​​​​​​​Renovation of St. Odilia Rectory

The St. Odilia Rectory in Hausen am Andelsbach, built in 1716, is one of the town’s most important historic buildings. The two-storey timber-framed structure is a representative example of early 18th-century regional architecture. Located directly next to St. Odilia Church, the listed heritage building continues to form the historic centre of the village and remains a defining element of the established townscape.

In addition to its ecclesiastical purpose, the rectory still plays a key role in local community life. Today, it accommodates community facilities as well as the Catholic Public Library of St. Odilia. Generous room proportions, high ceilings with stucco and coffered details, and the original timber-frame construction underline the building’s distinctive architectural identity.

Sustainable renovation of a listed historic building

The ongoing renovation project focuses on the careful modernisation of the listed structure while preserving its historic fabric. The objective is to combine monument conservation with modern living comfort and high energy-efficiency standards. Lindner GFT contributes its extensive expertise in renovation and refurbishment of historic buildings, relying on sustainable, system-coordinated construction solutions.

Ecological floor system for refurbishment projects

In cooperation with its partner CEMWOOD, Lindner GFT is implementing an ecological floor system tailored to the requirements of historic buildings. The solution comprises Glapor foam glass gravel, an ecological dry fill from CEMWOOD, and high-performance wood fibre insulation. This multi-layer construction creates a load-bearing, diffusion-open and sustainable base, supporting a healthy indoor climate – particularly important in sensitive refurbishment and heritage renovation projects.

Efficient underfloor heating with NORIT

A key technical component of the renovation is the NORIT-TE 30 Therm GF 150-15 underfloor heating system. The gypsum fibre screed element acts as a load-distributing layer and enables fast and precise installation thanks to the innovative click system, eliminating the need for screwing. The integrated fixed guide ensures secure routing of the NORIT heating pipes and allows flexible adaptation to existing room geometries. The system is suitable for wet rooms, building biology tested, and stands out for the high dimensional accuracy of its panels – making it ideal for underfloor heating in refurbishment and historic buildings.
