Construction site chaos in Neumünster: Johannisstraße closed until August!

In Neumünster, two streets will be closed for several months from June 23rd: Johannisstrasse and Mozartstrasse will have to undergo extensive renovation due to important construction work on the district heating pipes. How KN Online reported, the work on Johannisstrasse is particularly important as it had to be interrupted in February due to faulty components. A leak, indicated by steam escaping near the station buildings, was located but could not be immediately remedied. Now the project is picking up speed again.

The special sticking point: In order to replace the defective parts, the asphalt under the road is removed, which results in temporary traffic disruptions. Drivers are only allowed access from Johannisstrasse to Mittelstrasse. You have to be prepared for longer waiting times, while pedestrians and cyclists can pass through the construction site at any time. “We are doing our best to keep the disruption as low as possible,” promises a representative of Stadtwerke Neumünster (SWN).

Renovation measures and new construction sites

Parallel to Johannisstrasse, there is also work in the Böcklersiedlung on Mozartstrasse. The district heating network there is being converted from steam to heating water, which makes a closure between Färberstrasse and Bachstrasse necessary. This measure is expected to be completed by the end of October 2025. There is only limited access to residents on Mozartstrasse during the construction work. Pedestrians and cyclists can also move around here unhindered.

A sustainable concern behind the construction sites: The renovation measures aim to reduce the buildings' energy requirements in the long term. Information about relevant heat supply options is available on the city website. The municipality recommends seeking advice from energy consultants, craft businesses or consumer advice centers in order to develop individual renovation plans. How on Neumünster.de As can be read, homeowners can not only increase the energy efficiency of their properties through these measures, but may also benefit from increased funding rates.

Energy new paths

In this context, the use of cold heating networks is playing an increasingly important role. Leadership competence in heat supply is not just a question of technology, but also of environmental awareness. Cold heating networks, which typically operate at temperatures below 25 °C and use energy from environmentally friendly sources, show a lot of potential. These systems can be supplemented by decentralized heat pumps, which efficiently provide the necessary heat for each building. It's worth taking a look at innovative heat supply strategies Berlin.de is explained.

The challenges during the construction work are certain, but they are also a step in the right direction for a modern and sustainable heat supply in Neumünster. Residents and road users will have to prepare for restrictions in the coming months, but at the same time they can hope for a future-oriented infrastructure.
