Overview

The Landesbetrieb Liegenschafts- und Baubetreuung (LBB) is the real estate and construction service provider for the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It was established in 1998 as the successor to the former state building administration (Staatsbauverwaltung) of Rhineland-Palatinate. The reorganization aimed to operate according to business management principles, moving from cameralistic accounting to cost and activity accounting. The LBB is a state enterprise (Landesbetrieb) under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance of Rhineland-Palatinate, with technical oversight for federal construction matters provided by the Amt für Bundesbau (ABB) in Mainz. The LBB manages a substantial property portfolio: approximately 550 properties with around 1,600 buildings, representing fixed assets of about €2.2 billion. These include office buildings for ministries, tax offices, and cadastral offices; special-purpose properties such as justice, police, and forestry buildings, museums, schools, and universities. The organization employs around 1,400 staff and provides training for technical system planners, architectural drafters, office management assistants, and building trainees in architecture, mechanical/electrical engineering, and urban planning. Its core activities cover two main business areas: real estate management and construction management. Real estate management involves the care and optimization of the state's property portfolio according to business principles. Construction management encompasses the implementation of construction projects for the federal government (including for NATO and foreign armed forces stationed in Germany), for the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and for third parties. In 2019, the LBB handled a construction volume of €481 million (up from €380 million in 2018), of which €288 million was for federal construction and €160 million for state construction. The LBB is headquartered in Mainz and operates through eight regional branches located in Diez, Idar-Oberstein, Kaiserslautern, Koblenz, Landau, Mainz, Trier, and Weilerbach. Additional regional construction management offices exist at locations such as Spangdahlem Air Base and Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. Major current projects include numerous buildings for state authorities, new institute and research buildings at Rhineland-Palatinate universities, the new Roman-Germanic Central Museum, and the renovation of the state parliament in Mainz. For the Bundeswehr, a focus is the new construction and expansion of the Bundeswehr Central Hospital in Koblenz. For the American stationed forces, a new hospital is being built near Weilerbach along with a comprehensive school construction program (21st Century concept). Projects in the area of castles, palaces, and antiquities include work at the Roman Imperial Baths in Trier, Stolzenfels Castle, and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. In its 2018 annual report, the Rhineland-Palatinate Court of Audit criticized that the state's landlord-tenant model only partially achieved its objectives, stating that high effort yielded low steering efficiency.

History

The Landesbetrieb Liegenschafts- und Baubetreuung (LBB) was founded in 1998 as the successor to the former state building administration (Staatsbauverwaltung) of Rhineland-Palatinate. The reorganization aimed to operate according to business management principles, which involved a transition from cameralistic accounting to cost and activity accounting. The controlling department now provides important, decisive information for ongoing business activities. The supervisory authority of the LBB is the Ministry of Finance of Rhineland-Palatinate, while technical oversight in the federal construction branch lies with the Amt für Bundesbau (ABB) in Mainz. Since its establishment, the LBB has grown into a central real estate and construction service provider for the state. It manages approximately 550 properties with around 1,600 buildings, representing fixed assets of about €2.2 billion. The organization employs around 1,400 staff and provides vocational training in several technical and commercial fields. In 2019, the LBB handled a construction volume of €481 million, up from €380 million in 2018, with €288 million for federal construction and €160 million for state construction. The LBB is headquartered in Mainz and operates through eight regional branches: Diez, Idar-Oberstein, Kaiserslautern, Koblenz, Landau, Mainz, Trier, and Weilerbach. Additional regional construction management offices exist at locations such as Spangdahlem Air Base and Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The central office is divided into the divisions of real estate management, federal construction, and general affairs, as well as the audit group for subsidy construction and various staff positions. The real estate management division is further subdivided into strategic development, portfolio, facility, and energy management. Major construction projects include numerous buildings for state authorities, new institute and research buildings at Rhineland-Palatinate universities, the new Roman-Germanic Central Museum, and the renovation of the state parliament in Mainz. For the Bundeswehr, a focus is the new construction and expansion of the Bundeswehr Central Hospital in Koblenz.
