Stralsund in April 2026: Deep Dive into Urban Development and Construction Planning

Housing Construction and Zoning in the District of Andershof

In April 2026, Stralsund is fully engaged in improving housing supply while simultaneously creating new urban structures. A central project is Zoning Plan 71 Part II "Residential Development on Deviner Weg," located in the district of Andershof. This plan envisions a new residential complex on an area of 5.02 hectares.

The zoning plan provides for the construction of multi-family homes with a ground floor area ratio of 0.3, with building heights ranging from two to four floors. Access will be via the Deviner Weg, and Plans for Streets B and C include the enhancement of streets with roadside trees. Environmental protection measures are part of the planning, particularly for the protection of bats and birds, as well as compensation through the "Recreational Landscape Devin."

Another project, also in the district of Andershof, is the construction of five multi-family homes on a vacant plot of 16,000 square meters. This project is funded through an urban development agreement and supports inner-city development by revitalizing previously unused land.

Modernization of the Franzenshöhe Industrial Zone

In the former Volkswerft area in the central district of Franken, a new chapter is being written with the 3rd amendment to Zoning Plan 30c "Maritime Industrial Park Franzenshöhe." The planned area of 2.4 hectares will be put to new use with the construction of a shipbuilding hall measuring 35 meters in height and 120 x 130 meters in size.

The site is heavily contaminated, so encapsulation using sheet pile walls is planned. In addition, the Zuckergraben will be relocated to avoid contamination. The planning is being carried out through the standard procedure with an environmental report, and funding is managed by the urban development department without burdening the city's budget.

Energy Park and Infrastructure Measures

Another project that is being significantly advanced in April 2026 is Zoning Plan 93 "SWS Energy Park." This project plans for the construction of an 110 kV substation and a large battery to support renewable energy. The area of 5.85 hectares in the district of Lüssower Berg will be compensated through external measures in the municipality of Wendorf.

The planning was carried out through the standard procedure with public participation and disclosure, requiring only minor adjustments. The zoning plan will be adopted in April 2026, and the city-owned plots will then be transferred to the project developer.

Summary and Outlook

April 2026 marks a decisive milestone in the urban development of Stralsund. Through the implementation of zoning plans in Andershof, Franken Mitte, and Lüssower Berg, the city advances in residential construction, commercial development, and energy infrastructure. These projects not only help secure housing demand but also create new jobs and promote renewable energies. The transparent and environmentally sound planning demonstrates Stralsund's commitment to sustainable and livable urban development.
