Record promotion for Kiel's beach town: 1,000 new jobs in sight!

Kiel-Friedrichsort, Deutschland - The commercial and industrial area "Strandort Kiel-Friedrichsort" is supported by the state of Schleswig-Holstein with a record promotion of almost 20 million euros. Economic Minister Claus Ruhe Madsen (CDU) handed over the funding notice to Mayor Ulf Kämpfer (SPD) on Tuesday. This financial support represents the largest individual grant in the country for the recycling of commercial space. href = "https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/ekordfoerderung-fuer-strandort-kiel-friedrichsort, Regionkielnews1744.html"> ndr.de reported. The start of construction is planned for 2025.

The area itself has a long history of around 150 years and has been managed by the LHKiel since mid -2020. Within the next eight to ten years, around 50 million euros are to be invested in the extensive renovation of the area, as kielaktuell.com . There are around 30 halls on an area of 34 hectares, including the Caterpillar headquarters. An important aspect of revitalization will be the commissioning of the track connections and a mobility concept that is intended to regulate the transport of heavy load vehicles into the area. The plans also provide for some of the old halls to be torn down to make room for the new use.

The new vision for Friedrichsort

With the “Strandort” project, a significant focus is on the development of industrial locations. The area, which is limited in the south by Falckensteiner Straße and Caterpillar, offers clear advantages in the settlement of producing industry, especially since in Germany the designation of new industrial areas is becoming increasingly difficult. The revitalization of the old industrial area scores with the possibility of efficiently using existing areas and brings a breath of fresh air to the region. While the halls are partially integrated into nature and exude a romantic charm, they are currently faced with the challenge of a comprehensive redesign.
