Frimmersdorf and Neurath’s ‘Power Plant Villages’ unveil bold redesign plans for 2026

The 'Power Plant Villages' project is moving forward with plans to redesign key public spaces in Frimmersdorf and Neurath. A third village conference, set for early 2026, will present design options for the church square in Frimmersdorf and Peter-Kauertz-Platz in Neurath. The aim is to create functional, attractive, and socially inclusive areas for both communities.

Aachen-based planning firm MWM has been hired to develop technical foundations for the project management. They are working closely with the city administration and local residents to gather data and refine concepts. A full site assessment, including surveys and geotechnical studies, is already underway to support the planning process.

The third village conference will take place on February 6, 2026, at 5:30 PM. Attendees will review and discuss design variants for the squares, with their feedback shaping the final draft plans. These updated proposals will then be included in a funding application, expected to be submitted by March 2026. While securing funds may take time, planning will continue in parallel. The goal is to break ground by late 2027, provided the necessary approvals are obtained. Ongoing dialogue between planners, local officials, and residents remains central to ensuring the project meets the needs of both districts.

The project seeks to future-proof the centres of Frimmersdorf and Neurath by balancing practical, aesthetic, and social requirements. Once funding is confirmed, construction could begin in late 2027, transforming the two squares into modern, community-focused spaces.
