in Donebach and the now demolished wooden tower of the radio transmitter Ismaning. After the Second World War some transmission towers were mined in the former GDR by the Soviet occupation forces and re-erected in the former Soviet Union. An example of this is the Goliath transmitter. Also overhead line masts have already been dismantled and re-erected at a new location. Likewise, smaller steel Towers were broken down for the restoration and then rebuilt.
