New Marketplace Launches in Berleburg
Bad Berleburg's New Market Square Officially Opened
The town of Bad Berleburg, Germany, has unveiled its newly redesigned market square, marking a significant step in the ongoing renovations of the area. The project, which cost approximately 2.1 million euros, was primarily funded by the state of NRW, the Arnsberg district government, and the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, contributing 90% of the total funding.
The new market square aims to bring urban flair to Bad Berleburg, transforming it into a welcoming, multifunctional space for residents and visitors. In the coming weeks, more seating options will be added, including benches integrated with greenery, movable chairs for flexibility, and informal seating areas to encourage social interaction and relaxation.
The Odeborn riverbank now features barrier-free terraces with seating and flower beds, creating a picturesque setting that was admired by those attending the opening. The river itself has been exposed and renaturalized over the last 15 months, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the area.
The "Bridge of Remembrance," a poignant addition to the new market square, commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. This bridge connects the upper town with the market square and will be officially opened in mid-September 2025. The microphone of Radio Siegen was used during the opening ceremony, adding a touch of local flavour to the event.
Approximately 400 people attended the opening, which was part of BLB-Live. The new market square offers a unique atmosphere, making it a more attractive meeting point for the community. The opening of the "Bridge of Remembrance" is a special highlight of the ongoing renovations in Bad Berleburg.
For those seeking more detailed, up-to-date information on the project's progress or specific design elements, local municipal sources or the Bad Berleburg city planning office may provide the latest official plans. The new market square in Bad Berleburg was officially opened on July 24, 2025.
The microphone from Radio Siegen added a local touch to the opening ceremony of the new market square in Bad Berleburg. Residents can now enjoy the home-and-garden inspired seating areas and the picturesque Odeborn riverbank, a lifestyle transformation that aims to make the market square a more attractive meeting point in Bad Berleburg.
