UEFA Champions League Final | Madrid & Porto | 2019 - 2021
UEFA organises four European football competitions each year – the Super Cup, the Nations League, the Europe League and the Champions League.
Each competition ends with a final which, due to the high media interest and additional organisational and technical requirements on the part of UEFA, sometimes demands considerable additional technical equipment.
This applies in particular to the areas of power supply, camera platforms, studio installations, infrastructure for broadcasters and show sound. Every year, all of the finals are held in a different stadium.
We were commissioned by UEFA, Technical Services, with fully preparing and overseeing the implementation of its additional requirements for the final in Madrid. The contract extended over a little more than nine months and ended with three weeks of on-site support, including the final itself.
In close coordination with the numerous UEFA departments involved, the stadium operator and the external service providers, the project was yet another success for Mosaic Vision GmbH.
From Istanbul to Porto
After more than 3 years of planning, the 2021 Champions League Final was scheduled to take place in Istanbul on May 29. We were already busy with the first setups in Istanbul when 17 days before the event, due to pandemic-related travel restrictions, the decision was made to play the 2021 final in Porto (Portugal).
In a feat of organizational and logistical strength, we then made a significant contribution to the successful final match in Porto on May 29, 2021, as part of the overall project team.
During 2021, we were involved in the planning and implementation of other football events, including the EURO.
German Cup Final – RB Leipzig’s celebration | Leipzig | 2019
After RasenBallsport Leipzig (RB Leipzig) made their stunning advance to the cup final in Berlin at the end of the 2018/2019 season, preparations began for the team to celebrate in style.
With a lead time of just three-and-a-half weeks, Mosaic Vision GmbH was commissioned with the complete planning of the public viewing on the evening before and of the cup final event at the Festwiese (festival grounds) in Leipzig.
Since it was so difficult to predict public interest, the entire concept was designed for up to 30,000 visitors.
There was extremely little time to coordinate the service providers and media partners, but also the accompanying CAD planning, obtaining and evaluating offers, drawing up a security concept and approval planning.
With our highly experienced team, we took on this challenge and made it a resounding success. Even though the cherry on the cake – winning the cup final – unfortunately failed to materialise for RB Leipzig, around 12,000 enthusiastic football fans were still able to give “their” team a fitting and safe send-off at the end of the season.
Closing service Ev. Kirchentag | Wittenberg | 2017
The Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD) organized several events as part of the "500 Years of Reformation" celebrations in 2017. One highlight was the closing service of the church congress, which was celebrated in the Elbe meadows outside Wittenberg.
The Elbe meadows are a meadow landscape classified as a fauna-flora habitat under nature conservation law. Against this background, the task was to plan and tender deconstructable logistics routes, infrastructures and visitor paths for 200,000 participants and ultimately to provide on-site project management.
In total, a 30m circular stage, a grandstand for 4,000 participants, approx. 10,000 m2 of heavy-duty ground protection, more than 20,000 m3 of ballast, 23 delay towers, 5 video towers, 4 km of cable bridges, more than 100 temp. structures and a pontoon bridge were erected for the event, among other things.
The company Mosaic Vision GmbH participated with a project manager and a technical manager in the planning team led by the company Showconcept. Together, this team managed a smooth and successful implementation of the event in a comparatively short planning period of only seven and a half months.
Wagner Reloaded | Rock Opera | Arena Leipzig | 2013
A multi-media rock opera delivering a theatrical portrayal of the life and work of Richard Wagner. With musical accompaniment from the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the MDR Choir and the Finnish band Apocalyptica, ballet dancers and amateur performers performed together on an elongated central stage.
We were responsible for technical management on behalf of “Kunst.Kraft.Werk Vockerode” GmbH. Accommodating a symphony orchestra on a three-storey frame, a stage more than 50 metres in length, key stage elements on movable ceiling tracks and an audience on cube seating were some, but by no means all, of the challenges we had to tackle.
FarbArena | Trade Fair for Crafts | Arena Leipzig | 2015/2017
In 2015 and 2017, the group of companies “Farben Schultze”, “Engel & Jung” and “Winkler & Gräbner” organised a crafts trade fair focusing on paints, renovation, wallpaper and tools.
We were responsible for the technical planning of sound, light and rigging on behalf of the organiser as well as the approval applications and on-site technical coordination for this trade fair.
