📋 Tender Overview
This year, the Free State of Bavaria is supporting 44 towns, markets and communities in Swabia with over twelve million euros from the Bavarian urban development funding program. Bavaria's Minister of Construction Christian Bernreiter : "With these funds, we are supporting municipal investments in climate protection. Because one of the main concerns of urban development funding is to preserve grey energy and further develop the existing building stock. In this way, Bavarian municipalities can use our funding to efficiently conserve resources and save energy."
With around 90 million euros, the state urban development funding program remains a reliable partner for Bavarian cities, markets and communities. "The flexibility of Bavarian urban development funding is almost proverbial," says Bernreiter. "Whether a community wants to create new living space in vacant buildings, breathe new life into industrial and commercial wastelands, or keep the town center attractive in the long term: we actively support them. We also have a particular focus on communities in rural areas. That's where more than 85 percent of our funding goes."
In addition to maintaining existing buildings, this year the focus is again on measures to save energy and greenhouse gases, whereby urban development funding contributes to climate and resource protection. With the funding initiative "Using vacant properties - creating living space", for example, vacant buildings in the town center can be renovated so that they can then be used as living space for the population again. With the "Climate Changes City Center" initiative for climate-friendly inner-city development, the Free State is specifically supporting Bavarian cities, markets and communities in adapting settlement structures to the consequences of climate change.
In Oettingen, the renovation and revitalization work on the Gasthof Krone is coming to an end. The adjacent Saumarkt is now also being redesigned. Outside of events, the multifunctional square is to be transformed into an attractive, green space with a high quality of stay between the old town and the Hofgarten. Krone and the surrounding area are receiving urban development funding as part of the “Inside instead of outside” initiative.
The municipality of Buxheim is converting the historic “Löwen” inn into a community center. In addition to meeting rooms, a village shop and a self-run café provide basic supplies in the center of town. A spacious garden area complements the range of meeting and event options.
With the "Old School" in Bösenreutin , a part of the municipality of Sigmarszell , the renovation and expansion of a wood-shingled building that is a defining feature of the townscape and has great local historical significance is being supported with urban development funding. The social meeting place in Bösenreutin will be designed to be barrier-free and will offer a variety of rooms for clubs.
