Delligsen in April 2026: Construction Projects, Renovations and New Structures

Infrastructure and Fire Protection in the Spotlight

Important Decisions for Delligsen

What was important this month:

• The construction of a new fire station in Varrigsen was decided.
• The street lighting network of the villages Grünenplan and Hohenbüchen was sold to Westfalen-Weser-Netz GmbH.
• The toilet facility at Grünenplan Primary School will be renovated.
• Three new officers for the Volunteer Fire Department were appointed.
• The retaining walls at Delligsen Cemetery and the terracing at Ammensen Cemetery will be renovated.

Fire Department: New Construction and Personnel

April 2026 was marked by important decisions regarding fire protection. In both meetings of the Construction and Planning Committee as well as the Public Order Committee, the construction of a new fire station in Varrigsen on the pitch field grounds was unanimously approved. The planning costs will be included in the 2027 budget to advance the process.

In addition, three new officers were appointed for the Volunteer Fire Department:

• Michael Härtel as Fire Chief of Varrigsen
• Jan Dario Vogt as Deputy Fire Chief of Kaierde
• Felix Ehlers as Deputy Fire Chief of Ammensen

These personnel decisions form the legal framework according to § 20 of the Lower Saxony Fire Protection Act and strengthen the organizational structure of the fire department in the Flickens region.

School Construction and Renovations

Another key topic was the renovation at Grünenplan Primary School, particularly in the old building section. The local council unanimously decided to renovate the toilet facility. The work includes the replacement of windows, pipelines and underground construction, as well as the installation of new vinyl flooring and painting. The costs are estimated at 100,000 €, with 25,000 € provided from the 2027 budget.

These measures are part of a long-term strategy to ensure the infrastructure of municipal educational institutions and to provide students with better learning conditions.

Administrative Decisions and Infrastructure

The sale of the street lighting network to Westfalen-Weser-Netz GmbH for 22,184.00 € is a milestone in municipal energy policy. The transfer is done via purchase, with the network company being responsible for network maintenance costs, but not for the operating costs of the street lights. The valuation of the network was carried out by an accounting firm, which determined a current replacement value of 1,340,751 €.

In addition, the renovation of the retaining walls at Delligsen Cemetery and the terracing at Ammensen Cemetery was approved. With costs of 30,000 € each, these measures are budgeted for 2026.

Municipal Responsibility and Citizen Participation

The decisions of April show how closely the municipality is connected to the needs of its citizens. Whether in fire protection organization, school renovations or energy supply, the measures are aimed at sustainability and long-term planning. In addition, Mrs. Kerstin Gattermann-Schrock was appointed as mediator for District II of the Mediation Office, further strengthening local conflict resolution.

Outlook

May 2026 will show how quickly the decided projects move into implementation. In particular, the development of the fire station in Varrigsen and the renovation work at the primary school will be closely watched. In addition, the question of whether the Tante Enso Market will reopen after a renovation remains in the focus of the citizens.

Conclusion with Outlook

April 2026 was a month of clear decisions and long-term investments. The municipality of Delligsen proves with these measures that it takes both the safety of its citizens and the quality of its infrastructure seriously. The next weeks and months will show how these projects are specifically advanced – and whether further initiatives follow.
