Groundbreaking is a traditional ceremony in many cultures that celebrates the first day of construction for a building or other project. Such ceremonies are often attended by dignitaries such as politicians and businessmen. The actual shovel used during the actual groundbreaking is often a special ceremonial shovel meant to be saved for subsequent display.

  • Groundbreaking is a traditional ceremony in many cultures that celebrates the first day of construction for a building or other project. Such ceremonies are often attended by dignitaries such as politicians and businessmen. The actual shovel used during the actual groundbreaking is often a special ceremonial shovel meant to be saved for subsequent display. Commemorative information may be subsequently engraved on the shovel. Ceremonial groundbreakings often precede the actual start of construction by many months. In some places, clergy may also provide blessings, particularly if the building is being constructed by a church or religious-affiliated organization.
  • „Erster Spatenstich“ (in der Schweiz, Österreich und Süddeutschland nur „Spatenstich“) ist ein feststehender Ausdruck für den Beginn der Arbeiten auf einer Baustelle. Der erste Spatenstich wird meist in einem Festakt als symbolische Handlung ausgeführt.
