Südstadt Bad Segeberg: 3.6 million euros for a new quality of life!
On September 14, 2025, Bad Segeberg celebrated a big final party for the entire southern city project. This extraordinary celebration marks the successful completion of an extensive project that has been supported by federal and state urban development funding since 1971. Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack praised the excellent planning and implemented projects over the past 13 years. A nice sign for the region!
Important measures that have been implemented in Südstadt include the redesign of the popular Südstadtpark and the WestTor as well as the barrier-free conversion of the entire Südstadt. The new construction of the family center and the renovation of the underpass at the district park also contribute to the attractiveness of the region. The total funding amount of around 3.6 million euros, including the municipal share, shows the commitment of the city and the funding institutions.
Diverse projects for education and leisure
But investments are not only being made in the area of urban development. Other projects, particularly in the education sector, are also part of the funding. The schoolyard at the Burgfeld school will be redesigned and the municipal indoor swimming pool will receive both structural and energy-related renovations. These measures are important for improving the quality of life in the district and show that Bad Segeberg is setting the course for a positive future.
Another aspect is the social housing promotion, which led to the necessary renovations on Theodor-Storm-Strasse. Buildings in the Gustav Böhm settlement that needed renovation were also demolished and replaced with new buildings. This is an important step in the upgrading of the Südstadt, which will continue even after the funding has been completed.
A review of urban development funding
The urban development funding program “Social City” was launched between 1999 and 2019. The aim of this program was to stabilize and upgrade districts that were disadvantaged in terms of urban development. A total of 965 measures were funded in 544 cities and municipalities by 2019. Städtebaufoerderung.info reports on the promotion of lively neighborhoods and the improvement of residents' opportunities for integration.
Federal urban development funding has been supporting sustainable urban development in Germany for over 50 years. An impressive 790 million euros are available for this in the 2024 federal budget. BMWSB emphasizes that these programs aim to strengthen inner cities and town centers and reduce social disadvantage.
In summary, Bad Segeberg is on the right track. The progress made in the southern part of the city is the result of targeted planning and an engaged community. The closing ceremony was not only a worthy setting to celebrate successes, but also an incentive for the challenges and projects to come. So it will be interesting to see how the Südstadt will continue to flourish!
