Two million euros for new kindergarten: Oberneukirchen invested!

Oberneukirchen, Österreich - In Oberneukirchen, the groundbreaking for the expansion and renovation of the local kindergarten took place on July 1st. With an investment of around two million euros, the municipal managers set a strong sign for improving family friendliness, education and sustainable infrastructure. Prominent guests such as the educational officer and LH deputy Christine Haberlander, Mayor Josef Rathgeb as well as Vice Mayor Anneliese Bräuer and several representatives of Caritas were present. This brings a clear direction to better support for the recent parishioners, such as meinbezirk.at reports.

Currently 75 children take care of the care in four groups, while the existing building only offers space for three groups. In order to meet the increasing demand, a fourth group is temporarily housed in the movement room and the parish hall serves as a gymnasium. For the kindergarten year 2025/26, around 80 children are already expected, which shows that the need for action urgently needs to be tackled. The mayor emphasizes that this investment is a clear message for the future of the community.

design and construction work

on the area, which the market town has acquired from the parish of Oberneukirchen, is planned for a comprehensive project for the renovation of the old building stock and for spatial expansion. With a total area of ​​1,200 m², the new daycare center next to the existing primary school is built. The new building offers space for a total of 51 childcare places and is divided into three usage units: crèche, kindergarten and day care center. This progress is recorded in a detailed draft of the architect Harald Kiesl, which studiokltus.de presented.

The construction of the new building is mostly massive, with a two floor that includes both a reinforced concrete ceiling and a wooden beam ceiling above the first floor. There will be an elevator to ensure that all important lounges are also accessible to wheelchair users. To improve energy efficiency, the building is built according to KFW40 standards and is to be equipped with a photovoltaic system in order to cover part of its energy requirement itself. The integration of natural materials and child -friendly safety precautions round off the well thought -out concept.

The way to better childcare
