Für die Verglasung zwischen dem Eventbereich mit vorgelagertem Foyer und dem »Rundgang der Mythen« einerseits sowie die das Foyer zum Atrium hin abschließende Festverglasung andrerseits war G30 gefordert; darüber hinaus sollte die Verglasung absturzsichernde Funktion übernehmen.
I know what is meant and am looking for a good way of expressing it! Maybe with preventing falling, but I am sure there must be better.

(need for the provision of) security railings
Haven't gone through the Spiegel article but have instead thought independently of it. You'd probably best rephrase the part of the sentence after the semi-colon along the lines of:
... ; moreover the glazing was intended to spare the need for the provision of security railings.
Architectural Hardware or Ironmongers or Ironmongery or Metalwork ...
Architectural metalworkers/fabricators, also staircase (metal), atrium bridges, ... Balustrades, Handrails, Security Railing and gates, Mezzanine flooring. ...

Probably even better without 'the provision', i.e.
'moreover, the glazing was meant to obviate the need for security railings'
