    Abstract
    The publication presents a detailed architectural documentation and reconstruction of the impressive 1,275-years-old, three-story temple-palace of Santa Rosa Xtampak in Campeche, Mexico. The analysis of the 17 m high 50-room structure with two inner staircases revealed unusual construction principles and serious static problems preventing a planned high roof comb. The publication provides several architectural indications for different functions of the structure, which might also be used to study functions at other Maya buildings. Maps see: http://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1107
     
    Die Publikation präsentiert eine detailierte Architektur-Dokumentation und eine Bau-Rekonstruktion des etwa 1275 Jahre alten, dreigeschossigen Tempelpalastes von Santa Rosa Xtampak in Campeche, Mexiko. Die Analyse des 17 m hohen Bauwerks mit 50 Räumen und zwei Treppenhäusern zeigt ungewöhnliche Baukonstruktionen und gravierende statische Probleme, die die geplanten Dachkämme verhinderten. Die Arbeit offeriert u.a. mehrere architektonische Indikatoren zur Bestimmung von unterschiedlichen Funktionen des Bauwerks, die auch zur Funktionsbestimmung bei anderen Maya-Bauten verwendet werden können.
