The system consequently puts the monolithic construction idea into praxis: concrete roof slab and supporting radial and transversal ribs are an insoluble unity. Spectacular is the roofing of roofages up to 10.000 square metres.

Pommer for instance builds the depots of the Big Leipzig Tram. Outstanding is the Leipzig central station, an architectural masterpiece.
