Jena, August 10, 2026 – As part of urban development, the Jena city administration is planning an adjustment to the “dotsource Campus” project on Saalbahnhofstraße. The goal is to create additional living space by redesigning the top floors.
- What: Public disclosure regarding the amendment of the “dotsource Campus” (48 residential units instead of offices)
- Period: August 10, 2026, to August 21, 2026
- Inspection: Jena City Hall Portal or in person at the building Am Anger 26, 2nd floor
- Contact: 03641 49-5202 or fd-stadtplanung@jena.de
Change via the “Construction Turbo”
The planned conversion of the two top floors of the base building from office space into 48 residential units is made possible by the application of the so-called “Bauturbo” (construction turbo). This legal regulation in the Federal Building Code aims to accelerate the creation of housing in cases of deviations from existing building law.
Public Participation
Before the final decision on this planning variant is made, the Jena city administration is once again giving citizens the opportunity to comment. The relevant documents and updated expert reports can be viewed in the City Hall Portal.
Alternatively, physical inspection is possible at the administrative building Am Anger 26:
- Monday & Tuesday: 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–16:00
- Thursday: 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–18:00
- Friday: 08:00–12:00
Written or electronic statements can be submitted to the Urban Planning Department by August 21, 2026. Further details can also be found in the current Official Gazette No. 31/26.
