DGH Dillbrecht: Sale Procedure Initiated

The Dillbrecht Community Center (DGH) has been a central topic of municipal planning in March 2026. The Lahn-Dill District has commissioned architects to develop renovation and redesign plans. Mayor Mario Schramm emphasized that the city is not under time pressure with the sale and that the process will be carried out properly and step by step. A public information event is planned after the Hessian Easter holidays.

Renovation and Relocation: Kindergarten Weidelbach

As part of the roof renovation work, the Weidelbach kindergarten will temporarily relocate to the community hall. The work begins next Friday, and the move will be closely coordinated with parents and staff. The city stresses that safety and the quality of care will remain guaranteed during the relocation.

Digitalization and Building Procedures: Modernization at the Town Hall

The CDU faction's proposal for the digitalization of building procedures was approved by a large majority. This decision advances a modern administrative process that is intended to be more transparent and efficient for residents and builders. This is another step to position Haiger as a forward-looking municipality.

Winter Maintenance and Environment: Sustainability in Focus

The Main and Finance Committee has decided to review the winter maintenance plan to ensure that side streets and small alleys are also considered in the event of snowfall. Additionally, the weir in the Haigerbach at Rodenbacherstraße was removed at the request of the state of Hesse to enable fish migration. This reflects the commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly measures.

Economic Plan and Safety Management: Municipal Utilities on Track

The economic plan of Haiger Municipal Utilities was approved by the municipal oversight authority, and the TSM certification (Technical Safety Management) for the gas and water sectors has been successfully completed. This documents the high quality and reliability of the city's utility services.

Cross-Cutting Developments: Urban Development and Citizen Participation

Citizen Participation and Transparency

The discussions around the DGH Dillbrecht demonstrate how important transparency and citizen participation are in municipal decision-making processes. The planned information event after the Easter holidays is another step to actively involve residents in the planning process. In addition, the responsibility for convening a town meeting in the HGO is being clarified.

Municipal Coordination and Planning

The cooperation with the Lahn-Dill District, particularly regarding the sale of municipal properties, highlights the importance of coordination at the district and city level. These partnerships are essential for efficient and sustainable urban development.

Conclusion with Outlook

March 2026 in Haiger was characterized by clear decisions in the areas of administration, planning, and digitalization. The city demonstrates a citizen-friendly, transparent, and forward-looking approach. The sale of the DGH Dillbrecht, the renovation of the Weidelbach kindergarten, and the modernization of building procedures are important milestones that directly affect residents' everyday lives. April will primarily focus on the implementation of these decisions and the planned public information. Haiger is moving along a clear course—with an eye on sustainability, safety, and citizen participation.
