City of Lüneburg buys former Lünebuch building for new administration!

The city of Lüneburg is planning a bold step! In a crucial meeting, the city council decided to buy the former “Lünebuch” building in the heart of the city center. This historic building, which has been vacant for two years, will soon become the center of the city's administration. The upper floors are to be converted into modern offices in order to centralize administration. The city wants to reduce costs and increase efficiency, as the administration is currently spread across 25 different properties, many of which are rented.

The purchase price for the building on the central market square is two million euros. The city expects the total costs for acquisition, planning and renovation to be between four and four and a half million euros. The plans stipulate that attractive areas for restaurants and businesses will be created on the ground floor in order to further enliven the cityscape. Various possible uses are currently being examined in order to fully exploit the potential of this central location.

A new chapter for Lüneburg

The “Lünebuch” building, which once housed the popular bookstore, belongs to a community of heirs and has been waiting for a new purpose since the bookstore moved. With this purchase, the city not only wants to optimize administration, but also improve the city center. The decision to centralize administration could result in significant cost savings in the long term and at the same time increase the attractiveness of the city center. The citizens of Lüneburg can be excited to see what the future holds for this historic building!
