Explanations on planning

In 2022, the city of Aachen decided to draw up an urban master plan for the further development of the Soers sports park. Karres en Brands (Hilversum, Netherlands) was commissioned for this in February 2023. The mobility and noise issues were dealt with by PGT Umwelt und Verkehr (Hanover). The final report was presented to the City of Aachen's planning committee in March 2024. The overarching goal of the master plan is to create a "sports park for all", as it was recognized that the sports park is currently unable to fully exploit its potential in terms of meeting the needs for activity areas and recreational opportunities for the city's entire population. Furthermore, the existing clubs in the sports park are to be strengthened and new areas created for clubs. The intention is to promote top-class sport and popular sport in an outstanding manner. In order to create a high quality of stay within the sports park, motorized traffic is to be largely kept out of the area.

The development plan is being drawn up for the area of the former police headquarters and the adjoining areas to the south, the so-called "Lupe Nord". Here, the legal planning requirements for the implementation of a multifunctional sports hall, parking infrastructure ("Mobility Hub"), an equestrian sports hall, a para and youth stadium as well as the associated development and open spaces for recreational and leisure sports uses are to be created.

The urban development concept from the master plan was updated as the basis for the development plan. In the master plan, the plans provided for the planned indoor riding arena to be built over the so-called "Hockeyweg" (current connecting path from Hubert-Wienen-Straße to the sports areas to the west). In the meantime, the plans have been changed so that the location of the indoor riding arena has been swapped with the para and youth stadium. Following the demolition of the existing Albert-Vahle-Halle, the new indoor riding arena is now to be built in a similar location.
