Neunkirchen gets new turf: 806,000 euros for the Ellenfeld Stadium!
The Ellenfeldstadion in Neunkirchen, one of the oldest football stadiums in Germany, was opened in 1912 and is now facing significant renovation work. The grass pitch is very worn and has unevenness, which poses a risk of injury to the players. For this reason, the district town of Neunkirchen has decided to fundamentally renovate the sports field in order to transform it into a new sports turf field with a modern irrigation system. The total costs for this project amount to around 806,000 euros, of which the sports planning commission is funding up to 75,000 euros, as wochenspiegelonline.de reports.
Interior State Secretary Torsten Lang emphasizes the importance of this new sports facility for sporting engagement and the community in the region. Mayor Jörg Aumann thanks the financial support that makes such a renewal possible. As the work progresses, care is being taken to ensure that the construction project is carried out in individual phases in order to minimize disruption to residents, as neunkirchen.de emphasizes.
Transparency and digital future
The city administration emphasizes the importance of transparent and professional construction site management in order to effectively communicate the progress of the work. The need to create modern digital infrastructures is also emphasized. In particular, the expansion of the fiber optic network is seen as a key technology for the digital society. By the end of 2023, Telekom plans to build 43 kilometers of fiber optics and 22 distributors in Neunkirchen. This will not only increase the attractiveness of the community, but also ensure its future viability as a residential and business location.
A fiber optic connection can increase the value of real estate and enables digital learning, working and simultaneous streaming and gaming. Telekom offers connections with speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second, while business customer tariffs even provide up to 100 Gbit/s. The first connections should be available in the coming weeks. A free fiber optic connection is offered during the construction phase; later the connection to the property costs 799.95 euros. Further information can be found on the Telekom website.
Overall, the current developments in Neunkirchen illustrate how important both the old entertainment facilities and the modern digital infrastructure are for the city. Both the renovation of the Ellenfeld Stadium and the installation of the fiber optic network play an important role in the future direction of the municipality.
