ABSTRACT
The Olympic stadium in Berlin was modernized and restored under strict requirements of the monument protection authority. Part of the extensive construction work was the new construction of the grandstand roof. This is a light and far cantilevering skeleton framework of steel hollow sections, which is covered by an upper and lower membrane as well as with glass in the inner roof area. After a short description of the historic development of the stadium and the overall construction work there follows a report on design, construction and execution of the grandstand roof (see Stroetmann & Schneider 2003, Stroetmann 2005).
