City of Hameln: Right of first refusal planned for the Fuchsbau” nature adventure garden!
Something is happening in the city of Hamelin! The local administration is ready to campaign for the “Fuchsbau” nature adventure garden and is planning to introduce a right of first refusal for the property at Heinrichstrasse 9. This measure is no coincidence, as the “Fuchsbau” is currently closed because traffic safety is no longer guaranteed. It is all the more important that this unique place is preserved for the public, especially for children and young people. [Dewezet].
But anyone who thinks this is just about a piece of land is very much mistaken. The city of Hameln is not just pursuing a short-term goal, but also wants to secure this natural experience area in the long term. Parallel to the expansion of development plan No. 329, which includes the planned south school center, a right of first refusal statute is now being introduced in accordance with Section 25 of the Building Code (BauGB). This gives the city the exclusive right to be the first to sell the property if it is used for private purposes. Dossier Hameln emphasizes that this is important as a preventative security instrument in order to guarantee valuable urban development in this area.
A retreat for young people
The “Fuchsbau” offers a variety of activities, from vegetable patches that promote environmental awareness to a low ropes course that offers open space for both school groups and private initiatives. The adventure garden is an important area, especially for preschool and primary school children, to experience nature up close and learn through play. In the planning, which is expected to be approved by a council resolution in November 2025, the city of Hameln is sending a strong signal for the protection of these green educational and leisure areas.
The Urban Development Committee has already voted unanimously in favor of the right of first refusal, which underlines the importance of this project. The city's main concern is that the site continues to benefit children and youth work as well as environmental education. So it's more than just a legal step; it is a commitment to promoting sustainable and deeply rooted urban development. If the city exercises its right of first refusal, there will be financial consequences in the form of market value, but the long-term benefits certainly outweigh the consequences.
The future use of the property could make a significant contribution to ensuring that Hameln remains a place for learning, playing and experiencing for the next generation. The initiative to secure the “Fuchsbau” is not only a step in the right direction, but also a clear sign of the city’s great commitment to its community and the preservation of nature and the environment.
