Zwickauer Straße development area: subsidy for private buildings
In individual cases, the City of Chemnitz is subsidising the renovation of private buildings in the new "Zwickauer Straße" development area. Specifically, there is the possibility of a lump-sum grant amounting to 25 per cent of the eligible expenditure.
Previously vacant, unrenovated or underused, partially renovated buildings built before 1949 and monuments of historical, artistic or urban significance for the surrounding neighbourhood are eligible for a lump sum. They must exhibit fundamental structural defects.
The services applied for funding should lead to an overall sustainable improvement in the usability of the building. It is not permissible to subsidise only individual services.
In individual cases, however, the deficiencies in the building can lead to funding only for the roof and façade. Security measures already subsidised by the city are excluded from this blanket subsidy. Projects by property developers (creation of owner-occupied flats) are generally excluded from funding.
The funding can be applied for by the owner in writing to the City of Chemnitz, City Planning Office, Friedensplatz 1, 09111 Chemnitz. If you have any queries, please contact the City Planning Office on 0371 4886032 or by email at stadtsanierung(at)stadt-chemnitz.de.
