New shine for the footpaths on the Phoenix See: start construction work!
The city of Dortmund decided to redesign the footpaths around the popular Phoenixsee. From May 2025, extensive construction work is scheduled to begin to make the paths more comfortable for walkers. The north banking path is tackled in particular between the "Residence Phoenixsee" and the Kaiserberg. This is a reaction to repeated complaints from residents about dust in dry times and mud in moisture that difficult to walk on the previous water -bound cover layers. The exchange of these surfaces for concrete stone paving is part of a million -dollar project that includes about 1,300 meters on a total area of around 3,800 square meters, the paths between 2.5 and 5 meters wide.
During the construction work, pedestrians have to switch to the opposite south side of the lake, into the area of the marina. The cycle paths are also temporarily blocked, which means significant detours for the visitors of the lake. According to ruHR24.de, the work is carried out in sections. As soon as a section is completed, it will be released immediately.regardless of the weather conditions
With this measure, the city of Dortmund succeeds in offering visitors to use the paths independent of the weather. In the first half of 2026, the expansion of the footpaths on the south side of the lake is also planned. This includes an area of 4,200 square meters and takes place under a temporary full closure of around 1,000 meters. The goal is to avoid future conflicts between cyclists and walkers by giving the latter a safe and comfortable way without having to switch to cycle paths, as was often the case in the past.The redesign is not only an important improvement for pedestrians, but is also part of a larger urban planning planning that is supposed to promote the quality of life in Dortmund. According to information from dortmund.de become more pleasant, regardless of the weather conditions. Various votes from the citizens have suggested that this project advance to increase quality of stay.
For the residents, the playground on Kaiserberg remains available via the parking lot or the adjacent residential area, which guarantees accessibility despite the construction work. The responsible people emphasize that a close exchange with the population will take place to ensure that the needs of the citizens are adequately integrated into the developments, which is part of the city's informal planning strategy. This strategy aims at a citizen-related and flexible urban development, as described at the page of the urban planning and building regulations office .
