Katzenelnbogen: Cemetery is brought up to scratch - citizens are skeptical!

The abbey cemetery "Am Hüttenwald" in Katzenelnbogen has recently gained attention. According to the Rhein-Zeitung was the condition of the cemetery, which is located in one of the oldest cities in the Rhein-Lahn district in need of renovation. Mayor Petra Popp commented on the critical questions of residents and therefore took measures to improve the area.

In order to counteract the poor condition of the cemetery, a company was commissioned to remove both fallen and fallen -prone trees. In addition, undergrowth and undesirable vegetation are removed. These steps are part of a larger initiative of the city of Katzenelnbogen to generally upgrade the urban environment and to increase the quality of life for the residents.

funding programs and urban development

As part of the funding program "Living Centers - Active City", Katzenelnbogen was launched in July 2021. The aim of this program, as the City of Katzenelnbogen , it is to significantly improve the cityscape and the infrastructure. For the implementation of this vision, a planning office was commissioned to create a development strategic design.

Overall, the planned measures amount to a total of 5.9 million euros, with 70 % of these costs covered by grants from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Particular importance is placed on the support of private modernization measures. One component of this program is the development of a modernization guideline that defines the criteria for promoting private investments.

planned measures and future developments

The main plans include improving the connection from the Weiherwiese car park to the city center and the design of an attractive place. An on -site appointment with various representatives clarified many organizational and legal questions about implementation.

A remarkable project is the development of the Dörsbach between the Zorn bakery and the Klockhaus flower house, which is supposed to serve as a meeting point. A new footpath along the Dörsbach to the Weiherwiese is also planned to create safe approaches and further promote the structure and attractiveness of the city.

The initiative for the renovation of the cemetery and the comprehensive urban planning measures show the commitment of the city of Katzenelnbogen to meet the needs of its 2169 inhabitants. With a clear focus on sustainable development and a high quality of life, the way is now being paved into a positive future.
