German Pavilion

The German Pavilion was completed in 2000 for EXPO 2000. The futuristic-looking building is now used as an event location, among other things.

The German Pavilion, a building made of pure glass, stands with its transparency as an inviting gesture to visitors from all over the world. The combination of glass, wood and steel as well as the innovative construction technology embody the EXPO motto "Man - Nature - Technology". Filigree glass and steel constructions blend harmoniously with the natural material wood. Particularly striking is the inwardly curved, prestressed glass skin of the façade, which lends the building a sense of lightness and elegance. Another architectural highlight are the columns on which the wooden roof of the German Pavilion rests, making the building one of the outstanding landmarks on the 170-hectare World Expo site.
