Building committee meeting: New residential building project for Tegernheim is being planned!

The next meeting of the building committee will take place on October 30, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. in the fire station at Ringstrasse 40 in Tegernheim. As reported by tegernheim.de, there are several important agenda items on the agenda. This includes approving the minutes of the last meeting as well as announced non-public resolutions.

The focus is particularly on several building applications. This is how an application for the new construction of a semi-detached house with a garage at Obere Felder 9 is being processed. The building application for a storage building for the existing vehicle workshop on Ringstrasse is also on the agenda. A preliminary building permit for a semi-detached house with garages and parking spaces in Am Mittelberg is also being discussed. In addition, information on the remediation of the main antimony damage at the former BMS site and the so-called “construction turbo” will be discussed. The meeting concludes with a non-public meeting.

Construction turbo in the eyes of politicians

The “Bau-Turbo”, a bill proposed by the federal government to accelerate housing construction, will be discussed in a hearing in Berlin’s Paul-Löbe-Haus on September 10, 2025. According to bundestag.de, the meeting will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and will be held hybrid. Interested listeners can participate both on site and via Zoom, although the number of participants on site is limited. The registration deadline for on-site participation is September 5, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

The hearing will focus on the bill to accelerate housing construction and secure housing, which is seen as part of the federal government's efforts to address the housing problem. This measure is intended to simplify and accelerate new construction projects in particular in order to meet the increasing need for housing.

Criticism of the amendment to the building code

Another old point of contention is the planned amendment to the building code, which was criticized as inadequate by leading associations in the real estate industry. As the Bundestag.de document reports, Axel Gedaschko from the Federal Association of German Housing and Real Estate Companies wrote that the draft does not bring any noticeable progress for housing construction. Experts also called for the draft law to be passed quickly in order to act, if necessary, before the German Bundestag is dissolved.

The amendment provides for several measures to make housing construction more flexible and faster. These include, among other things, allowing additions without changing the development plan in sought-after housing markets and improvements in the process for drawing up development plans. However, there are also critical voices that point out that hurdles to affordable construction are being raised.

In summary, the upcoming meetings will address significant issues affecting housing and urban development at both local and national levels. The setting in which these discussions take place reflects the pressing needs and challenges that exist in housing.
