Developing the Schlachthof site in dialogue
Participation in test and master planning
About this process
What is important to you for the future of the Schlachthof site?
The slaughterhouse site is continuing to develop: In the long term, the area is to become an urban workplace area for local food production and processing and offer space for public green and open spaces as well as a primary school and, if necessary, apartments. At the same time, a meeting place for the neighbourhood is to be created that connects the neighbouring districts with each other. The city council has therefore decided to discontinue slaughtering operations on the site at the end of 2029 in order to enable the development of the area.
A test plan was carried out, which shows the possible development of the area with the specified main uses. The final report on the test planning will be published in summer 2026.
Participation
The development planning of the slaughterhouse site includes a participation process. As part of this process, a first public dialogue event took place in December 2024, online participation in May 2025 and the second dialogue event with the population on 9 March 2026. The development planning will conclude with an information event and the presentation of the Master Plan 2028.
You can find more information on this page or via the newsletter.
