SCANDAL in Göppingen: Renovation of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is going through the roof!
Göppingen informs about the more expensive renovation of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium: 40 million euros for monument protection measures until 2027.
SCANDAL in Göppingen: Renovation of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is going through the roof!
The renovation of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium in Göppingen has turned out to be a true RENOVATION DRAMA! Originally planned for a modest 40 million euros, the costs are now exploding and causing those responsible to be extremely excited. A HUGE SHOCK for the city, because the problems seem to be piling up like a real construction disaster!
As the city of Göppingen announced in a *shocking* announcement, the additional costs are primarily due to the extremely EXPENSIVE installation of the construction crane. But that's not all! The windows and the listed outdoor area are also the focus of the shocking cost increases. What can come next? A complete cost collapse?
Criticism and controversy in the local council
Dieter Schurr from the CDU sharply criticizes the catastrophic “planning errors”. Is this the beginning of a political earthquake in the city? As if that weren't enough, members of the local council are also expressing concern about the cost buffer, which has already been half used up. Volker Allmendinger is worried about how long this buffer will last! And while some see the RISING costs as acceptable, the pressure on city leaders is only increasing.
The mayor, Eva Noller, emphasizes the ULTIMATE importance of historic facade renovation for MONUMENT PROTECTION. But will the city be able to overcome the challenges? Will the dizzying mountain of costs and complications on the path to ON-TIME completion, currently scheduled for the end of 2027, become a waking dream or a nightmare for the city?
Important financial aspects and subsidies
How will the city survive the financial jungle? In this emergency situation, the German Foundation for Monument Protection is stepping in with additional money: around 100,000 euros for window renovation! And support from the state of Baden-Württemberg is also on the horizon. But how much is ultimately needed? That remains to be seen!
And it gets even more exciting! The President of the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects, Markus Müller, describes the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium as a “QUALITATIVE example of school architecture from the 1950s”. This building was built under the visionary hand of architect Günter Behnisch and represents the transition to industrially manufactured building materials. A structural rarity that must be protected!
Heritage Challenges
The State Monuments Office emphasizes: The Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is not just any building, but is one of the last school buildings in the orthogonal style. The guidelines for monument protection make the energetic renovation of the facade a real challenge! Will the craftsmen's hands be tied, or can there still be a HAPPY END for the high school?
The city administration's nerves are on edge, while the sky above the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium seems to be gathering grimly. Will the general renovation drive the city to ruin or will the historical monument actually rise like a phoenix from the ashes? Only time will tell the answer, but excitement and interest in this most exciting construction project in the city is guaranteed!
