TSV Oberlenningen: 5,000 euros for a sports field irrigation system!

In Oberlenningen, the TSV is pleased about the necessary improvement of its sports facilities. The local council unanimously decided to renovate a new irrigation system for the sports field next to the gym and festival hall. The subsidy for this measure amounts to 5,000 euros, while the total cost of the renovation is estimated at 150,000 euros. Financial support is provided from the municipality's budget, which underlines the importance of the investment for the use of sports. The discussion about the necessity of this renovation convinced the local councilors that the irrigation system is essential for sports operations.

The renovation of the irrigation system is part of a broader project that, in addition to improving the sports infrastructure, also affects future planning and investments by the local council. These measures are of great importance in order to ensure the sustainable use of the sports field.

Funding opportunities for sports facilities

Municipalities and clubs throughout Germany, including Oberlenningen, have the opportunity to receive funding from the federal and state governments for construction work on sports facilities. These funding programs not only include the replacement of floodlight systems, but also the modernization of air conditioning systems and new construction projects. As sportplatzwelt.de makes clear, the funds are usually allocated by the responsible state ministries, which set up specific funding guidelines.

Clubs also receive support from the state sports association, which in turn receives funding from the state ministry. In addition to government funding, there are also alternative supporters, such as “Aktion Mensch” and the Kreditbank for Reconstruction. Especially since the introduction of the municipal directive in 2020, which supports municipal sports facilities to improve climate neutrality, the options for financial support for sports facilities have expanded significantly.

Government programs and initiatives

Special programs such as the “Modern Sports Facility 2022” offer significant funding to strengthen the sports infrastructure in North Rhine-Westphalia. A total of 300 million euros is available here, which has almost completely been exhausted. These programs are crucial to support the maintenance and modernization of sports facilities, with the Federal Government viewing sport as an important funding area.

The developments in Oberlenningen are an exemplary sign of how local initiatives, in collaboration with state funding, can improve the conditions for sport locally. With the new irrigation system, TSV Oberlenningen will not only optimize sports use, but also take a step towards a more sustainable future for local sports facilities.
