Bruchköbel plans to sell the Bärensee campsite for just one euro!
The city of Bruchköbel plans to sell the Bärensee campsite in the Main-Kinzig district. The sale takes place for a symbolic price of one euro, which is surprising for many. The area comprises around 270,000 square meters, but the price is not so low for reason. An estimated investment backlog of eight to ten million euros will leave, which the buyer has to deal with. This applies in particular to urgent renovations of channels and power lines that the city no longer wants to finance. The city council has prompted these developments to submit a draft resolution to vote on March 25, 2025. In the event of approval, the place on January 1, 2026 could pass to the new operator who comes from the ranks of the camper and wants to continue the company as a family business. This reports Merkur .
The mayor Sylvia Braun (FDP) has expressed a positive statement about the development and emphasizes that the continued existence of the campsite for the camps was secured. However, the city administration no longer sees the operation of a campsite. In the past, the income from the campsite was often used for other urban projects, such as the subsidization of a deficient indoor pool. This has led to a broken relationship between the city and the tenants, which does not make the challenges of the renovation easier. OP-Online also reports that the city must also have a conversation with the city of Hanau, because the campsite has to The district lies.
challenges and investment needs
The necessary renovations are not only extensive, but also expensive. An estimated 80 percent of the properties of the campsite do not correspond to the current regulations, especially with regard to fire protection. Significant changes must be made to meet the security standards. The mayor emphasized that the buyer has already presented a operating concept and has received a test.
The entire situation has its origin in a water pipe break that left the campsite during the winter of 2023/2024 without water. These problems can no longer be ignored, and the city is forced to give responsibility. While the city plans to take over the employees of the campsite and use it in other areas, it remains unclear what will happen to the many campers and their investments.
It remains to be seen whether the new operator will be able to develop the campsite into a real place of wellbeing, or whether the existing social challenges will impair the efforts. The city administration must also ensure that the Bärensee is not viewed as a speculation object. After all, it is important to develop a clear definition of future use of the campsite, especially since there are no clear development plans. The sales process must also meet the legal framework and must not lose sight of the public.
