In a modern society there is always a fire risk. A fire detection system ensures that nothing is left to chance if there is imminent danger. Works of art that make it onto the walls of museums are usually unique. They are irreplaceable as cultural assets, of inestimable value and must be protected from anything that could endanger their integrity. The Labor Strauss Group sees its core competence in the protection of people and property and has been supporting the fire protection of the whole museum operation of the ALBERTINA for more than 20 years.
According to well-informed sources, the ALBERTINA looks back at an exciting building history. Bear in mind that the guidelines for the protection of historic buildings and monuments and the cultural heritage restrict what can be done. The sales engineer Herbert Pflügl, who is responsible for sales and customer care at LST, can confirm this. When he thinks back to the conversion phase, which dates back to 2003, he describes the challenges of the project in just one sentence: "Harmonising the numerous targets was not always easy, but solvable." Translated from engineering-speak into plain language this means, the ideas of all those involved – from architects to museum curators – have to be reconciled so that they correspond technically and visually to the specifications for the general renovation.
