Social cohesion: Gräselberg
Since 2015, the Biebrich-Gräselberg housing estate in Wiesbaden has been part of the federal-state program "Social Cohesion".
The urban development funding program aims to improve the quality of housing and life as well as the diversity of use in neighborhoods. It also supports the integration of all population groups and helps to strengthen cohesion in the neighborhood.
With the last funding decision in 2024, the area will have received all the funding it is eligible for. With a total funding volume of €14.4 million, numerous measures have already been implemented. These include the redesign of the exercise trail on Wörther-See-Straße (link to the Wörther-See-Straße exercise trail project website), the establishment of an outdoor youth center, and the comprehensive renovation of the "Hufeisen" children's playground, which is owned by GWW Wiesbadener Wohnbaugesellschaft mbH. Since 2024, the new Gräselberg district center and the parent-child residential community with a child-parent center (KiEZ) have been under construction on Pörtschacherstraße (link to the STZ Gräselberg project page), with completion planned for 2026.
The measures in Gräselberg are based on the Integrated Urban Development Concept (ISEK)PDF-File20,08 MB, which was developed on behalf of SEG Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Wiesbaden mbH by ProjektStadt, a group of companies belonging to Nassauische Heimstätte Wohnstadt, in close cooperation with the Wiesbaden city administration, politicians, and the citizens of Gräselberg. In September 2019, the concept was approved by the city council of the state capital of Wiesbaden. The ISEK identifies the key areas where action is needed in the fields of urban development, image improvement and public relations, housing and living environment, environment and transport, social infrastructure, local economy, health and environmental justice, leisure and sport, and crime prevention and security.
SEG Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Wiesbaden mbH, acting as trustee for the state capital of Wiesbaden, was responsible for inclusion in the funding program and program management. Since July 2024, this task has been taken over by the Office for Social Work, Department of Housing and Urban Development.
