A modern district administration at the Moltkestraße location – central, citizen-oriented, future-proof.
The Oberbergischer Kreis aims to consolidate its currently dispersed offices into a central expansion building.
This is to be built on Moltkestraße in Gummersbach - at the site of the already existing district office. Currently, the implementation of a single construction phase is planned. This only covers about 60 percent of the required total area.
- Construction start expected: October 2027
- Completion expected: October 2030
The focus is on the long-term reduction of costs. From completion, the project will cost around 1.54 million euros annually. In contrast, savings of approximately 1.56 million euros are expected in the first year (1.61 million euros in the fifth, 1.67 million euros in the tenth, etc.). While costs remain constant over the years, savings increase as rents and energy costs are expected to rise over time. Therefore, it can be said that centralization saves the district, municipalities, and citizens real money from the first year.
- More economical operations through administrative consolidation and more efficient processes
- Better accessibility for citizens
- Modern workplaces for employees
- Increased security and resilience
- Sustainable use of resources
The project pursues clear goals: more economical resource use, better accessibility, efficient processes, and a modern working environment. The centralization plans were developed in coordination with the district council, administration, and specialist planners. The expansion at the site was carefully decided based on objective criteria.
