Renovation of the Schlossstadion: Grevenbroich is taking the next step!

A lot is happening in Grevenbroich: On June 27th, Mayor Klaus Krützen presented the renovation of the castle stadium, a project that is intended to improve the sports location. After the household security has been withdrawn, the extensive work on the sports facility is now really starting. The city wants to take a step towards functional improvement and long-term development for sports clubs and citizens. Loud Lokalklick.eu The goal is to create a sustainable stadium for school and club sports as well as for major sporting events.

An external inspection of the stands confirmed that there are no acute dangers, although there is a need for renovation of the concrete, joints and areas of corrosion. Therefore, targeted repairs to the damage and the installation of a non-slip coating on the accessible areas are planned. Construction work on the renovation will now begin in July with soil compaction, a process that is expected to last until September. These initial measures are associated with costs of around 350,000 euros, while the total costs of the project are estimated at around 3.9 million euros.

New look for the Schlossstadion

Work on the stadium itself will begin from October 2025 to March 2026. The renovation work includes, among other things, a new artificial turf pitch as well as a tartan track and new high and long jump facilities. A modern LED floodlight system will also be installed to provide athletes with optimal lighting conditions.

Things will be a little tighter for the athletes at TuS Grevenbroich during the construction phase: they have to use the small artificial turf pitch and other municipal facilities.

A visible start to construction work on the modernization is planned for spring 2026, with completion at the end of 2026.

Challenges for municipal sports facilities

This renovation falls into a broader context: According to a special survey by the German Institute for Urban Studies, many municipalities show a high interest in keeping their sports facilities attractive. Nevertheless, the investment backlog in many systems is serious. Over 50% of municipalities reported that they had hardly built any new facilities in the last ten years, while around 59% reported a significant backlog of sports halls.

The modernization of the Schlossstadion is not just a single project, but reflects the growing need for investment in sports infrastructure. Grevenbroich is taking the first step towards a sustainable sports facility that is important for the entire community.
