Mega sports hall for Böhlitz-Ehrenberg: Start of construction next week!

The beginning of the construction project for a new three-field sports hall in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg is imminent. According to the information from lvz will take the official construction next week. The construction of this long-demanded project, which has been in focus for over a decade, is to significantly improve the infrastructure in the Alt-West district.

The symbolic groundbreaking is carried out by a remarkable constellation of three mayors: Heiko Rosenthal (Sport), Vicki Felthaus (school) and Thomas Dienberg (construction). The hall will be built on a meadow on Schönauer Landstrasse, opposite the Edeka market and is expected to be completed in August 2027-just in time for the new school year.

construction costs and equipment features

The estimated costs of the project amount to around 17.4 million euros. This investment is particularly important because the Alt-West district has so far been the only one in Leipzig that does not have a two- or three-field hall. The construction is planned in a modern timber construction with a partially green roof and a photovoltaic system. There are also parking spaces for 17 cars and around 100 bicycles.

For primary schools in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg and Gundorf as well as the Pestalozzi secondary school, the new hall will be of great importance. These schools currently share a small 1.5 field sports hall, which significantly restricts sporting activities.

history of development

The demand for a new sports hall was already discussed in the city council in 2014. A suitable property was found in 2016 and taken over by the sports office. The official starting shot for the project was in August 2023. Currently, the construction of the Dreifeld sports hall in the Alt-West district is anchored in the 2024 sports program for Leipzig, as left-fraction-leipzig.de Reported.

In addition, there is a valid building permit for the project. Nevertheless, concrete construction measures are currently not foreseeable. This raises questions that were addressed to the mayor. This includes the assessment of the current implementation status as well as information about a revised cost estimate and the financing of the project.

Overall, the new three-field sports hall not only stands for a necessary expansion of the sporting infrastructure, but also for improving the conditions for schools in the area. The construction has the potential to significantly promote sporting life in Böhlitz-Ehrenberg and to make a valuable contribution to the community.
