Dechant-Diel-Haus

Simultaneously to the construction of the new parish hall of the catholic parish Mariae Namen in Hanau the adjacent Dechant Diel regional house was reconstructed and refurbished. The building features a newly designed outdoor area and a considerable entrance area. These two modifications emphasize and reinforce the public use of the building, especially as it is on the same level as the adjacent parish hall.

The remodeling comprised the facade, the interior finish, and the entire building technology. Apart from community rooms, the reconstructed building features rooms for family education, church music and Hanau caritas.
