Financing problems are slowing down TSG Erlensee's hall expansion!
The expansion of the tennis and ball sports hall in Erlensee has been delayed due to financing problems and uncertain funding.
Financing problems are slowing down TSG Erlensee's hall expansion!
In Erlensee, on Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, the Erlensee gymnastics and sports community (TSGE) is eagerly awaiting the eagerly awaited addition to its tennis and ball sports hall. This project is the most important undertaking with over 2,000 members of the TSGE, but has stalled due to financial hurdles. The groundbreaking ceremony, originally planned for the summer of 2025, will not take place because there are no loan commitments and the funding is uncertain. So reported op online that there are also problems with the necessary loan agreements.
The total costs for the extension are estimated at around 3.6 million euros. The club plans to cover over two million euros through a loan. Financing will also come from state funds, supplemented by a district grant of 200,000 euros and one million euros from the city of Erlensee. Nevertheless, the Darmstadt regional council did not approve the award of the contract to a main contractor, which led to a drastic reduction in funding from 400,000 euros to 100,000 euros.
Different approaches to sports hall construction
The expansion is of great importance for TSGE as the lack of space in the existing hall is becoming more pressing. This was put into operation in 1993 and is now to be expanded to include 1,800 square meters of additional space for gymnastics and martial arts as well as new fitness rooms and a modern office. In order to advance the project, various elements should be taken into account, such as: Sports facility calculator explained.
There are various steps in sports hall construction that may have to be completed in Erlensee before implementation. A precise determination of needs, location analysis, as well as cost estimation and creation of a financing concept are essential points that are crucial for the construction of a successful sports facility.
The path to implementation
The TSGE carried out the first clearing work on the planned construction site in February 2025 in order to get the cultivation going. But the revised building application could not be submitted in time due to illness. To ensure that the TSGE does not become entangled in this obligation, an application has already been submitted to transfer the grant from 2025 to 2026, which somewhat dampens hopes that the project will be realized soon.
Overall, it appears that the difficulties the club is now experiencing can be observed in many similar cases when building sports halls. The financial and bureaucratic hurdles can often cause extensive delays. Nevertheless, TSGE remains optimistic that it will soon be able to implement its long-term plans.
