Klimahaus Bremerhaven

To ensure the protection of large numbers of people in confined spaces, Teckentrup supplied around 160 fire and smoke protection doors for use in locations ranging from Antarctica to the rainforest. The doors must function permanently as escape doors in every climate around the world.

The idea behind the large-scale “Climate House” project is a simulated trip around the world along the 8 degrees 34 minutes east longitude line. This is where Bremerhaven and all the other stops are located: Switzerland, Sardinia, Niger, Cameroon, Antarctica, Samoa, Alaska, and the Hallig Langeneß. Each destination has its own exhibition complex. Here, visitors can experience the specific climate and see the flora and fauna. Short films and display boards explain the (weather) phenomena of each region. Other exhibition areas explain how the elements of fire, water, earth, and air determine the weather and climate, what (future) prospects climate change brings with it, and what opportunities everyone has to protect the climate (and the environment).

How do the different climates on our planet feel – from 38 degrees Celsius with 85 percent humidity to a dry six degrees below zero? These extremes also place demands on the building components that have to prove themselves in each zone – especially the doors, which are often exposed to different climates on each side. One example is Teckentrup fire doors: they lead from the sand desert as well as from the ice desert into “climate-neutral” escape stairwells.
