Heiligenhafen plans beach club: progress despite resistance!
In Heiligenhafen, the city council's latest decision is causing a stir. A proposal from the Sparkasse real estate company Holstein for residential development on the site of former apartments on Lütjenburger Weg did not receive the approval of the city council. The investor's presentation left many questions unanswered and moved the representatives to a clear rejection. BfH spokesman Simon Schulz pointed out that the investor was not sufficiently passionate about the project. “We do need housing, but not at any price,” said Schulz.
The area, which is seen as the last large area for residential development in Heiligenhafen, would have offered potential opportunities. However, the city council's fears that the apartments on offer would serve more as second homes led to the concept being rejected. Monika Rübenkamp from the SPD added that only a few Heiligenhafen residents could afford the high prices. This means that the plans for the development remain on hold while the city council decides on a well-thought-out solution.
Progress at the beach club
The location of the beach club is viewed critically by some group members. Manfred Ebken from TÖP said that although the idea was fundamentally positive, the location might not be the right one for such a project. Nevertheless, the project received the necessary green light from most political groups. This shows a certain flexibility and willingness to promote new entertainment offerings in the region.
In addition, the city council has approved the sale of land by a community of heirs in order to develop the new “Bocksberg” development area south of Priwallstrasse. Mayor Kuno Brandt emphasized how rare such opportunities would be: “Something like this happens very rarely.” This could create new opportunities for the city, although it will still be some time before the first excavators roll here.
Another central topic is the debate about the parking situation in Heiligenhafen. As part of an audit, it is now being examined how parking on the market square can be organized, especially since uninhibited parking there has been considered problematic for some time. Sebastian Rohde from the CDU called for more order in order to revive the situation in the city center. While a heated discussion broke out about the advantages and disadvantages of car-free inner cities, the majority of the test order was handed over to the administration.
This shows that Heiligenhafen is in a crucial phase. The city council is trying to master the balancing act between the need for living space and taking residents' interests into account. At the same time, future-oriented projects such as the beach club are also being discussed, which could strengthen the attractiveness of the coastal city.
