Sternwellenzelt, Membrane tent structure in Deutz, Germany
The Sternwellenzelt spans 1000 square meters with a star-shaped roof consisting of twelve identical segments arranged around a central ring.
German architect Frei Otto designed this membrane tent roof for the 1957 Federal Garden Show in Cologne, setting new standards in architectural innovation.
The structure forms the centerpiece of the Tanzbrunnen complex, covering a circular dance floor positioned above an artificial water surface.
The current roof, made of coated polyester-polyplan material, provides 500 square meters of protection and rests on six lightweight masts measuring 10 meters each.
The central opening measures 28 square meters, while the outer edges create a wave pattern that gives the structure its characteristic appearance.
