New construction of the Horb police station begins

The police station Horb gets a new home. The country is investing a good 7.6 million euros in the new building that is created in wood construction and has a photovoltaic system. 

So far, the Horb police station is located in the building of the listed former fruit box in the town center. In the future it will be accommodated on Hornaustraße.

The draft for the new building provides for a compact, rectangular building that is based on the historic town of Horbs. In parallel to the main building, a one -storey carport building for duty vehicles is planned. The construction takes place in wooden construction on a massive base floor.

The new building achieves exemplary energy efficiency due to the high insulation quality of the external components. In conjunction with a heat pump system, largely climate -neutral heat generation is possible. The energetic concept is made by a Photovoltaic system supplemented with an output of around 30 kilowatts of peak, which will reduce the external current supply by around 30,000 kilowatt hours per year. This corresponds to the annual power consumption of around eight four-person households.

The country is investing around 7.64 million euros in the new building.
