New building project: 99 apartments for university hospital employees in the city!
Last week, a topping-out ceremony took place on Wieblinger Weg, which attracted around 120 guests, including numerous representatives of the city and the university hospital. This event marks a decisive step in the new construction project of a total of 99 apartments, which are being built specifically for the employees of the Heidelberg University Hospital. The apartments are intended for use from next year and, according to GGH managing director Peter Bresinski, offer urgently needed and inexpensive living space.
The entire construction project extends over a plot of around 4,500 square meters and has a total living space of 3,170 square meters. Five free-standing, L-shaped buildings with two to three floors are planned. The different types of apartments are particularly interesting: 90 of them are designed as one-room apartments with an area of 25 to 30 square meters. In addition, five larger one-room apartments and four two-room apartments with up to 52 square meters are planned. Each of the apartments will have its own bathroom and will include a compact kitchenette.
Important information about administration
Heidelberg University Hospital plans to rent and manage the 99 apartments after completion in May 2025. GGH, which is carrying out the construction project, remains responsible for the maintenance of the buildings. This collaboration is intended to ensure that the living spaces are not only available quickly, but are also maintained in perfect condition.
"With these new living options, we are creating an attractive living space in the immediate vicinity of the Medical Campus in Neuenheimer Feld and the Academy for Health Professions. This improves both the working and quality of life of our employees and helps to ensure the best possible care for our patients," explained Yvonne Dintelmann, Nursing Director at the UKHD, and emphasized the importance of this initiative for securing skilled workers in the region.
The rapid implementation of the new building project and the time span of just seven months since the groundbreaking show the desire to efficiently increase living space in Heidelberg. This development is particularly relevant in times of a tight housing market. The location also offers excellent public transport connections, which is crucial for future residents.
Overall, this measure can be seen as a positive signal that not only promotes the labor market, but also contributes to the stability and attractiveness of the region. The lack of housing is a persistent problem that such projects can gradually alleviate. Details about this incident are still sparse, but www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de reports that the realization of the project is going well.
