Göttingen's Obere Karspüle to Close for Six Weeks for District Heating Expansion

Göttingen's Obere Karspüle street is set to undergo significant changes this autumn, as part of the city's climate plan to expand renewable heat supply. The street will be temporarily closed and transformed into a dead-end, with access and exit rerouted via Albaniplatz.

From mid-September to late October, the Obere Karspüle will be fully closed between Friedrichstraße and house number 12. This is to accommodate a new construction project that aims to expand the district heating network in the area. During this period, the one-way street regulation will be suspended, making the Obere Karspüle a dead-end street. Residents and visitors are advised to use Albaniplatz for access and exit to the street during the construction period.

The expansion of the district heating network in the Obere Karspüle is a key step in Göttingen's climate change plan. The city aims to increase its use of renewable heat sources, contributing to its overall climate goals. While the specific company responsible for the expansion has not been publicly announced, it is likely that a local or regional energy provider or a specialized construction firm has been commissioned for the project.

The Obere Karspüle will be closed for approximately six weeks starting mid-September, with access and exit rerouted via Albaniplatz. The closure is necessary for the expansion of the district heating network, a key component of Göttingen's climate change plan. The city and the responsible construction company will likely provide further updates as the project progresses.
