After three years of construction, the renewal of the roof membrane at Dresden Central Station has been completed. The construction work was completed on schedule, as announced by Deutsche Bahn. "By renewing the roof membrane, we were able to restore the functionality of the roof structure and secure it permanently," said Heiko Klaffenbach, Head of Station Management Dresden.
The hall roof had suffered severe damage in the winter of 2010/11 - a good four years after completion. Now so-called skylights have been installed. Snow drifts and broken ice can be deposited on them without clogging the funnels underneath for the drainage of melt and rainwater.
