Standstill on Kirchlinde's daycare construction site: Citizens demand answers!
In Kirchlinde, the standstill on the construction site for a kindergarten at Bockenfelder Straße 14 is causing discussions among residents and parents. The original plan was for four daycare groups to start operating here in 2025. But there has been little progress in construction for about a year. A look at the current condition shows: scaffolding is missing and changes can hardly be seen. How wirindortmund.de reported, there is no information about the status of the work from the property developer commonground MUC GmbH.
Managing director Oguz Kusdil explained that the awarding of contracts to craft businesses had to be reorganized, which delayed the process. The team is currently planning to resume construction work in mid to late August. What is particularly explosive is the fact that a residential group for people with dementia is to be accommodated in the same building. A new assessment of the building's completion is expected in the next few weeks; Experts see the specified completion year of 2025 as optimistic.
Flood of construction sites in Dortmund
The standstill in Kirchlinde is just an insight into the general situation in the Dortmund city area, where the number of construction sites is currently increasing massively. The city, the state and the Federal Republic of Germany have set the course for more investments in order to address the renovation backlog in the municipal infrastructure. Loud dortmund.de The renovation is not only aimed at improving the quality of life, but should also have a positive, sustainable impact on the residents' surroundings.
The city of Dortmund, the Dortmund municipal utilities and other companies work hand in hand to keep the burden caused by the many construction sites as low as possible. This collaboration includes the coordinated renewal of various infrastructure elements, such as canals, pipelines and roads. In the future, the measures should be implemented in one go in order to minimize interruptions in citizens' everyday lives.
Investment needs nationwide
Similar challenges exist not only in Dortmund, but throughout Germany. A look at the numbers shows that Germany is struggling with a significant backlog in infrastructure investments. How bpb.de explained, the estimated additional investment requirement amounts to around 600 billion euros. These funds are necessary for infrastructure, education, transport, housing and decarbonization. In a European comparison, Germany is in the lower midfield in terms of the overall economic investment rate.
Comprehensive renovation and new construction projects are essential for both the quality of life and the economic future of cities. The question remains whether the new approaches to financing and planning will bring the urgently needed progress. In Dortmund it is hoped that work on the daycare center will soon be in full swing again in order to offer the little citizens and their families a little more security and stability.
