Lehrgerüst

Also known as centering, centre, center

thumb|upright|Model of centring for a ribbed dome structure at Albrechtsburg. Centring, centre, centering, or center is a type of falsework: the temporary structure upon which the stones of an arch or vault are laid during construction. Until the keystone is inserted an arch has no strength and needs the centring to keep the voussoirs in their correct relative positions. A simple centring without a truss is called a common centring. A cross piece connecting centring frames is called a lag or bolst.
