About RAU.bayern
- 01Planted noise protectionDensely planted walls that blend into the landscape instead of standing out from it.
- 02Highly absorbent, filled locallyEffective sound absorption. Where excavated soil from the site is suitable, we use it as fill, which saves disposal and delivery.
RAU Geosystem Süd GmbH, based in Kaufbeuren
RAU.bayern designs and builds densely planted noise barriers for local authorities and private clients across Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland and northern Italy. Our partner company, RAU Lärmschutzwände Geosystem GBK GmbH in Berlin, looks after the rest of Germany.
RAU.bayern is managed by Erwin Königsberger, who comes from the Allgäu region. A state-certified technician in landscaping, gardening and sports-ground construction, he spent many years in landscape construction before specialising, around 20 years ago, in a different kind of noise barrier: planted, highly effective and in keeping with its surroundings. He is supported by a team of specialist engineers and staff in administration and construction.
Building regionally, keeping distances short
The fill material for our Klimawand barriers comes from local suppliers with the shortest possible transport distances, and wherever we can, we reuse soil from local excavation so that valuable topsoil is not wasted. The wall elements are delivered flat-packed and assembled on site, so even large or long barriers usually need just one lorry, two at most.
For planting, we use only species native to Bavaria or the region concerned.
KlimAktiv has prepared a Climate Handprint for the RAU Klimawand R3, our planted noise barrier, covering emissions from raw materials, production and transport through to the finished wall. Find out more
