Anklam is planning to redesign the port: Is the construction block coming?

Exciting changes are on the horizon in Anklam, a charming Hanseatic town on the southern bank of the Peene. In 2023, the city presented an ambitious master plan to redesign the waterfront areas, with the aim of shifting the focus from port operations to tourism and recreation. This is reported by the Uckermark Kurier, which has examined the city's transformation plans in detail.

As part of the planned realignment, several measures are on the program under the title “Living and tourism in the port of Anklam”, which will be discussed in the next city council. A central point is the adjustment of the land use plan, which currently covers the port areas. The new plan will expand the area to include mixed-use zones and tourist attractions, while also providing strategic considerations for residential and educational facilities.

Structural changes and protection of historical buildings

The city administration is also planning to impose a construction ban for two years to ensure that no construction projects stand in the way of the progress of the new plans. Mayor Michael Galander emphasizes the importance of this new planning, especially with regard to the necessary construction of a new fire department. The preservation of the historic storage buildings and the restoration of a previously closed canal should also be given priority.

• Flächennutzungsplan umfasst derzeit ca. 5,5 Hektar, welche als „Hafen“ ausgewiesen sind.
• Geplante Erweiterungen erfahren auch eine Zuteilung für den Neubau der Feuerwehr.
• Eine mögliche einjährige Verlängerung der Bausperre wird in Betracht gezogen.

Another aspect of the redesign is the forward-looking agenda, which also places a particular focus on living space. The population of Anklam is currently 12,177 inhabitants, which brings with it an increasing need for living space and the corresponding infrastructure, as the city's current plans continue.

Industrial companies before the move

A topic that has been discussed in the city dialogues for a long time is the planned relocation of an industrial company that cannot stay in the long term due to a lack of agreement with a commercial tenant. The new development plan is intended to create a special right of termination to enable the company to withdraw.

The progress in urban planning is well received in Anklam as it sets the course for the city's sustainable development. The potential to transform the port into a vibrant center for tourism and leisure is seen as a great opportunity. A further look at the background of urban planning in Germany is provided by the urban planning website, which illustrates historical and current developments and sets the framework for such projects.

In general, the land use plans in Anklam are also constantly being reviewed. These reviews are important, especially when it comes to demographic changes, economic developments or new legal requirements, all of which influence urban planning.

So it remains exciting to see how Anklam's port area will develop in the coming months. Whether the redesign plans can be successfully implemented depends on the cooperation of all those involved. In this sense, one can only hope that the city has a good hand in realizing its visions.
