Financial shortage brakes Burglesum Urban Development: History is waiting for a memorial!
The challenges of urban development in Bremen-Nord: civil engagement, financial bottlenecks and historical responsibility.
Financial shortage brakes Burglesum Urban Development: History is waiting for a memorial!
in Bremen there is current occasion for concern about the challenges in urban development, especially in the local office of Burglesum. A lack of financial resources brakes the implementation of necessary ideas, as the Weser courier states in a recent report. In a meeting of the advisory board committee for construction and urban development, the problem of the lack of money on the redesign of Goldbergplatz was discussed, a place of historical importance that was reminiscent of the Adolf and Martha Goldberg couple, which was murdered during the Reichspogromnacht in 1938. The citizens and the local politicians want not only a beautification of the square, but also a cenotaph for the couple, whose implementation is pushed into the background, since the financial bottlenecks in Bremen do not allow rapid progress. The Weser-Kurier was reported that a list of priorities on Goldbergplatz was created above all on the accessibility concentrated.
Where's the citizen participation? Local residents and advisory board members agree that funds from the district budget have to be invested because generous grants cannot be assumed. The local office manager Florian Boehlke and advisory board spokeswoman Maren Wolter emphasize the commitment of the residents and demand more responsibility from the Office for Street and Transport in the design. A visit to Goldbergplatz with citizens: Martin Hornhues suggested to create a realistic list of priorities together. The high expectations of the population are understandable after years of discussions.
Standstill in construction projects
Another problem child is the Lesumblick project on Burger Heerstrasse, which has been still standing for four years. Five residential buildings, a senior residential complex and additional commercial space were planned, but contaminated sites in the ground and an old pond brake the projects that need to be continued. The development that has been stagnating for some time is on the brink and leads to frustrations within the community.
progress is also important in the center of the local office based on planned changes. The securing of the development and open space structure in a 20 hectare residential area, combined with a partial cancellation of the development plan "Friedehorst", could contribute to the development of a socially ecological inclusion district and even produce a new primary school for Lesum.
anti -Semitism in Bremen
Leon Klepikow, a 23-year-old Jewish Bremer, confirms that many Jewish young people are encouraged to keep their religion secret out of fear of hostility. In the past, he personally experienced anti -Semitic attacks and is actively involved in Jewish educational work. The development has been even more alarming since October 7, 2023, the day of the Hamas attack on Israel when the intensity of the hostility has increased significantly. In many areas, also at schools and universities, the public space is shaped by tensions that represent a threat to Jewish life in the city.
society is facing a double challenge here: urban development in Burglesum urgently needs fresh resources and creative solutions, while a growing problem of anti -Semitism has to be mastered. The committed dialogue and the active participation of the citizens are essential to ensure the quality of life and security for all Bremeners.
