Münster-Sprakel - The 18th July 2010, will not forget Sprakel Schulze family. That night, when the machine hall and the large barns were ablaze. A nightmare. 41 pigs died in the fire, 120 could be saved. 80 firefighters were on duty, prevented a massive fire-fighting the spread of flames to other buildings. Cause of the fire was a technical defect. Now, one year later, Stefan Schulze Sprakel before the new hall and have the assurance that he, at least this time the corn harvest, which begins about four weeks can store itself.
It was not possible last year. He had to sell his grain to the country store and buy ready-made food for the pigs. "There is a lot of work and a lot of work behind us," he flatly states. Last year he was "often went to the limit." In the difficult situation he was advised by his insurance agent Paul Everding and felt well supported
The new building, planned largely by the Office Witech, was created at the exact spot where stood the old hall. 2000 tons of recycled gravel have now been processed, 630 cubic meters of concrete, 48 tons of structural steel and several truckloads of wood. "Like many, I really do not know," he says. The trusses hall measures 25 by 40 meters high and is 11.50 meters, the ridge height. There is a reason: "We need a reasonable sound insulation to the highway," says Stefan Schulze Sprakel. Nevertheless, there are standard dimensions, that is a "Hall of the rack," so it does not already become too expensive.

To harvest the hall was not finished, the decisions about the plans, as it should have, taken. That was no problem this time: Stefan Schulze Sprakel has stored his corn to 90 percent at Raiffeisen Bever-Ems and receives back an equivalent, if it is needed. When he from the main house looks over to the new hall, the relief is to look at him: He knows that a new era has begun and a difficult phase is managed.
