New shine for Meißen: Stadtplatz on Fährmannstrasse shines!

Meißen, Deutschland - The city square on the intersection of Martinstrasse and Fährmannstrasse in Meißen shines in new splendor after a comprehensive redesign. The city of Meißen recently announced that the work on this square, which previously suffered from flood damage and an unexpected appearance, was successfully completed. In November 2024, the city council decided to redesign, which was completed in March 2025 with a total expenditure of around 147,000 euros. The funding was partly established by the federal government and the Free State of Saxony, as Die Sachsen reported.

As part of the redesign, a curved path was created, which winds through the newly designed green area. A central stay now invites you to linger. It is particularly gratifying that the existing trees have been preserved, which gives the new system a harmonious character. With the polygon pavement that was used and the colored step plates, the square experiences a colorful upgrade. The wave -shaped sitting elements and a robust planting also contribute to an appealing ambience. A highlight is certainly the interactive “water strudel” that underlines the new attractiveness of the square.

reconstruction after flood damage

The redesign of the city square is part of a larger reconstruction project in Meißen, which was necessary due to the devastating flood events this year. According to a report by Sächsische, the damage caused by the flood in June amounts to over 15 million Euro. In order to master these challenges, the municipal company Seeg hires three other employees, so that the team grows to 22 people.

SEEG, the urban development and renewal company of Meißen, takes care of the handling of a total of 68 individual measures as part of the reconstruction. The experiences from the 2002 floods benefit the city here, because the team has close contact with the Saxon construction bar. Seeg boss Birgit Richter emphasizes the importance of the availability of funding and the need to correctly carry out the billing. The reconstruction takes place in close coordination with the municipal building authority, which is responsible for planning and monitoring the construction projects.

The redesign and the ongoing reconstruction measures are a clear step towards a livable and future -proof city. In the future, Meißen will not only be more beautiful, but also better for the challenges of the future.
