The Olof Palme Center is more than just one building; It is a habitat and a real anchor for local families, young people and all residents! There are not only numerous leisure activities, but also advice and support in many situations. The popularity of the center is particularly evident in the afternoon when the premises are overcrowded - a sign of how valuable the work in the OPZ is! But what about the place?
a long expected extension!
The result of the great demand? A planned extension that is to be completed in 2025! District city councilor Christoph Keller emphasizes: "This is a good sign! If a facility is in demand, we have to expand the offers. More space means more options for all neighboring in the fountain district!"
The initiative receives supporting financial resources of 5 million euros from the programs "Social Infrastructure measures in socially disadvantaged quarters" and "Europe in the quarters". This is a clear commitment to promoting social interaction!
A look into the future
With the new extension, the OPZ will be redesigned and huge new opportunities will be created. Stephan Machulik, State Secretary for Housing and Tenant Protection, praises the Olof Palme Center as an important meeting point for child and youth work in the district: "From numerous events to the neighborhood workshop-everything is offered here!"
Not only is celebrating at the topping -out ceremony; The hard work of all builders who are involved in this significant project is also recognized - a tradition that goes back to the 14th century!
Unpack your calendars and mark November 15th! It is a celebration for the entire fountain district and an excellent opportunity to experience the positive development in the neighborhood. Everyone is cordially invited to gather on this joyful occasion!
