Greifswald is planning a new building yard for 23 million euros – archaeologists at work!

The Hanseatic city of Greifswald has big plans and is investing 23 million euros in a new building yard in the Helmshäger Berg industrial area. This construction yard will be equipped with modern sanitary facilities, garages, carports, workshops, storage areas and even a wash bay for company vehicles. A highlight will be the gritting hall with brine system, which offers environmentally friendly solutions. Archaeologists are currently conducting research on an area of ​​two hectares located in an archaeological area - they have been on site since July 2023 and expect to discover ceramic shards that indicate earlier settlements from the Bronze or Iron Age.

The decision for the new building was made in 2020. The costs were originally calculated at 5 million euros, but expenses quickly rose to 17.4 million euros. The architectural firm Matrix from Rostock is involved in the planning and is implementing the modern and sustainable ideas. The use of green roofs and a ventilation system with heat recovery is also planned, as is power supply from a photovoltaic system. The heat is to be provided by a combination of a heat pump and a wood chip system.

The new building yard replaces two outdated locations on Gützkower Landstraße and Mendeleyevweg. The construction project is scheduled to be completed in autumn 2027. By then, the construction site should be well utilized and take into account both modern urban development and environmental protection.

The archaeological finds

The investigation of the archaeological monument is not only important for the city of Greifswald. Archaeologists have been researching there since 2023 and are reporting promising evidence of cultural remains from a bygone era. The expected ceramic shards could provide information about life in the region thousands of years ago and thus also enrich knowledge of our own history.

With these investments, Greifswald shows that the city not only has its finger on the pulse, but also makes an active contribution to preserving and researching its roots. It remains exciting to see how developments continue to unfold on the construction site.

These energy and infrastructural investments are essential for the future of the building yard and the connection of the city to the modern needs of the administration. Greifswald will once again establish itself as a pioneer for contemporary construction projects.
