Citizenship - Rostock plans to sell land for new theater building

At its meeting on Wednesday (from 4 p.m.), the Rostock city council wants to set the course for the sale of municipal properties and land to finance the construction of the new theater. There are 18 properties on the list of potential sites, including the former Best Western Hanse Hotel in Warnemünde and the freight village. The total proceeds for all properties are estimated at 120 million euros.

Initially, properties are to be sold for the equivalent of 34.5 million euros. This amount is part of the city's own contribution of 75 million euros to finance the new construction. Added to this are 51 million euros in subsidies from the state and a loan of 82 million euros.

In order to counter any cost increases and delays in marketing, the list of potential sales areas has been expanded to a volume of 120 million euros, according to the administration. The construction costs for the new theater currently amount to 208 million euros.

If the properties are sold, the city will refrain from granting a heritable building right, which means that the buyer will also become the owner of the property. In the event of a sale, a further resolution must be passed for each individual property.
