Bad Pyrmont plans to take over the Kurtheater: renovation and uncertainties!

There are signs of change in Bad Pyrmont. The city plans to take over the state spa properties, including the former garden center on Anzio-Allee and the Kurtheater, through a leasehold agreement with the state of Lower Saxony. On Tuesday, June 24th, the city council will vote at 5 p.m. in the town hall on how the Dewezet reported.

A central concern of the city leadership is the renovation of the spa theater, which will be used again for cultural events in the future. Treasurer Guido Sievers said that the financial impact cannot yet be quantified and that a usage concept is being drawn up. It is clear that the city's budget will be burdened by the renovation and the subsequent operational management.

Uncertainties and priorities

The discussion about the subsequent financial costs remains tense. Carolin Muschter from Bad Pyrmont intact supports the idea of ​​using the Kurtheater for concerts, but warns of the uncertainties regarding the stage and the costs involved. “We need clear cost targets in order to be able to set sensible priorities,” she demands. The CDU parliamentary group is also thinking about feasibility and suggests considering a concept for the installation and storage of a concert grand piano when planning. It is also being discussed whether small pianos can move from the town hall or the music school.

The need to examine compensation options is also discussed, as local authorities monitor “voluntary services” very closely. The notary appointment for the leasehold contract should take place shortly after the council decision in order to ensure timely implementation of the plans. The “wing garage” that already exists in the previous building could provide an initial basis for the use of the spa theater.

Commitment to cultural life

An active citizens' association advocates the preservation of the spa theater. If you would like to find out more about this, you can find out more about the initiative on the website Radio active track.

With these steps, Bad Pyrmont would like to take on the challenge of promoting the city's cultural diversity and establishing the Kurtheater as an important event location. It remains to be hoped that the upcoming decisions in the city council will bring a good hand for the future of the Kurtheater. The pressure to find a sustainable and viable solution is great because the city's cultural heritage ultimately lies in the hands of those responsible.
