Fiber optic expansion in Pittersberg: 180 new connections by the end of 2025!

A new milestone for the digital infrastructure in the region: The groundbreaking ceremony for the fiber optic expansion in Pittersberg and the surrounding area has just been completed. Representatives of the municipality of Ebermannsdorf, the construction company mih NET Amberg and Glasfaser Direkt GmbH were present at a small, solemn ceremony. In the coming months, there will be a lot of work on laying fiber optic routes, and the goal is ambitious: around 180 new connections are to be provided by the end of 2025. About two-thirds of this goes to fiber Direkt GmbH, which is driving the project forward on its own, while the rest is supported by funding from the Free State of Bavaria. Central Bavarian reports a total volume of 737,441 euros for this project.

The affected places are Pittersberg, Breitenbrunn, Meierhof, Frauenlohe, Au, Arling, Niederarling and Herfuge. In total, around 30 kilometers of new fiber optic routes will be laid, which will mean real progress in terms of internet speed for many households. Mayor Erich Meidinger (CSU) and his colleagues from the community are pleased about the development. This not only creates a digital connection, but also takes a significant step towards rural digitalization.

Starting signal for the work

The first construction work begins this week with house inspections to make the necessary preparations. A total of two construction crews will be deployed for the civil engineering work, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of September 2025. At an information event in the Pittersberger Schützenheim, citizens received their first insights into the project and the next steps. Fiber optic direct emphasizes that the delays that often occur in broadband deployment in the region should be avoided so that all deadlines can be met.

Loud Bavarian State Ministry However, for digitalization, over 97 percent of households already have access to fast Internet with at least 30 Mbit/s, and in the near future over 99 percent of households will even have access to it. The Bavarian Broadband Center in Amberg plays a central role in coordinating the necessary steps for a smooth expansion and networking the local players.

With the fiber optic expansion in Pittersberg, the region now has a future-proof internet connection, which will significantly improve the digital everyday life of many citizens. It remains exciting to see how the work develops and when the first households will be ready for connection.
