Hessentag 2025: Bad Vilbel will become a growth engine for the region!

The Hessentag 2025, which takes place in Bad Vilbel, is celebrated as a true growth engine for the region. Prime Minister Boris Rhein describes it as a catalyst for positive changes in the Wetterau district and in Bad Vilbel itself. The state of Hesse is providing around 13 million euros for investments in the city, supplemented by further millions for the entire region FNP reported.

As part of a recent cabinet decision, several crucial measures were adopted. This not only includes strategies to secure skilled workers, but also the promotion of orchard cultivation and the strengthening of children's rights. These initiatives are intended to provide cultural and social impulses and also promote infrastructure and funding projects. The discussion about these topics is further stimulated by the general trend towards strengthening the region.

Securing skilled workers and taking advantage of educational opportunities

The fight against the shortage of skilled workers is not just a slogan, but is being actively addressed. The Ministry of Economics is relying on Hesse-wide internship days for young people as well as free master training in order to make dual training more attractive. “Young people are our future,” emphasizes Economics Minister Kaweh Mansoori. In the last five years, various measures have secured 3,900 jobs and created 438 new ones, which represents significant progress for the region's labor market.

Revitalization and social engagement

In this development, Bad Vilbel also benefits from social projects and comprehensive urban development. The “Living Centers” urban development funding program plays a central role in the revitalization of the city center. Among other things, Frankfurter Straße will be redesigned and the spa park will be upgraded. The new Niddapark will also be part of these measures.
 

Over 183 million euros will go into expanding the S6 S-Bahn line, which will significantly improve local mobility in the region. This is supported by 21 local mobility measures, including the completion of the Nidda cycle path.
 

Focus on orchard offensive and children's rights

Another innovative step is the orchard offensive, which is being launched with a funding program worth one million euros. This is aimed at private individuals, clubs and small businesses and aims to plant young trees that are appropriate for the location and to preserve old fruit varieties. A nationwide competition entitled “Hesse is looking for the Super-Äppler” honors the best apple wines and underlines Hesse's connection to its famous fruit.
 

A core element of the new legal regulations is the strengthening of children's rights, which now enjoy constitutional status in Hesse. Children and young people should be actively involved in decision-making processes in order to take their perspectives into account. Social Minister Heike Hofmann emphasizes how important it is to hear children's voices and ensure their participation in important issues.
 

In summary, Hessentag in Bad Vilbel seems to be not only a celebration, but also an important signal for the future of the region. With targeted investments and sustainable projects, the signs are good that Wetteraukreis and Bad Vilbel can take new paths in development. The comprehensive support measures and exciting initiatives show that a good knack for a flourishing future is demonstrated here, too hessen.de and n-tv.
