Wildegker sports center: Ministry stops funding application!
Wildegker sports center: Ministry stops funding application!
A current letter from the Ministry of the Interior, Construction and Digitization in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has the hope of an early construction of the sports center in Woldegk. The application for special needs assignment was rejected on the grounds that there was no prospect of a timely funding. This information comes after a coordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Sport.
The disappointment about the decision is deep in Woldegk. A note in the letter is particularly annoying, which gives the impression that it is a reproach: the city supposedly intended to apply for funding from the sports facility building directive, but this was not noted in the financing plan. This intention was discussed in January with Minister Christian Pegel, who rated the “New Building Sports Center” project as positive at the time.
a promised bright spot
Minister level, who explained the planning documents of the sports center in detail in January, visited the barracks with the current changing rooms and expressed that the financing was challenging but by no means impossible. The school management of the regional school with primary school "Wilhelm Höcker" was present for this meeting because the school plays an important role in the concept of the sports center. Together with the sports club and the city of Woldegk, a written expression of interest was created for the joint use of the sports center.
An important point the minister emphasized is the need for changing rooms and sanitary facilities for students who are much easier to argue than a bowling alley. This could provide Woldegk a strategic advantage in the next application for funding for 2026. The city plans to use older building concepts that do without a bowling alley.
funding opportunities at a glance
The importance of sports facilities is increasingly recognized not only for leisure and school sports. Various initiatives aim to fix the renovation backlog at German sports facilities. Municipalities and associations are obliged to find suitable funding programs and to demonstrate their eligibility. The Sports facilities concept offers support in researching and applying for funding and shows that there are diverse options at EU, federal and state level.The city of Woldegk has the chance to position itself in a context of visionary sports facilities. Minister Pegel's committed attitude and the existing discussions with the student body and the sports club could be the key to success. It remains exciting to observe how the situation develops and whether Woldegk can start a new attempt for funding in 2026.
