Explanations on planning

With its existing club and professional sports structures, the Soers sports park already represents an area that creates identity and attracts visitors from beyond the city limits of Aachen. However, the sports park is currently unable to fully exploit its potential in terms of meeting demand.

As part of the redrafting of the AACHEN*2030 land use plan, the area was to be retained as a green space with a "sports field" purpose, but the objective was contradicted due to the conditions for approval from 2021. As a result, there is currently no target statement for the planning area at the land use planning level. The area is now to be designated as a special area with the purpose of "sport, leisure and culture", supplemented with the symbol SO-SFK 2.I -Sportpark Soers / Mitte.

An extensive participation process was initiated as a result of the urban development need to redefine the objectives and key uses of the planned area.
