|
Strotmann & Partner was founded in 1998 by Dr. Ewa Piaszczynski. The company has 15 employees. Main subjects of work are: Conservation of monuments, sculptures and facades as well as frescos. All conservation work is carried out on the basis of comprehensive characterisation of the objects in question. Necessary laboratory investigations are realised in the own laboratory and in cooperation with scientists from universities and laboratories specialized in stone conservation. |
|
| The most work is carried out by restorers with a master degree in conservation. Strotmann & Partner offers yearly two traineeships for students from whole Europe. These are incorporated into the ERASMUS and DA VINCI programmes. |
