Stephan Martini, who is developing the project says that if the first proposal goes through, a specialist center will be set up. It would be for doctors who are already practicing in Bad Godesberg. By putting them together under one roof, it is believed that a synergy effect would take hold.

For patients, it would mean a shorter waiting time and a convenient location as the area is well-served by bus and train. “A core element would be an operating room area for outpatients,” says Martini. Dermatological procedures could be carried out there, for example.

In general, the idea is to maintain and reuse the buildings surrounding and including the town hall. Another idea would be a rehabilitation clinic but developers of the proposed clinic did not want to discuss plans with General Anzeiger at this time.

Reportedly, it would be housed in a new building, and have around 160 beds, with 230 employees. The association “Haus & Grund” wants discussions to be held in a transparent manner and has initiated a discussion evening open to the public. “We are trying to achieve something good for Bad Godesberg and something the citizens of Bad Godesberg find desirable,” explained Chairman Pitt Hoffman.

At the open meeting, Independent Bonn International School (IBIS) will present its plans for the area near the Max-and-Mary Kindergarten. It has proposed an international campus in the area. The public meeting is open to everyone and will take place on Wednesday, November 23 at 8 p.m. in the Stadthalle, Koblenzer Str. 80. (Orig. text: Ayla Jacob)
