  • Further development of the district heating pipeline between Constance and Kreuzlingen

    Further development of the district heating pipeline between Constance and Kreuzlingen

    In summer 2022, Energie Kreuzlingen, KVA Thurgau and Stadtwerke Kon stanz announced their plans to build a cross-border district heating pipeline. The project is now entering the next phase, Stadtwerke Konstanz announced in a press release. The three partners have agreed to define the key points of the project and to draw up a preliminary project. The realisation decision will then be made on this basis.

    The planned district heating pipeline will run from the future waste incineration plant in Weinfelden to Kreuzlingen and on to Constance. In a memorandum of understanding, the partners have defined the roles and distribution of tasks in the planning process. KVA Thurgau will then take over the financing and realisation of the work required for the project planning. Energie Kreuzlingen and Stadtwerke Konstanz will contribute the technical and planning fundamentals.

    KVA Thurgau is to update the feasibility study already carried out on the basis of the specified technical and operational parameters and initiate the planning of the route. At the same time, the partners want to hold talks with potential partners for financing the project. In a second stage, the basis for obtaining a realisation credit is to be developed. According to current planning, the replacement waste incineration plant could supply its first heat by the end of 2031. The district heating pipeline should also be in place by this time if possible.

  • Careful transformation of the Papierwerd site resolved

    Careful transformation of the Papierwerd site resolved

    The Papierwerd site is to become a public place that is well connected to the adjacent urban space and invites people to stay, meet and exchange ideas. With this in mind, the city council has agreed to a careful transformation, in which the open space offer in particular is to be increased. The direction of development is based on the results of the “Forum Papierwerd” dialogue process and takes into account important framework conditions, such as the need to protect the temporary Globus building and water protection. How far the redevelopment of the Papierwerd site will go and what it will involve in detail is still open.

    Strategy process for the Papierwerd site
    The Papierwerd site strategy process was used to develop the basis for a broad-based decision on the future of the site. The core of this process is the “Forum Papierwerd” dialogue procedure carried out in 2022, in which experts from various disciplines, representatives from politics, associations and other organisations as well as the population participated. The process revealed that both structural and use-related changes are necessary for the desired opening and changeability of the area. The results are recorded in eleven central statements that contain important aspects for the future of the village.

    Immediate measures
    The transformation of the Papierwerd site will begin as soon as possible. Where changes in the sense of the results of the dialogue process are feasible on a low-threshold basis, (temporary) immediate measures will be implemented from 2024. For example, an upgrading of the open space south of the Globus temporary building or a more open, transparent design of the ground floor façade in the entrance area of the station bridge are planned.

    Next steps

    In an in-depth phase up to the beginning of 2025, various construction-related questions will be clarified and the handling of the Globus provisionals’ worthiness of protection as well as water protection will be further discussed. In the subsequent project phase, which is estimated to last until 2026, a competition will be held. This will be followed by project planning and the approval procedure. All work on the Papierwerd site should continue to be carried out transparently and in dialogue with the various parties involved.
