Joy of joy in meetings: New sports facility after flooding opened!

This day, June 1, 2025, a new multi-sports facility was ceremoniously opened in meetings. This facility, which was badly damaged by the flood events in 2022, is now a sign of the reconstruction and sustainable development of the region. The total costs for the renovation amount to around 4.3 million euros, with 1.2 million euros from the sports department and other funds from the federal and the municipality's disaster protection fund. At the ceremonial opening, numerous prominent guests were present, including Governor Peter Kaiser and State Councilor Daniel Fellner, who arrived spectacularly with a parag leader.

Kaiser took the opportunity to emphasize the cohesion of the community and emphasize the sustainability of the new facility. State sports director Arno Arthofer described this day as the beginning of a new sporting era for the SV. In his speech, Mayor Glanznig reflected the difficult times after the weather for the century and emphasized the solidarity of the community that contributed to the revitalization of the sports facilities.

reconstruction and renovation

The flood events led to extensive damage to two soccer fields, hockey and stock sports facilities and the club building, which temporarily brought the entire game and training company to a standstill. Thanks to extensive renovation measures, sports such as football, basketball, street hockey, ice hockey, street soccer and stock sports can now be operated again. In addition, new premises for local associations were created, which further strengthens social cohesion.

This opening falls into a broader context of reconstruction according to natural disasters, as the publication of a new practice guidelines from the German Institute for Urban Studies (Difu) shows. The guide, which was published on March 31, 2025, is entitled "After the flood disaster: Chance for Change" and offers practice -oriented recommendations for action for affected municipalities. The aim is not only to restore the previous conditions, but also to create sustainable and resilient structures that are tailored to the respective local conditions. It is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and is available free of charge, which means that comprehensive resources are available to the municipalities.

sustainable urban development

The reconstruction of meetings fits the larger trend of sustainable urban development, which gains importance at a global level. According to a study by the Federal Center for Political Education, the population in cities will continue to grow, which increases the need to make urban living space sustainable. Basic questions are how resources can be used efficiently and social inequalities can be addressed. The guideline from the DIFU asks important questions about resilience and shows that social sustainability is often neglected, even though it is crucial for the quality of life of the city dwellers.

The challenges to be mastered as part of this sustainable urban development are diverse. These include air pollution from fossil energies, the endangerment of green zones and the lack of water due to climate change. It is increasingly recognized that political and social engagement for the implementation of sustainable development is becoming more important, but the practical implementation often remains behind the expectations.
