The two individual urban development measures “Kindertagesstätte am Wuhrloch” and “Redesign of Wuhrloch Park” in Neuenburg am Rhein were successfully completed. The Ministry of Regional Development and Housing supported the two projects with a total of around 1.35 million euros from the “Social Integration in the Neighborhood” program. “Neuenburg am Rhein is an excellent example of how a city and, above all, its citizens can benefit from urban development funding. Thanks to the redesign of the Wuhrloch Park with new green spaces, a medieval playground and a fun park, all age groups can enjoy their free time there,” explained Minister Nicole Razavi on the occasion of the completion of these individual urban development measures.
The urban development funding offers are of great importance and have a wide range of positive effects, said the minister: “Urban development funding brings many advantages for urban development: neighborhoods are upgraded, brownfield land is reused and urgently needed living space can be created. In addition, each funding euro triggers up to eight additional euros in follow-up investments. The regional construction industry and trades particularly benefit from this.”
Lots of space to run around in the new daycare center in the park
Neuenburg am Rhein is a growing, attractive city that is welcoming many families. In order to meet the need for additional childcare, the city has created an extraordinary wooden daycare center with the help of federal and state funding. Local raw materials, such as silver fir, were used as facade cladding. In addition, the asymmetrical gable roof of the building is covered in greenery. There is a pleasant atmosphere in the bright rooms, in which the children feel extremely comfortable in five groups on around 1,600 m². The daycare center is also very well integrated into the surrounding area, a newly created park.
Local recreation area with many highlights
At the beginning of the construction project, the existing Wuhrloch Park had significant defects. It was confusing, its waters were difficult to experience due to the indented terrain and the traffic load from the surrounding streets was very high. Today a large, sunny playing and sunbathing area dominates and the pond is directly accessible. Furthermore, the dilapidated skate park has given way to a modern fun park with calisthenics facility. This is now used by all age groups.
In addition, one of the most beautiful playgrounds in the region was created behind the chestnut garden at Wuhrloch Park thanks to the funding. The so-called medieval playground is truly unique: every piece of play equipment is made from local wood and regional natural materials. Children are invited to experience the medieval guilds of Neuchâtel in a playful way. The fishing hut, fishing tower and mill wheel are available for this purpose. The numerous play equipment also includes a climbing wall, a suspension bridge and a ropes course.
Minister Nicole Razavi said: “It is very nice that a lot of good could be achieved with the urban development funding in the Wuhrloch Park in Neuenburg am Rhein. The citizens were given a new place to live and enjoy their local recreation.”
