Summary edit

Description
English: The main station of Dresden got a new roof between 2001 and 2006. It was designed by Sir Norman Foster. The roof is built as a tent with a 0.7 mm thick glass fiber membrane, coated with Teflon. It cost 90.06 million €. Snow and rain are collected in funnels of the same membrane. The downspouts were too small and in winter 2010 and 2011 snow and water were kept in the funnels, turned to ice and cracked nine of them. Travellers could have been hit by large lumps of ice. For protecting them, safety-nets were laid around the funnels and their tubes were enhanced by heavy plastic sheets. The builder of the roof became insolvent. The bank, which provided security for guarantee claims, demanded an evidence securing procedure which began in 2011 and ended in 2017. Deutsche Bahn and the bank settled their dispute, when the damage was confirmed by the experts.

Deutsch: Zwischen 2001 und 2006 erhielt der Dresdner Hauptbahnhof ein neues Dach als Zelt nach Entwürfen von Sir Norman Foster. Es besteht aus einer Glasfibermembran mit einer Dicke von 0,7 mm und kostete 90,6 Mio €. Die Fallrohre, die Regen und Schnee aus Sammeltrichtern ableiten sollten, waren zu klein. In den Wintern 2010 und 2011 wuchs das Eis und zerriss die Membran in neun Trichtern. Um die Reisenden vor herabfallenden Eisbrocken zu schützen, wurden zunächst Fangnetze gespannt und die Trichterenden mit massiver Kunststofffolie verstärkt. Das Bauunternehmen Skyspan geriet in Insolvenz, so dass die Deutsche Bahn die Bank in Anspruch nehmen musste, die die Gewährleistungsbürgschaft übernahm. Die Bank bestand auf einem gerichtlichen Beweisverfahren, das von 2011 bis 2017 dauerte. Nach Abschluss des Verfahrens einigten sich die Parteien im November 2017 gütlich.
