Göttingen's Major Infrastructure Overhaul at Eichendorffplatz

Göttingen is undergoing a major infrastructure overhaul at Eichendorffplatz. The city's utility company is expanding its district heating network, revealing the need to modernize gas and water pipes. Coordination among all parties involved ensures efficient bundling of measures and minimal long-term costs and traffic disruptions.

The project began with a comprehensive sewer renovation. During excavation, it was discovered that the city's gas and water pipes required modernization. In response, the city of Göttingen's utility company adjusted the schedule to leverage synergies with other municipal infrastructure projects.

EAM Netz GmbH took the opportunity to modernize street lighting, replacing several light poles. The coordination and cooperation for these works typically involve local utility companies, municipal authorities, and sometimes telecom providers. For instance, Zweckverband Ostholstein coordinates water pipeline renewals with municipal road closures, while Stadtwerke companies manage supply and installation in cooperation with partners and regional contractors.

The expanded district heating network at Eichendorffplatz, along with the modernization of gas and water pipes, is a key component in achieving Göttingen's climate plan. The completion of these works is now scheduled for Friday, October 10, 2025, ensuring comprehensive infrastructure renewal with minimal future street interventions.
