New parking garage at Leopoldina Hospital: completion by the end of 2026!

Hennebergstraße, 97421 Schweinfurt, Deutschland - The renovation of the Leopoldina Hospital in Schweinfurt picks up speed. There are big changes with a new parking garage, which is to be completed by the end of 2026. The need for this new building is undisputed because the existing parking garage on Hennebergstrasse has been closed for static reasons since July 2023. The managing director Jürgen Winter presented the schedule in a meeting of the main and finance committee, which includes both the demolition of the old building and the new building. The slope on which the new parking garage is to be integrated is a special challenge. In addition, asbestos were found when demolishing, which makes the work more complicated.

The Leopoldina Hospital took over the project for the new parking garage at the end of 2023. According to [radioprimaton.de] (https://www.radioprimaton.de/schweinfurt-leopoldina-parkhaus-soll-end-2026- standing/), the total costs for demolition and new construction are around 13 million euros. A feasibility study stipulates that more than 350 new parking spaces will be created in a combination of a parking garage and surface parking spaces at the existing location. The renovation of the old parking garage was classified as uneconomical, so that the focus is now on the new building.

The schedule for the new building

Preparations for demolition are in full swing. From the turn of the year, the work should begin that comprises the production of a borrowing for slope protection and the excavation of the excavation pit. As reports [mainfranken.news] (https://mainfranken.news/2024/06/bis-2026-soll-das-neue-parkhaus-des-leopoldina-krankenhauses-in-hennebergstrasse-ready, the interventions in nature are kept as low as possible. Where trees have to be cleared, new plantings should be made as a replacement. A highlight of the new parking garage will be the greening of the roof area, which is not only visually appealing, but also contributes to improving the environment. In addition, a photovoltaic system for electricity generation is planned.

The completion of the new parking garage is aimed at for 2026. Again and again Jürgen Winter emphasizes that the plans have already started when the old parking garage was closed, which could accelerate the entire process. The extensive measure will also serve to significantly improve the parking situation for patients and visitors. A new parking garage in a system construction, similar to the existing on Mainberger Straße, is now to enrich the image of Hennebergstrasse.

transparent communication and commitment

The Leopoldina Hospital has undertaken to regularly inform itself about progress and further planning in order to keep the public up to date. This shows the commitment of those responsible to have an open ear for the concerns of the citizens: to have the inside and to provide the necessary information. Even if the construction work is initially associated with challenges, those responsible are confident that the new building will make a positive contribution to the infrastructure in Schweinfurt.
