Erding is planning to invest millions: new buildings and an innovation center!

An up-and-coming chapter for the city of Erding: Mayor Max Gotz recently visited the VR Bank construction site in the Erding town hall and was pleased with the fresh investments in the city center. Meanwhile, the city's robust 2026 budget plan is being drawn up, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. The administration is planning revenue of around 31.5 million euros from trade tax and around 37 million euros from income tax, which forms the basis for future projects such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

Over 15 large companies, including the renowned Erdinger Weißbräu and Therme Erding, provide an impressive economic base. This not only attracts local entrepreneurs, but also attracts almost two million guests to the thermal baths every year, which stimulates the region's flourishing hotel industry. Erding's location, just 14 kilometers from Munich Airport, also benefits tourism and the economy. The unemployment rate in the district is currently an encouraging 2.6 percent (as of November).

Investments and challenges

Significant investments are planned in the coming year: The city is planning to build two new fire stations, the extension of the Franz-Xaver Stahl Museum and a new triple gym. The construction of two daycare centers, a children's home and a school cafeteria on Ludwig-Simmet-Anger are also part of the project. These initiatives aim to accommodate the growing population and create a modern living space.

At the same time, however, Erding faces challenges. The high district levy of 45 million euros, which is historically high, in combination with personnel costs of 29.2 million euros, means that 11.7 million euros have to be taken from the capital budget. The plans for the residential building project at the air base are also being delayed because the Bundeswehr wants to use the property itself. In addition, the expensive housing in Erding remains an unsolved problem, although the city has laid a building block for its own housing association in the coming year.

Innovation in defense technology

Another exciting aspect for Erding is the planning of a new innovation center for defense technology at the air base. The Bundeswehr wants to set up this center in order to integrate innovations more effectively into existing processes. Annette Lehnigk-Emden, President of the Bundeswehr Procurement Office, emphasized at the Handelsblatt conference that this center is intended to bring together various Bundeswehr actors and experts. The proximity to Munich promises optimal connections to technological expertise, which is crucial for the development of the innovation center. However, details about the schedule and costs are still unclear Hard point reported.

The city of Erding will not only develop economically, but will also become the focus of international partnerships. As part of its urban development policy, Germany is required to share knowledge and experiences through international cooperation. Challenges such as affordable housing and sustainable urban development are the focus. The Bavarian state government actively supports these developments and contributes to a sustainable urban area BMWSB is underlined.

In summary, Erding has a lot up its sleeve. Whether through innovative projects, new training centers or structural measures, the city is moving. Let's look forward to the future!
