Light in the roof café Gießen: Hope for reopening disappointed!

in the Gießen roof café, which has long been a popular place for many visitors, only burns. The last glimmer of hope for an early reopening were now dampened by Wohnbau Gießen GmbH. Those responsible confirmed that the search for a new tenant will not be completed until 2025. This news stirs up irritation among the residents who often stay in front of the building in the evening and ask themselves whether a new chapter may be opened here soon.

While the Gießeners deal with the nowhere phase of the roof café, the reason for the burning sensation of light remains simple in nature: it is only an emergency lighting that must remain in times of completion, according to the press spokeswoman Vanessa Thamer. However, the café's evacuation process is progressing and should be completed by the end of October 2024.

Current status of the concerns

Wohnbau Gießen GmbH, the owner of the building, is currently preparing the tender for a new tenant. "We take all available applications into account," Thamer continues. The former roof café could not be operated on at the beginning of 2024 after an bankruptcy application was made. Customers and interested parties are now wondering when and whether the doors of the historic house will be opened again. The continuing uncertainty about future use awakens memories of past days when the café was a popular meeting place.

The discussions about the future of the place are lively. Gießen has an active community that is interested in cultural offers. The roof café was a symbol of socializing and community, and many are eagerly awaiting news for a possible reopening. The urban decision on how to proceed with the restaurant must be carefully weighed in view of the serious disinterest of a new tenant choice. As soon as the spatial conditions are prepared, the search for a new operator could be made easier.

The question remains whether the next tenant will continue the tradition of the roof café or whether a realignment of the concept is considered. The integration of new ideas could meet both existing and future visitors and expand the space for the Gießen community. The search is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to rethink common expectations.

Until it comes to decisions and new developments are announced, the Gießeners still have to put up with the uncertainty associated with the closure of the roof café. Residents and potential guests are excited to see which direction the former café could take.
