Zeitz blooms: 15 million for sustainable change at the Zekiwa location!

Zeitz, Deutschland - in Saxony-Anhalt is exciting: A former location of the Zekiwa stroller factory in Zeitz becomes the center for sustainable building. The Stern reports that the revitalization of the area with stately funding of around 15.5 million euros from the state initiative "Saxony-Anhalt-together for a new European Bauhaus (NEB)" is supported. On top of that, another 8.8 million euros for project partners will be in the room.

The city of Zeitz, the Anhalt University, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and other top-class institutions such as the Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle Castle and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg are on board. Together they form a multidisciplinary consortium that has set itself the goal of transforming the site into a real laboratory for innovative, circular and climate -neutral building. The focus is not only on technical know-how, but also on aesthetics and creative design options, which is particularly important to the Bauhaus Dessau

a real laboratory for the future

The "Realabor Zekiwa Zeitz" is not just a unique project; It should be realized by the end of 2027. It takes up the idea to understand building as a process of society as a whole that is in accordance with ecological aspects. The revitalization of the historical industrial monument is linked to the principles of the new European Bauhaus, which is under the motto "Beautiful - Sustainable - Together". This means that aesthetics, sustainability and sense of community play a central role.

In the context of the EU program for the Green Transformation, the funding from Just Transition Fund (JTF) is of great importance. This is intended to mitigate the negative effects of the coal phase -out and promote social justice. More precisely, a total of 44 million euros are available for the NEB initiative, which are available in selected regions such as Anhalt-Bitterfeld and the Saalekreis. So you can clearly see how closely the topics of climate and social affairs are connected.

Together shape the future

The EU also calls for ideas to submit the future lifestyle in these regions. The New European Bauhaus is a guiding principle. The initiative promotes solutions that are sustainable, inclusive and aesthetically appealing - especially in small communities. With a focus on neighborhoods and the wishes of the citizens, a way is being sought to respect the variety of European traditions and at the same time set new impulses.

The former Zekiwa location in Zeitz becomes nothing less than a showcase project for the entire region, which shows how to master the challenges of the future together. In a world in which rethinking is required, Zeitz is making a good example and makes it unequivocally clear: it is about creating values ​​that go beyond material and enable life in harmony with nature.
