The former technical town hall at the Collini Center Mannheim will not be demolished in the autumn as planned. The reason for this is a lack of approval from the city.
The owner “Deutsche Wohnwerte” from Heidelberg actually wanted to start demolishing the old technical town hall in the Collini center in the fall. For this, the investor needs a demolition permit. However, the city has not yet granted this.
Important documents for demolition are missing
The necessary documents are still missing, a city spokesperson told SWR. According to “Deutsche Wohnwerte” these documents should be available in full by the end of September. As soon as the office tower is demolished, work on the new building will begin. The owners of the neighboring residential tower in the Collini Center will be informed as soon as the permit is available.
