Construction Draiflessen
Dear visitors,
Draiflessen has started some renovation work to make our house even more welcoming and more accessible for you.
During the construction phase, there may be changes and restrictions in some areas – we ask for your understanding and patience.
We will keep you up to date on this page: Here you will find the latest information on the progress of the construction work, any changes to access routes, and all important new features.
We look forward to welcoming you to Draiflessen!
Warm regards,
Your team at Draiflessen

Dachsanierung
January to May 2026
Due to leaks, the roof is now also being refurbished. Scaffolding has been erected around the building for the work.
The green roof has been vacuumed, and the next step is to blow in new granulate, which unfortunately will again be noisy.
The roof is scheduled for completion at the end of May.

New parking lot
In 2026, we will begin construction of a new parking lot in the area of the existing parking space, which will be expanded by over 100 parking spaces.
To this end, the ground has been renovated and a new base layer has been applied. The existing gravel was reused in a sustainable manner.

Gate system
A new gate system has been installed, the construction fence has been removed, and the first glimpses of the new gate system and the raised forecourt can now be seen.
This means that the site can already be admired in its new “closed” state, but it is not yet accessible – the new guest entrance is expected to be operational from October 2026.

Elevation of Georgstraße and Draiflessen forecourt
The road and forecourt were raised to protect Draiflessen against a hundred-year flood.
Due to the steep slope of the entrance area to the building, there was a risk that water would find its way into the building via the ramp in the event of extreme rainfall. The measure was completed in 2025.

Relocation of the entrance to Bachstraße
- Temporary relocation of the entrance from Georgstraße to Bachstraße 31
- The destination address for the navigation system remains “Georgstraße 18,” as this is where the parking lot is located.
- A short, signposted footpath will then take you to Bachstraße.
- Installation of an external elevator at the museum entrance to improve accessibility
- Storage of building materials in the Draiflessen parking lot
