The Property
Between the B87 bypass and the existing residential development along Florian-Geyer-Strasse lies a 12,793 m² brownfield site — a former landfill, closed for 39 years, ready for a new chapter.
18 homes for young families — 12 detached single-family houses and 3 semi-detached houses. 1-2 stories, Satteldach roofs, gardens, KfW-EH55. Fitting the neighbourhood and the Lieblingsstadt strategy.
Considered allocation — 62% net residential land with gardens, forest buffer and green spaces
Development Concept
12 detached single-family houses and 3 semi-detached houses — a green residential area with gardens, Satteldach roofs, and a residential street with turning area.

The noise barrier solves two problems at once:
Sound protection against the B87 + on-site relocation of excavated material. No expensive removal, no landfill disposal costs.

Political Challenges
Every municipality faces structural problems. This project addresses six of Eilenburg's most pressing challenges — with a single development.
Challenge
Eilenburg has ~16,500 residents — far from the 20,000 target of the Lieblingsstadt campaign. Young families move to Leipzig because attractive building plots are lacking.
Our Solution
18 homes for young families and S4 commuters. Satteldach roofs, gardens, KfW-EH55 — exactly the kind of offer that brings families to Eilenburg.
Challenge
Eilenburg has hardly any available building plots for families. Demand for homes is high, but supply is missing — young families relocate to surrounding areas.
Our Solution
12 EFH (400-600 m²) + 3 DHH (300-400 m²). Proven model — fitting the neighbourhood with Satteldach roofs and open construction.
Challenge
The former landfill has been fallow since 1987 — a legacy in the cityscape and in the records. The city has neither budget nor obligation for remediation, but the problem remains.
Our Solution
The developer bears all costs for expert reports, supervised construction, and the noise barrier (on-site excavation). €0 from the city budget — the legacy becomes building land.
Challenge
Investments in housing, infrastructure, and development compete with schools, roads, and social services. Every euro counts.
Our Solution
Infrastructure, contamination management, noise protection — all at the developer's expense (development agreement §123 BauGB). The city only benefits: property tax, income tax share, infrastructure utilisation.
Challenge
Eilenburg has unused brownfield sites in the middle of the urban area. These areas could provide housing but have been fallow for decades — missed potential.
Our Solution
Harmonious integration between Schondorfer Mark and Karl-Marx-Siedlung. Not a greenfield development — infill development with a proven model.
Challenge
Saxony and the federal government demand climate-neutral construction. Existing buildings in Eilenburg are largely uninsulated. New standards must be set.
Our Solution
All 18 homes built as KfW-Effizienzhaus 55 with heat pumps. Modern energy standards that position Eilenburg as a forward-looking family city.
One project — six solutions. Without a single euro from the city budget.
Visualisation

Together for Eilenburg
This project is more than a construction proposal — it is a contribution to the future of Eilenburg. 18 homes for young families who will make this their home — fitting the neighbourhood.

GRZ
18 homes mean approximately 60 new citizens — young families and commuters, supporting Eilenburg on the path to 20,000 residents.
Property tax for 18 homes, income tax share from ~60 new citizens, and no infrastructure costs for the city — the developer bears everything (development agreement §123 BauGB).
Eilenburg needs building plots for families. EFH with Satteldach roofs and gardens — just like the existing neighbourhood. Harmonious integration, not an alien element.
All 18 homes as KfW-Effizienzhaus 55 with heat pumps. Modern standards that position Eilenburg as a forward-looking family city.
The property serves as an infill between Schondorfer Mark and Karl-Marx-Siedlung. Not a greenfield development — urban infill.
Satteldach roofs, open construction, max. 9.50 m ridge height — fitting the existing development along Florian-Geyer-Strasse. Not an alien element, but a complement.

"Hr. Zakrzewski confirmed fundamental interest in the further development of the site on 16.02.2026 and expressly recommended submitting a Bauvoranfrage. This project transforms a site that has been fallow for 39 years into a home for approximately 60 people — without a single euro from the city budget."
No risk for the city. No costs. Only gain — for Eilenburg and its new citizens.
