The joint efforts of the architectural offices Hermann Kaufmann ZT and Florian Nagler Architekten have met with a two-fold success: after winning the German timber construction award, the architects have received a further accolade in the form of the German architecture award. In the citation, Dr. Barbara Hendricks, the German Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Construction and Nuclear Safety said: "As a model project for a PlusEnergy building, the new Schmuttertal Gymnasium in Diedorf is an impressive and forward-looking example of sustainable architecture.
