Bielefeld's future: New residential quarters and fire station in the barracks area!

The city of Bielefeld has now received the binding promise of the federal government to be able to use the former British barracks in the east of the city. This decision, which was announced on Monday afternoon (October 21), means that the city will be made available to the majority of the areas free of charge. This possibility opens up new perspectives in urban development and the creation of living space for the city.

A central concern of the city administration is the construction of new residential quarters. The planning includes two new residential complexes that are to be built on Oldentruper and Detmolder Straße. The specific plans for this have already been developed and could soon be implemented. This project is a significant development, since Bielefeld rely on additional living options in order to meet the growing need.

The existing infrastructures are also maintained. The federal police will continue to be able to use their training center at the Catterick barracks by 2032, which is an important measure for the security and training of the administrative organs. A new fire and rescue station on the hunting path is also built in the immediate vicinity, which is intended to optimize emergency care in Bielefeld. The extensive construction projects planned for the coming years should usually be completed in the 2030s.

The agreement on the use of the former barracks leads to an intensive discussion about the future design of the district. The project is the focus of urban design and could significantly contribute to the quality of life of the Bielefeld population. The combination of new living space and improved infrastructure could therefore be of great importance not only for the city, but also for the people living there.
