A look back at the development of the redevelopment area
Between 1994 and 2012, an exemplary process of urban redevelopment took place in and around the village green of Altkötzschenbroda. The old building structures in the centre of Kötzschenbroda were preserved through extensive repairs and modernisation, the removal of ruinous buildings and disruptive outbuildings.
The village green and the church square were redesigned as public urban spaces. Conflicting uses were eliminated, for example by relocating disruptive commercial operations that had a significant impact on the townscape. Environmental damage caused by soil contamination from a particularly polluting dry-cleaning business was also eliminated.
The social infrastructure was significantly improved by the establishment of several community and follow-up facilities. The kindergarten, the Familieninitative e.V. with its family centre and multi-generational house, the cultural office with its municipal gallery, municipal art collection and the Kötzschenbroda Heimatstube, as well as the vicarage and church building with its accessible church tower are now important parts of active public life in Altkötzschenbroda.
Today, the Altkötzschenbroda village green is a modern and functional residential and business location and offers its visitors an interesting tourist attraction.
The redevelopment objectives - modernisation and restoration of the typical building fabric of the area, in particular the listed buildings, functional upgrading of the area and the establishment of community and ancillary facilities - have been successfully achieved.
