Construction of the new dormitory for refugees in Borgfeld begins soon

Borgfeld, Deutschland - In Bremen-Borgfeld, the demolition of the former Borgfeld country house has already started. A new residential complex will soon be built on the property, which should serve as a temporary dormitory for refugee families. The group, led by Theo Bührmann, plans to build 35 apartments there, which will offer space for around 100 people in the future. A spokesman for the Bührmann Group expressed that the construction site is to be set up in "four to six weeks" and that the entire building will take about 14 months. However, this project ensured discussions and resentment in the neighborhood, especially at the local CDU.

The Borgfelder CDU has expressed its concerns about the project and criticized the fact that the planned building does not correspond to the requirements of the Building Code. The architectural office plans a four -storey new building with a staggered relay floor, each of the 35 apartments should have a base area of ​​35 square meters. The CDU fears that the new building will not fit into the area and could even create a "precedent". They loudly ask the city to stop the project and have an independent report for urban compatibility. The local advisory board has no way to actively stop the construction project, but the Borgfeld CDU leader Fricke is planning to legally support residents in a possible contradiction.

demolition with tradition

The Borgfeld country house is not just a simple building, it has a story that goes back to the 17th century. It was a place of beer enjoyment, housed its own brewing company and even represents a piece of Bremen cultural history, especially as the setting for the first Bremen "crime scene" from 1973. The historical importance and the preservation of the building were also the concern of many citizens. A resident had initiated a petition to save the building that was not listed, and was able to collect 727 support signatures. Unfortunately, the majority of the Petitions Committee decided against the preservation of the Borgfeld country house, which also regretted the CDU parliamentary group.

The conversions and the way to the future are not without controversy. While the construction of the new facility for refugees from the Bührmann Group is already starting, residents are concerned about how the neighborhood could change through the new project. The Bührmann Group has already obtained the necessary permits, but also wants to maintain dialogue with the community.

In other cities such as Berlin, similar projects take place where residential projects for rental apartments and refugee accommodation are looking for a place in a tense housing market. This also attempts to create social living space, although there are always concerns on the part of the residents. This makes it clear that the pressure on urban spaces is growing and creative, mutual solutions are necessary to meet the needs of all citizens.

The discussion about the Borgfeld country house and the planned new construction project is an exciting example of the challenges that are connected to urban development and residential projects. In the coming months it will be shown how this debate will develop and whether a compromise between tradition and modern living space can be found.
