New rescue station in Jüchen: Better care for all parts of the city!

In an important step for emergency care in the region, the city of Jüchen and the Rhein-Kreis Neuss have signed a rental agreement for a new rescue station. This agreement was officially sealed today, July 18, 2025, by District Administrator Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke and Mayor Harald Zillikens. The new station is to be built on the fire station on Kelzenberger Strasse, which will significantly improve supplies for the population.

Construction of the rescue station, which will provide space for a second ambulance and additional staff, is scheduled for next year 2026. The city council had already approved the corresponding development plan in 2024. The guard is expected to be completed in 2027. The new central location next to the fire station will significantly optimize accessibility to the western and northern parts of the city.

Create synergies

The decision to combine fire and rescue services on one site is based on the belief that this can lead to synergy effects in operations. The aim is to make processes more efficient and shorten response times in an emergency. The previous rescue station, which was located in the commercial area on Neusser Strasse, was no longer up to date and met the requirements of modern emergency care.
