Building of the First Synthetic Grass Field in Kalkar
The construction of an artificial turf pitch, with an investment of over 750,000 €, is a significant part of the football club's plan. The project, nearing completion, has been made possible by the considerable voluntary work of the club members, resulting in savings of over 40,000 €.
Mayor Dr. Britta Schulz and representatives of the administration, along with DJK Grün-Weiß Appeldorn e.V., observed progress in the construction of a new sports facility. The planned artificial turf field, measuring 64 x 100 m, will be laid on a renewed and reinforced base layer with an elastic layer of rubber granulate and a 15 mm thick artificial turf surface.
DJK Appeldorn thanked the administration for their excellent support and consistent planning, as well as the project management by Geo 3 GmbH. The footballers of the club highlighted the new and broader all-year training and playing opportunities with the construction of the artificial turf pitch.
The mayor emphasized the planned cross-club usage of the new facility. In fact, the sports development concept, approved in September 2023, includes various projects and implementation ideas beyond the construction of the artificial turf pitch. This means that the new sports facility will benefit not just DJK Grün-Weiß Appeldorn e.V., but also other local sports clubs.
As of the latest available information, the construction project for the artificial turf pitch is progressing according to schedule. The planned handover of the new artificial turf facility is scheduled for late summer 2025. If you need the most precise and updated details, I recommend contacting DJK Grün-Weiß Appeldorn e.V. directly or checking their official communications. The handover of the pitch, after completion of acceptance, is scheduled for late October.
The construction of the new sports facility, which includes an artificial turf field for football, is progressing as planned, thanks to the administration's support and project management by Geo 3 GmbH. This investment in sports infrastructure will not only benefit DJK Grün-Weiß Appeldorn e.V., but also other local sports clubs, as the sports development concept includes various projects beyond the construction of the artificial turf pitch. Additionally, the club's footballers are eagerly anticipating the all-year training and playing opportunities that the new artificial turf pitch will provide, contributing positively to their finance and sports performance.
