Workshop Timber connections

Theory meets practice in timber education.

In the spirit of practice-oriented teaching, the Chair of Timber Engineering and Building Construction at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, and Rothoblaas srl offered a practical workshop on connection technology in multi-storey timber construction for students. In the first part of the workshop, the students of the Timber Construction class in the Master's degree program in Civil Engineering were informed about the current status of the development of various connection solutions in timber engineering, especially in the field of mass timber buildings by Jonathan Fries. They were then able to see for themselves how easy the SPIDER connector is to install. Tom Bender and Christian Pinger, research associates at Holzbauforschung Mainz, prepared a cross-laminated timber ceiling element, produced by Eugen Decker Holzbau KG, Morbach, Rhineland-Palatinate, using a hand-held CNC router so that the students could install the SPIDER in the correct position with form-fit.

We like to thank our partners Rothoblaas Germany and Eugen Decker Holzindustrie for their support of timber education and research in Mainz, in particular Brigitte Decker-Wilbert, David Nothelfer and Jonathan Fries.

Team building with practical experiences in wood and forestry in St. Blasien.

The practical experience days for the team of the timber research group were a complete success and we had an eventful week in the Black Forest near the Swiss border. Many thanks to all organizers and participants from the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the team from Holzbauforschung Mainz, especially to Stefan Kudermann from Zentrum Holzbau Schwarzwald gGmbH and Bernhard Tritschler from Holzbau Amann GmbH.

Praxistage.Holz are an event series where students, apprentices, and educators in the field of timber construction and wood design meet with companies involved in wood processing across Europe. These practical days offer insights into innovative wood processing techniques and hands-on exercises related to the material of wood. The 2024 Wood Practical Days will be held at the Zentrum Holzbau Schwarzwald and are planned for the week of September 23rd to 27th, 2024.

Participants can expect a diverse program:

Forest Excursion: An excursion to the forest for a better understanding of the raw material wood,
Company Visits: Insights into production processes and workflows at wood-processing companies,
Hands-on Workshops: Participants can experience timber construction up close and get actively involved,
Lectures: From tree felling to finished structures. The presentations covering the entire forest supply chain.
