Renovation of railway station, Heringsdorf on Usedom
Heringsdorf station on Usedom is located in the traditional imperial spa town of Heringsdorf, surrounded by forest, dunes, and the Baltic Sea. Around 100 years ago, Emperor Wilhelm II used the seaside resort as his summer residence and traveled there from Berlin on the railway line completed in 1894.
Today, the largest station building on Usedom is operated by the Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB) and serves as an important transport hub for modern rail traffic on the island. Due to the progressive aging of the building fabric and increasing moisture damage, the UBB decided to carry out a comprehensive renovation of the historic station building.
The Heringsdorf train station on Usedom Island showed significant structural damage, which was mainly due to moisture. While the tracks had already been renovated in 1996, the station building itself required subsequent waterproofing.
A planning office developed a customized waterproofing concept in collaboration with WEBAC. The renovation measures covered the following areas:
Post-construction exterior waterproofing with WEBAC 5611
- Protection of the historic façade against moisture penetration
- Long-term preservation of the building structure
Damp proof course (dpc) against rising damp with PU injection resin WEBAC 1403
- Injection directly into the masonry to interrupt capillary water absorption
Waterproofing of the built-over basement walls with WEBAC 240
- Curtain injection into the adjacent building ground
- Protection against vertically penetrating moisture
Sealing the floor-wall connection joint in newly installed concrete bases using an injection tube
- Ensuring a watertight connection between concrete floors and masonry
The renovation of Heringsdorf station was carried out in stages over a period of two years. Targeted waterproofing measures using WEBAC products ensured that the historic building could be preserved for the long term and protected from further moisture damage.

WEBAC injection tubes are flexible joint tubes that, when used in conjunction with WEBAC PU injection resins, provide a reliable seal. They are used to seal construction joints in concrete structures and to create a structural bond between concrete components.
PU Injection Resins
WEBAC® 1403
- Classic Line
View detailsWEBAC 1403 is a long-track-record proven PU injection resin, particularly valued for its safe and controlled application. Upon contact with water, it cures into a closed, waterproof, and dimensionally stable resin with a fine pore structure. It is suitable for sealing, crack injection, and stabilizing masonry and concrete, and is used for post-construction damp proof courses (dpc) against capillary rising damp.
Dispersion for Walls and Floors
WEBAC® 5611
- Classic Line
View detailsWEBAC 5611 is a reactive bitumen-acrylate dispersion that adheres well to a wide variety of substrates and has crack-bridging properties. The hydrophobic effect of the bitumen component creates a waterproof seal with reliable protection against leaching by salts harmful to structures. This makes WEBAC 5611 suitable for surface waterproofing against hydrostatic pressure in building construction, civil engineering, and historic preservation.
Acrylat Gels
WEBAC® 240
- Classic Line
- Consolidation Line
View detailsWEBAC 240 is a low-viscosity, fast-setting polyacrylate injection gel with National Technical Approval from DIBt (B-concentration 2%). After curing, it forms a waterproof, firm-elastic gel that reliably absorbs dynamic and mechanical stresses. It is particularly suitable for curtain injection—either in the subsoil immediately adjacent to the structural element or within the existing building structure—as well as for subsoil stabilization and waterproofing or damp proof courses (dpc).
