Höxter is fighting for millions: renovation of sports facilities is pending!
Something is happening in the area of sports facility development in Höxter. The CDU parliamentary group has submitted a proposal to update the sports facility development concept in order to ensure participation in the new federal program “Renovation of municipal sports facilities”. This was reported by [hoexter-news.de]. Group leader Edison Buch emphasizes that they want to take care of federal funding in a timely manner. The aim is an updated list of priorities for renovation and development measures together with local clubs, schools and the city sports association.
The new federal program, which provides around 333 million euros for investment measures in municipal sports facilities, focuses on sustainability, accessibility and cohesion within society. This was supported by information from the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction. The funding can be applied for until January 15, 2026, provided that a council decision is in place.
Planned projects and development
According to the CDU parliamentary group, various projects are on the list, including the artificial turf field in Brenkhausen, the renovation of the artificial turf field in Höxter, the relocation of the sports field in Godelheim, the renovation of the sports hall in Stahle and the renovation of the gymnasiums at primary school locations. The book emphasizes the importance of a current, technically sound concept. Only projects that are prioritized in the updated concept should be taken into account.
Fabian Thomas, another member of the CDU parliamentary group, emphasizes that it is about signaling a strategic interest. This is crucial in order to position the city of Höxter in the best possible way in the selection process for funding. The continuation of the concept is seen as an essential step for sustainable sports development in Höxter.
Federal funding opportunities
The federal program provides greater funds to modernize old sports facilities and make them barrier-free. It is planned that up to one billion euros will be available for such measures in this legislative period, as reported on bmwsb.bund.de. The focus is on the energy-efficient renovation of sports facilities and the conversion into sustainable outdoor sports facilities, such as artificial turf pitches.
Overall, everything suggests that Höxter's future in sports facilities could be on solid footing if the right steps are taken. The combined effort of the city, clubs and the city sports association could provide the city with first-class infrastructure while promoting social cohesion.
This all comes at a time when the need for well-planned sports infrastructure is becoming increasingly clear. Höxter could be taking the first step in a promising direction that will allow both the sport and the community to flourish.
