Parking at the Uelzen Hundertwasser-Bahnhof: Will the turn come soon?

Parking at the Uelzen Hundertwasser-Bahnhof: Will the turn come soon?

The parking situation at the Hundertwasser-Bahnhof in Uelzen continues to provide discussions. Local residents and travelers have been pushing new parking spaces for some time. In an online survey in which 181 citizens took part, 143 of them approved the construction of a new parking space. This reflects the high demand that the Uelzener Nachrichten reaffirms: According to them, the administrative committee has already recommended a ground -level parking lot with 280 parking spaces, while the costs for this measure are estimated at around 2.7 million euros. Additional funds for a photovoltaic system and a noise and privacy screen are also included. The city's trust shows that funding of up to 1.7 million euros could flow to support the project. az-online.de also reports that the parking lot for the parking lot should be carried out in spring 2026.

Originally, a three -storey parking garage with 400 parking spaces was planned, but this project was rejected due to increasing construction costs. The estimated costs for the parking garage had increased to 12.7 million euros - a sum that the city cannot do. The Ukraine War also strongly influenced the financial framework, so that the decision for a simplified parking lot seems quite pragmatic.

opposite opinions within the council

Within the Uelzen Council, there are different opinions about the project. The UWG councilor Ralf Munstermann questions whether the parking spaces are still required. He refers to the replacement area already created on Albrecht-Thaer-Straße. In contrast, Dieter Warnecke from Bad Bodenteich emphasizes that there is still too little parking space for travelers at the train station. Warnecke expresses his concern about the lengthy planning phase and describes it as a "tragedy".

Financial framework and further developments

In addition to the construction costs, there are economic uncertainties caused by the current market situation and the boom in the construction industry. uelzen-tv.com indicates that the city must be presented with a comprehensive cost calculation for the park, but this has been repeatedly revised in order to counter the economic challenges.

The city of Uelzen is currently standing on a crossroads. While the citizens express clear needs, those responsible must take care of the financial possibilities and the structural realizations. It remains to be seen how the Uelzen administration will be able to do justice to this area of ​​tension. After all, expectations are high, and travelers want an uncomplicated journey - this must also apply to the parking lot situation.
