Bruder-Konrad-Haus Saarbrücken
Caritas has planned a replacement construction, with cutting-edge architectural design, as a hostel for homeless men. The building is clearly structured. The arrangement of the rooms and functional units was carried out with a heavy focus on the idea of community, with a foyer and dining hall on the ground floor, and the residents’ rooms on the four upper floors.
The communal area with a kitchen and seating is the main feature at the heart of each residential level. The large window opening onto the outside balcony reveals a broad view of the city right up to the Winterberg mountain. This core element of the plan view, which also includes sanitary facilities and utility rooms, is flanked by two hallways along which the residents’ rooms are located, facing either east or west.
communal spaces. The relevant hallway doors should, however, remain open day-to-day, and only close in the case of fire, when they will do so automatically. The TS 93 EMR overhead door closer, with electromechanical hold-open and integrated smoke detector in the slide channel, was therefore chosen. Many other doors with T30-SP fire protection requirements, for example, leading to storage and technical rooms, as well as doors to the sanitary facilities, were fitted with the TS 93 overhead door closer.
A transparent full-glass system was installed in the reception area, with sufficiently visible Mundus corner fittings – in this case, for a swinging door. The wide-ranging, modularly-structured Mundus fitting series allows the creative universal equipping of revolving doors with locks, lever handles and belts. The door closer developed specifically for swinging doors also fits seamlessly into the fittings system. Thanks to its low installation depth of 40 mm, with the BTS 84, a floor spring that is also suitable for flat floor constructions, can be installed.

dormakaba’s solution
To provide fire protection in the hostel, the hallways on the residential floors have been separated into two fire sections in the area in and around the communal spaces. The relevant hallway doors should, however, remain open day-to-day, and only close in the case of fire, when they will do so automatically. The TS 93 EMR overhead door closer, with electromechanical hold-open and integrated smoke detector in the slide channel, was therefore chosen. Many other doors with T30-SP fire protection requirements, for example, leading to storage and technical rooms, as well as doors to the sanitary facilities, were fitted with the TS 93 overhead door closer.
