As a part of the expansion works of the Elbe‑Havel Canal, the Güsen road bridge was replaced with a new bridge in the same location. This new construction was necessary because the clear width and height of the existing bridge were insufficient for the upcoming development of the waterway.
The new headquarters of the Baden Farmers' Association (BLHV) is unique. The timber construction is protected by a glass facade to counteract graying caused by weather conditions. Although the architects of Werkgruppe Lahr have sufficient experience in timber construction, the wooden house with glass cladding has been a "model project" for them.
