Anyone who associates shooting sport with the basement rooms of a shooting club will be delighted by the high-grade fully accessible architecture of the building designed by Kauffmann Theilig & Partner whose building makes an entirely different impression. The dimensions of the airgun hall have been chosen to accommodate two single-court sports halls, which can be used independently thanks to a partition curtain. The extensive glazing of the ground floor allows inward and outward views and serves as an inviting gesture. The training centre of Württembergi scher Schützenverband 1850 e. V. (WSV) (Württemberg Shooting Association) is part of the campus of the Württemberg Sports Federation (WLSB) at the Ruit Sports School location in Ostfildern. Sporting activities in two halls A 50 m small-bore facility is located underground on the east side of the site. The layout of the facility and the required noise protection necessitate its location below ground. At the same time, the space thus freed up above ground offers scope for building extension or the provision of outdoor sports facilities. A total of 20 shooting lanes are divided into two spatially separate units. The small-bore range with 2.5 m headroom also permits simultaneous pistol shooting at a range of 25 metres.
The airgun sports hall on the west side of the site has space for two sets of 20 lanes, each 10 m long. The chosen hall height of 7 m is also suitable for a variety of other sports. This dual use yields economic and organisational advantages and integrates competitive shooting into the spectrum of sports on the campus. Although this installation is also located on sublevel 1, its upper half projects above ground, thus allowing inward views and admitting daylight. Rapid change of use For the airgun hall, the sports hall equipment rooms in the basement have been embedded in the terrain, as are the two bullet traps on the north and south sides with the possibility of rapid changeover from shooting to general sport.
