CDU demands Bundeswehr site in Schwalmstadt - upswing for region!

Schwalmstadt, Deutschland - A new Bundeswehr location could soon become a reality in Schwalmstadt in Hesse. The CDU parliamentary group in the city parliament has submitted an application to check whether the city is suitable as a suitable place for a Bundeswehr presence. This initiative is in the context of the nationwide expansion of the armed forces, which requires additional properties to ensure the country's security and willingness to defend. As nh24.de , a planned acceleration law should facilitate the processes to create new locations, whereby special attention is paid to the national defense.

Schwalmstadt has already served as a garrison location: from 1961 to 2006 the Harthberg barracks was located here. The CDU sees the city as ideally suited due to this history and its infrastructural advantages- such as a motorway and ICE connection as well as an existing track for rail loading. In addition, the "Rudolphsaue" is considered as a possible area, where there are already plans for another major project.

support for the location

Approval in the population seems to be great. In a survey on the NH24-WhatsApp channel, 445 participants spoke out for a Bundeswehr location in Schwalmstadt, while only 37 were against it. This shows that there is a certain interest in the settlement of the armed forces in the community, which could not only provide security, but also for economic impulses.

But what role does the Bundeswehr play in Germany? According to bundeswehrnews.de , the Bundeswehr is set up at many locations in Germany with a wide variety of military tasks. Some locations have been reduced since 2010, but the network of facilities remains widely branched. Hallows in Bonn and Berlin catch the eye and show the central organization and administration of the Bundeswehr.
