Renovation of the Höxter underground car park begins: parking is becoming complicated!

The city of Höxter is in the starting blocks for a comprehensive renovation of the Uferstraße underground car park. From then onAugust 18, 2025is being tackled vigorously there. As nw.de reports, the renovation will particularly affect the ceilings, pillars and supports of the underground car park. The aim is to ensure the long-term safety and functionality of this important parking area.

Already offtoday, August 14th, the construction site equipment is being prepared. These measures will lead to a partial closure of the underground car park and restrictions on use are to be expected during the construction phase. Fortunately, around half of the parking spaces remain for users. However, pedestrians should be prepared that access will be partially restricted.

Restrictions for residents and commuters

The city of Höxter has advised using alternative parking options. This is where the parking spaces at Brückfeld and Floßplatz come into play. These recommendations are particularly important because the construction work could significantly impact the inner-city parking situation. In this context, the situation around the Volksbank underground car park on Möllingerstrasse is no less problematic. This was immediately closed to public use due to significant age-related defects, as [meine-onlinezeitung.de](https://www.meine-onlinezeitung.de/region-aktiv/44152-ab-sofort-nutz-untersagen-volksbank-tiefgarage-in-hoexter-muss-treibd-saniert- Werden) reported.

The closure of this garage brings with it additional difficulties, as the structural condition required immediate measures, which were also enacted by the city of Höxter. The top priority is user safety. Therefore, extensive renovation work is also necessary here. Specific details about the duration and process of these measures are not yet known, but a longer closure is to be expected.

The challenges of renovation

The renovation of the underground car park is anything but a walk in the park. Experts know that it's not just superficial problems that need to be addressed. Complaints about corrosion of reinforcing steel, particularly from registered de-icing salts, must be taken seriously. As kraft-santec.de explains, such corrosion can massively affect the structure of the concrete and lead to a statistical risk.

The city of Höxter has assured Volksbank of support in finding alternative parking options, even if there is no precise information on this yet. The coming months will show how well the renovations are progressing. Until the work is expected to be completed at the end of November, the nerves of the citizens will be tested as the situation in inner-city traffic could worsen further.

We will keep you updated and hope that the measures will be implemented quickly and smoothly so that the underground car park can soon contribute to normal life in the city again.
