WOLFF cranes power ‘Seegut am Tegernsee’ build in Bavaria

25 Sep 2025 CW Team

On the southern shore of Lake Tegernsee in Bad Wiessee, one of Germany’s largest contemporary tourism schemes is taking shape: “Seegut am Tegernsee”, a roughly 35,000 m² ensemble of 25 low-rise buildings featuring a hotel, restaurant and cultural barn, all set over a 20,000 m² underground level. Contractor Pöttinger Bauunternehmung has turned to Wolffkran for heavy lifting across the multi-year build programme.

At project start, two WOLFF 8540.20 Cross saddle-jib cranes handled the heaviest pours and rebar packs, supported by material runs to the basement slab and utilities level. More recently, a new WOLFF 8038.20 Clear joined the fleet to sustain brisk progress across multiple fronts as superstructure work accelerates. One 8540.20 Cross—configured with an 80 m jib and 55.5 m hook height—has already completed its scope, been dismantled and sold to a new Wolffkran customer in Romania. The remaining 8540.20 Cross and the 8038.20 Clear—both rigged with 80 m jibs and 33 m hook heights—will continue operating side by side until 2026, supporting façade installation, timber-hybrid elements and fit-out logistics.

The Seegut is designed around ecological timber and timber-hybrid construction principles and will use thermal water from Lake Tegernsee for heating and cooling, positioning the scheme as a flagship for sustainable tourism in Germany. Wolffkran says its dependable lifting solutions, long outreach and optimised hook times are helping the team meet tight site logistics on a constrained lakeside plot. “It is rewarding to see that our cranes here are not just moving materials but are part of a project that will shape the region,” said Wolfgang Kavelius, Sales Manager at Wolffkran GmbH. “We are able to offer our customer a powerful and economical solution while helping to build a piece of the future.”
