Nidderaanwen plans new village center by 2050 14.07.2026

The municipality of Nidderaanwen is planning a complete redesign of its "Am Sand" village center to sustainably accommodate the strong growth of the last 15 years. Mayor Frédéric Ternes emphasizes that the municipality is growing faster than the national average and must therefore adapt public infrastructure, such as schools, childcare centers, and sports facilities, to this development. The winning competition project, developed by the architecture firm "Dewey Muller," relies on the "15-minute" principle, where all residents can reach essential infrastructure within a 15-minute walk. Christine Muller from the architecture firm explains that the car is no longer the predominant mode of transport but must adapt to a different hierarchy to allow more space for pedestrians and cyclists.
