DJK VfL Krefeld sports field blocked because of school containers!

On January 24, 2025, DJK VfL Krefeld cannot use its career around the sports field until further notice. The reason for this is a newly created paved path initiated by the city's building management. This path became necessary to accommodate school containers on the sports grounds that are needed for the Forstwald primary school, which is expanded due to lack of space. The club management is extremely concerned about the lack of information about the scope of the paving work.

The 1st chairman of the association, Sandra Rohwedder, expressed that she has not received any feedback on her inquiries since December 2024. During a conversation with a city spokesman, it was announced that the association was informed about the project in spring 2023, but without detailed planning. This situation has a negative impact on the association, which is why Rohwedder is concerned that young people could leave the club.

criticism of information policy

Rohwedder received an appointment from the city for the beginning of February. The city emphasizes that school operations have priority and that the sports field is the only suitable location for the transition building. This confirms the challenges with which sports clubs are confronted with regard to the use of their facilities. WDR has already pointed out that the association has already pointed out this grievances and hopes for small improvements that of the on-site appointment could be discussed.
