Enhanced: Münster to Install Additional Public Toilets

Münster, Germany, is set to enhance its public amenities by expanding its network of toilets. As of now, 33 businesses and facilities in Münster are participating in the "Nice Toilet" project, with 18 located in the city center and 15 in Hiltrup.

The city has been operating public toilets since the beginning of 2024, having dismantled previously operated facilities by Wall GmbH due to renovation costs not being economical. The city council commissioned the administration to prepare for the implementation of the new facilities.

The expansion includes new facilities on the west side of the main station, Südpark, Coerdeplatz, Wienburgpark, and Aasee-Kugeln. The proposed new public toilets will be managed by an external service provider, and ecological aspects, such as water savings, are considered in their design.

In addition to the new facilities, six facilities in municipal ownership have been renovated and are maintained by a cleaning company. These facilities are part of the existing network and will continue to serve the public.

The city supports participating providers of the "Nice Toilet" project with an operating cost subsidy. The proposed new facilities will be barrier-free, gender-neutral, and vandalism-proof, ensuring accessibility for all residents and visitors.

The realization of the measures depends on the funds available in the upcoming budget. The estimated annual cost per facility is approximately 55,000 euros, according to the administration's concept. However, the organization designated to handle the construction, cleaning, maintenance, and operation of the new public toilets in Münster is not specified in the provided search results.

The city also plans to further expand the "Nice Toilet" project, inviting more businesses and facilities to participate and make their WCs publicly accessible. This move aims to provide a more comprehensive network of public toilets across Münster, ensuring convenience and comfort for all.
