Humboldt Forum relies on eCLIQ access management
Challenge
On 12 June 2013, the foundation stone for the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace was laid - in the form of the Humboldt Forum. The structure was built with reconstructed baroque as well as modern façades in a historic location in the centre of Berlin.
Since December 2020, the Humboldt Forum has been gradually opening its doors to visitors as a museum, event and meeting centre, with spaces for exhibitions and the non-European collections of the Berlin State Museums. There will also be a Humboldt University science laboratory.
The challenge with this building is that the rooms are used differently at different times and are entered by many employees, service providers and, of course, by many visitors. A solution was therefore required that not only offers a very high standard of security, but also features simple access authorisation management.
Solution
The Humboldt Forum Foundation, represented by the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning, chose an intelligent and digital eCLIQ locking system from ASSA ABLOY and commissioned Weckbacher Sicherheitssysteme to plan, deliver and install this demanding project. The uncomplicated and reliable solution is distinguished by robust, durable and secure components, as well as its compact form and striking design. The keys and cylinders are compatible with the doors’ stringent design-oriented requirements and installation situations and thus optimally integrate into the sophisticated building concept of the Berlin Palace, which has been known as one of the most important museums in the world even before its opening.
The decisive factor, however, was that the solution offers state-of-the-art control with total flexibility. Access authorisations can be changed quickly and easily with eCLIQ , for example, which is essential due to the constantly changing exhibitions. Lost keys can also be deactivated immediately.
Management is done via the CLIQ® Web Manager, an easy-to-scale and very user-friendly program.
