New park on the banks of the Rhine: Speyer turns former Erlus site!

Speyer, Deutschland - Speyer soon shines in new splendor! Construction of an impressive park on the former Erlus site began on the banks of the Rhine. The final work in the new “Am River” district is in full swing and are expected to be completed by spring 2025. After over a decade of hard work, the 170 million euro project is now being brought to life!

In the middle of the five striking quarters with around 350 residential units, the “Alte Ziegelei” access road is currently being asphalted. Steffen Rink, the technical project supervisor, proudly reports on the progress: "Then only the marking work will follow." On the water side, Indurec GmbH has already removed 200 -meter -long sheet pile elements, which have been drought since construction work began over ten years ago. These measures are crucial to integrate the new flood protection devices that are supposed to protect the residents up to a Rhine level of eleven meters.

a park for everyone!

On an area of 3,000 square meters, a public park is created with walking paths, numerous seating and a large play and movement park. 100 new trees are also planted here! The detailed planning comes from the renowned landscape gardener office Topotek 1 from Berlin, which is regularly on site to monitor the implementation. The Speyer city administration is also involved in planning to ensure that the park meets the needs of the citizens.

After completion, the city's park is handed over and gets an official name. While the German residential values will take care of care for the next three years, it remains unclear how high the maintenance costs will be. Project manager Rink looks optimistically into the future: "The residents are satisfied with the quality!" Despite some critical voices on the height and parking situation, Rink is convinced that the new neighborhood is a complete success. "The German living values would do everything here again," he emphasizes proudly.
