Finger-Pointing in Ellenbogengasse Renovations as Deadline Sails Past

The construction works in Ellenbogogasse, Wiesbaden were initially planned to be wrapped up by mid-2025, but it seems the end is nowhere in sight. The city and HAN Bau, the contracted construction company, are locked in a squabble over who's to blame for the delay.

According to the city, they axed the partnership with HAN Bau due to the lack of commencement of the construction work. But HAN Bau denies the claim, alleging they terminated the contract back in May, as the city had neglected their contractual obligations. One such neglected responsibility was the failure to provide a required declaration for the initiation of the construction work, which HAN Bau claims delayed the start by about a month.

HAN Bau Points a Finger at City Errors

Undeniably, even if HAN Bau started the works in April, they assert they wouldn't have met the mid-year deadline due to planning errors by the city. These errors include not allowing enough time for the work of third parties. The company also casts doubt on the feasibility of completing the project by October this year.

Cocktail of Discontent with Residents and Businesses

To keep affected residents and businesses in the loop, Wiesbaden city plans to enlist a new construction company to continue the renovations. The city aims to maintain open lines of communication with locals throughout the project.

In the construction realm, delays are not unfamiliar. Common culprits include weather conditions, shortages of materials, changes in design or plans, regulatory issues, and inadequate performance by contractors. City authorities are responsible for compliance with regulations and approvals of changes, while contractors such as HAN Bau are tasked with managing the project timeline, materials, and workforce.

For the most precise and updated insights on the Ellenbogengasse project, it's advisable to reach out to the City of Wiesbaden's official communication channels or HAN Bau directly. Their official statements will provide the most accurate picture of the situation.

  1. The manufacturing industry, particularly HAN Bau, is grappling with delays in the Ellenbogengasse renovations, partially attributable to errors in the city's planning, which has affected the project's finance and overall business timeline.
  2. Due to the holdup in Ellenbogengasse's renovations, affecting both residents and businesses, the city arranges to engage another construction company, a move financially and strategically positioned within the business sphere to ensure the project's successful completion, while maintaining open communication with the public.
