Mayor Franz Pirolt is happy about the progress in the municipality of Strasbourg, especially about the new “Fun Court”, which is currently being built in the city. This multifunctional sports field, which is being built at the old location of the football training ground, will significantly expand the sporting offer in the community. It is already clear how important such projects are for community life. "There are opportunities for tennis, football, basketball or volleyball, but also special devices for calisthenics. The Fun Court promotes movement and social exchange," explains Pirolt.

The total costs for the “Strasbourg moves” project amount to 210,000 euros, although fortunately around 130,000 euros could be secured from the leader program. This is a good example of how public funding is used to make something positive in the community. In addition, a special range of sports for kindergarten children is planned by spring 2025, which underlines the commitment to the younger generation.

educational projects assume form

Another progress that makes city head Pirolt proud is the start of construction of the new education center, which was carried out this summer. Not only existing school rooms are modernized here, but also new areas for elementary and middle school as well as a crèche are created. An additional event space is to round off the offer. "We are well on schedule and I am grateful for the companies involved for the fluent cooperation," continues Pirolt. The overall project has a budget of over 13 million euros and will be completed by the school year 2025.

In addition, Pirolt announces that a new tank fire engine will be delivered to the local fire brigade in spring 2025. This shows that not only in the field of education, but also in the security infrastructure of the community.

Advent anticipation in Strasbourg

The citizens of Strasbourg can also look forward to the upcoming Advent market on December 6th. Mayor Pirolt points out that the market will be smaller this year. The focus here is on the children, with both schools and kindergartens actively involved. "The reserved planning is due to the current challenges. I hope for a larger program for Easter," Pirolt says his careful expectations.
