• Renovation of the Town Hall Underground Garage decided due to corrosion damage.
• Total costs for the restoration amount to approximately 440,000 €.

Town Hall Underground Garage: Renovation Due to Chloride Contamination

In April 2026, the steering committee New Town Hall District made key decisions regarding the renovation of the underground garage of the new town hall. The need for renovation is due to chloride contamination and corrosion damage to the octagonal pillars of the garage.

The total costs for the measures amount to approximately 440,000.00 € gross. The focus is on structural reinforcement using round concrete shells and the installation of a Cathodic Corrosion Protection System (KKS). The latter is significantly cheaper at 130,000.00 € gross compared to conventional renovation (approximately 290,000.00 € gross) and allows for long-term damage prevention through annual maintenance costs of 4,500.00 €.

The work must be carried out in accordance with § 22 GO and technical standards such as TR Maintenance, DAfStb Guideline, and DIN EN 1992-1. An accredited monitoring agency and specifically trained personnel are required to ensure the safety and quality of the renovation.

Citizen Participation Remains Central

In its second meeting in April, the steering committee also responded to the Citizen Q&A session and objections to the minutes of the previous meeting. The Mayor was tasked with implementing the requirements of the renovation concept from Engineering Office Oemig and Stark.

These steps show that the city of Büdelsdorf not only focuses on professional quality but also on transparent participation and dialogue-oriented planning. Citizens' opinions and objections remain an essential part of technical decisions as well.

Long-Term Planning: Town Hall District Remains a Focus

The approved renovation measures are being included in the overall investment cost framework, which currently amounts to 12,085,700.00 € gross. This ensures that the New Town Hall District remains a central project in municipal policy.

The investment in the underground garage is not only a matter of infrastructure, but also a building block for sustainability and longevity. The city is relying on technically sound solutions that are intended to last for years to come.

Overview: Balancing Stability and Innovation

The decisions made in April show how Büdelsdorf balances technical necessity and citizen participation. The town hall underground garage is an example of how innovation and sustainability can be combined in municipal projects.

In addition, it is evident that the city proceeds clearly structured and transparently even in financially complex decisions. The inclusion of citizens and experts remains a central aspect in order to build long-term trust.

Conclusion and Outlook

April 2026 in Büdelsdorf was marked by technical decisions, citizen participation, and long-term planning. The town hall underground garage is now a project that will be implemented concretely in the coming months.

In May, it will become clear how the renovation work will be actively advanced and whether further citizen opinions will influence the implementation. The city has clearly opted for sustainable and transparent solutions – a path that will continue to be pursued in the future.
