"Commencement of the new Kitá in Solingen-Unterburg set for 25th August"
Volksbank Kindergarten in Solingen-Unterburg Opens After Flood Damage
The city of Solingen and the Volksbank im Bergischen Land have collaborated to construct a new kindergarten in Solingen-Unterburg, replacing the facility that was severely damaged by flooding in July 2021. The new kindergarten, named the "Volksbank Kindergarten," is now ready to welcome children, with operations set to commence on August 25.
The Volksbank im Bergisches Land took over the property from the city of Solingen, financed the new building, and oversaw its construction. To prevent future flood damage, the site for the new building was raised by approximately 70 centimeters. The new kindergarten offers 555 square meters of space for up to 60 children.
Technical rooms and the heat pump were installed on the roof of the new kindergarten, making use of the available space efficiently. The new facility is equipped with modern building and heating technology, including LED lighting and an air heat pump. Around 15 pedagogical specialists will form the care team at the new kindergarten.
This is the third Volksbank kindergarten in Solingen, with the Volksbank im Bergisches Land having completed five kindergarten construction projects. Another Volksbank Kindergarten, the "Kita 'Lucky Mushrooms'" in Mitte, was handed over to the Bethanien Diakonissenstiftung by the Volksbank im Bergisches Land in summer 2023.
The time and cost plan for the project were fully adhered to, with a budget of 1.5 million euros. The new kindergarten was completed in approximately one year of construction. The Volksbank im Bergisches Land will assume patronage for the new facility, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to supporting the community.
Further details about the architect involved, funding sources, or community programs linked to the new Volksbank kindergarten are not currently available. For more information, local news reports from Solingen or targeted information sources may provide additional insights. Construction work on another Volksbank Kindergarten in Solingen is scheduled to begin in September 2024. The new kindergarten will boast an approximately 1,000 square meter outdoor area.
The Volksbank im Bergisches Land has expanded its involvement in the community by constructing a new kindergarten, integrating home-and-garden elements to provide an improved lifestyle for the children. The voluminous outdoor area of the new Volksbank Kindergarten in Solingen-Unterburg will be approximately 1,000 square meters, encouraging children to engage in outdoor activities and learn about nature.
