Luxembourg Cents: From a mobile hall to a modern training centre for artistic gymnastics

A project with special requirements 

Challenge 1: No pit possible 

Since no excavation work could be done, SPIETH created a kind of podium solution for part of the hall, where equipment like uneven bars and trampolines can be installed on a base pit. The design is similar to structures used in international competitions and was successfully implemented again in 2025.

Challenge 2: Vibrating hall floor 

Due to the construction method, the hall floor vibrates slightly under load, which meant there was a risk that the gymnastics equipment anchored to the floor would also vibrate. To ensure that the ‘Munich’ competition uneven bars remained stable, they were positioned precisely between the metal struts of the substructure in consultation with the customer. This means that the anchor points are located almost directly above the struts, minimizing the transfer of floor vibrations to the uneven bars.

Challenge 3: Limited space and doors in the landing area 

Due to the limited space available, landing areas had to be positioned next to doors – a potential safety risk. To avoid this, SPIETH developed sliding protection elements for the first time. These can be slid in front of the doors, perfectly combining safety and functionality.

Challenge 4: Cost reduction 

In consultation with SPIETH, horizontal beams on the walls were moved so that they could serve as a substructure for wall bars and the sliding mechanism. This saves time and money. 

Result: Enthusiasm among the club and the city. The new hall is not only impressive from a technical point of view – it has also led to a boom in membership, especially among female gymnasts from all over Luxembourg. Luxembourg-Cents is now a prime example of creative solutions in artistic gymnastics.
