New youth club Pablo Neruda: Rostock's future for young talents!

in Rostock-Evershagen is currently being tackled vigorously, and not only in a figurative sense. On July 11, 2025, the topping-out ceremony for the new youth club "Pablo Neruda" at Maxim-Gorki-Straße 67, was a construction project that not only offers young people a place, but is also part of a comprehensive renovation project.

The investment for the youth club is around one million euros of the entire budget of around 15 million euros, which are estimated for the entire construction work. The new club will have the Jugendwohnen Hanseatic City Rostock e.V. The new club will offer a variety of options on around 230 square meters: from a multifunctional room for theater performances and concerts to variable usable rooms and a complete kitchen. The completion should take place by mid -2027, so that a fresh wind can soon move into youth culture.

renovation and inclusion hand in hand

But the youth club is not the only thing that arises at this point. In the direct neighborhood, the former school building is also renovated. Here, not only the upgrading of the outer shell, the roof and the facade are on the list, but also the creation of accessibility through a new elevator. Up to 220 children are to be included in the after -school care center, which is also part of the project, and 250 students will learn in the new classrooms of the vocational school.

The renovation is supported by various funding, including 3.7 million euros for the after -school care center and the youth club from the European Fund for Regional Development. This shows how important the creation of such rooms is for the community. The focus is always on inclusion here, since the entire building is also converted barrier -free in order to provide all children and adolescents access, regardless of their individual needs.

a step into the future

The present project is part of a larger trend that is characterized by innovative and inclusive school development. The program "Conversion including: increase school quality- promote accessibility" by the Evangelical schools promotes such projects across the country to reduce barriers and create new learning and design rooms. There are some framework conditions for schools who want to apply for these funds, but support is a real profit for the entire school and educational landscape.

The construction work at Maxim-Gorki-Straße 67 is therefore not only a modern construction project, but also an important step towards an inclusive future for young people in Rostock. The tension -charged waiting for the opening will certainly bring the local community even more together. There is a lot of positive things for us!
