Innovative Solution Proven Successful: The Efficiently Functioning Model Delivers Results

In the picturesque city of Detmold, Mayor Frank Hilker made a symbolic gesture that underscores the future viability of the city's housing projects. He handed oversized portable toilets to the new kindergarten Siegfriedstraße, a symbol of the project's importance for the living and housing quality of families.

Detmold is implementing a successful approach called the "Detmold Model" for creating sustainable, climate-friendly, and affordable housing. This model, which emphasises quick, sustainable solutions to housing shortages, has been instrumental in the creation of high-quality, affordable housing. The Britensiedlung and the Breitefeld are prime examples, with prices as low as 6.30 euros per square meter in the Britensiedlung and 8.50 euros per square meter in the Breitefeld.

The "Detmold Model" is not designed for profit, but for cost-covering operation to ensure permanently low rents. The city retains influence on housing, family, and urban planning policies through the articles of association and the appointment of the board and supervisory board. The success of this model is due to its quick, sustainable solutions to housing shortages.

The event highlighting the portable toilets symbolically handed over to the new kindergarten also showcased the successful collaboration between the city portal and the Detmolder Housing Cooperatives. The partnership with Pyramis Immobilien Entwicklungs GmbH is key to the success of the Detmold Model.

Mayor Hilker emphasised Detmold's pioneering role and demanded stronger support from the federal and state governments for future projects. The city portal and its housing cooperatives are demanding financial support and planning security from Berlin and Düsseldorf to implement the Detmold Model 2.0.

Kindergartens are considered the heart of residential neighborhoods and crucial for the success of sustainable urban development. The portable toilets handed over to the new kindergarten Siegfriedstraße aim to foster creativity in children and introduce them playfully to the topic of construction.

Michael Kirchner, a board member of the Detmolder Cooperatives, emphasised the role of joint efforts and innovative structures in creating affordable housing and developing entire neighbourhoods. The "Detmold Model" includes the revitalization of brownfield sites, such as the "Alte Ziegelei" industrial area, into sustainable commercial zones.

Detmold is not only creating affordable housing for families but also for students and apprentices to meet the needs of universities and local businesses. The city offers subsidized student and trainee housing at 220 euros per shared living space.

In conclusion, Detmold's "Detmold Model" is a pioneering approach to creating sustainable, affordable housing. The city's commitment to this model, coupled with its innovative partnerships, is paving the way for a greener, more affordable future.
