Each window weighs up to 450 kg and measures up to 4.20 m in length.

Installation was always carried out from the inside and in the window reveals. The outside of the natural stone and architectural concrete façade, as seen here in the palace forum, was left untouched in the process.

For the Humboldt-Forum, two new vacuum lifters were created.

Installation of the big and heavy windows was only possible with the aid of the robust lifting gear.
