City center project

Inner-city development aims to enhance the area by promoting construction measures for public buildings, redesigning streets, squares and other public areas and supporting private initiatives for building renovations.

Erlangen is getting a new cultural center, the Kultur- und Bildungscampus Frankenhof (kubic). The music school, the adult education center, the youth art school, the German-French Institute with a day care center, a guest house, a bistro, event halls and club rooms will all find a home here in the future.

Together with various project partners, a place of remembrance and future is to be established on the site of the former Erlangen sanatorium and nursing home (HuPfla).

On the former Siemens site in Erlangen-Mitte, a new, lively inner-city district is being created on Werner-von-Siemens-Straße. This combines living, working, supply and leisure and creates sustainable added value for the citizens of Erlangen.

Due to the increasing number of pupils and to ensure the legal entitlement to all-day care, the Friedrich Rückert elementary school is being extended with a new building.

With "Regnitzstadt", Erlangen is to have a new district on the former large parking lot. At the same time, the district is to become a striking entrance to the city and be strengthened as a mobility hub.

In the coming years, the "Axis of Science" will be built in Erlangen's city center on Fahrstrasse and Sieboldstrasse between the Kollegienhaus and the "Himbeerpalast". Various new educational facilities, housing and commercial space will be created.

A parking concept has been developed for Erlangen's city center together with stakeholders. The concept is being tested as part of a pilot project at Bohlenplatz. The aim is to reduce sidewalk parking, set up loading zones and develop new parking regulations.

Zollhausplatz, a much-used transfer point, is to be extensively redesigned and become a "climate square". At the same time, an attractive entrance to the city center will be created.

The city museum in the heart of the old town presents the history of the Erlangen region from early times to the modern university city. The city council has decided to focus on expanding the city museum following the completion of the kubic.
