The following paper addresses the experimental examination of the micro-offset-node, used in an innovative roof structure "ReFlexRoof" developed in the public funded project TimberPlan+ (research consortium led by HTWK Leipzig, Team FLEX). The structural form of the micro-offset-node, called MVK, leads back to a carpentry connection by Friedrich Zollinger. The characteristics of the MVK are described in more detail. In order to represent the load-bearing and deformation behaviour of the roof structure realistic input values for the nodal stiffness in the existing three-dimensional design model are needed. Therefore, laboratory tests on the micro-offset-node are executed at the Institute of Building Construction and Timber Structures (iBHolz, Technische Universität Braunschweig). The experimental methodology as well as observations during the experiments are presented. Based on load-deformation curves, resulting values for the strength and stiffness of the node are calculated. Apart from that, the methodical and manufacturing procedure is examined and discussed.
