Rotenburg calls for rapid plans for the HKZ area: secure the future!
An important resolution was passed at the meeting of the Rotenburg city council on Thursday evening. The unanimously perceived resolution on the future use of the area of the Heart and Circulation Center (HKZ) is the first step towards future-oriented planning. The CDU parliamentary group submitted this motion in order to persuade those responsible to take an immediate planning step. The resolution received unanimous support from all parliamentary groups, including the SPD, FDP and UBR. Mayor Marcus Weber and other parliamentary group leaders strongly support the initiative.
The HKZ's move to Bad Hersfeld is planned for the end of 2026, while the Hessian University of Finance and Law is not expected to leave the site until a year later. This creates pressure to act for the city of Rotenburg and the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district, which have a responsibility for the future use of the area. According to [HNA]. Here the city has the opportunity to proactively exert an influence.
Urgency of planning
As early as December 15th, the CDU district council group will present another resolution in the district council on the reuse of the HKZ area. She emphasizes the importance of starting planning immediately. According to Osthessen-News there are clear warnings about the risks of an unplanned transition, such as vacancies and loss of substance, which could result in expensive follow-up costs. These concerns drive the CDU parliamentary group, which also focuses on the responsibility of the district, which acts as the sole shareholder of the clinic.
The district administrator, as chairman of the shareholders' meeting and the hospital's supervisory board, has the task of finding a solution together with the city of Rotenburg. Involving the city in the planning is seen as crucial in order not to lose sight of the urban development goals. The CDU proposes setting up a joint project or development group that would receive external technical support from conversion experts.
A signal for the future
With the resolution, the city councilors are sending a clear signal to the district and the Bad Hersfeld Clinic: rapid information and close cooperation in the planning processes are needed. Mayor Weber and the other parliamentary group leaders are united behind this project because long-term vacancies should be avoided at all costs. HNA reports on the demands for establishing a structured planning process that also includes external experts.
Overall, the clear announcement from the Rotenburg city council and the CDU parliamentary group shows how important it is to act proactively and set the course for the future of the HKZ area. A solid plan can help the city to effectively integrate the area into the development of the region and thus create valuable perspectives.
