Fresh paint for Wilhelmstrasse: underpass shines new
The underpass on Wilhelmstrasse in Hamm receives a new face, through numerous initiatives from private economy. These measures are not only cosmetic, but they also contribute to the revival of the cityscape and to improve the quality of life of the residents.
private initiatives bring color into play
The Westphalian company W. Dirks and Sohn GmbH has decided to take over the painting of 64 Fachs and 35 steel supports in the underpass. This happens without public funds and is already the third time that the company tackles such a project. The artistic aspect is supplemented by the choice of living colors for the pillars and unanimous bright paint for the walls under the railway tracks.
from the Christmas donation campaign for implementation
Due to financial bottlenecks, the city of Hamm was originally forced to suspend more extensive renovation measures due to financial bottlenecks in 2022. Citizens and the CDU parliamentary group, which had expressed their support two years earlier, put pressure on changes. The desire for a more attractive environment was reflected in initiatives that were made up of different social groups.A joint project to strengthen the cityscape
The project to refresh the underpass goes beyond the outstanding responsibility of W. Dirks and son. The WDI also participates with a donation of 3,000 euros. These collective efforts aim to visually upgrade the underpass and show the residents that their concerns are heard.
new image boards and better lighting
In addition to painting, a number of new image boards are also installed on the initiative of the city planning office and in cooperation with various local organizations such as the municipal job center and the youth work. These boards are said to replace old, less appealing motifs that have been in the underpass since 2013. The inauguration is planned for August 22nd. At the same time, the lighting of the walking and cycle paths is also improved, which contributes to increased security and better use of these traffic routes.look into the future
Although the railway has so far not provided financial means to support the renovation work, the surrounding companies and the community show that commitment and cooperation can cause positive changes. The facelift of Wilhelmstrasse could be a remarkable first step on the way to the full redesign of the area and make the "gateway to the West" an inviting connection within the city.
