In 2021, the city of Idar-Oberstein adopted a guideline for the Wasenstraße district to promote modernization and repair measures as well as a redevelopment area. According to this, private homeowners in the district can receive a grant of up to €30,000.00 for the renovation of their building. In addition, it is also possible to write off the construction and planning costs incurred for modernization and repair measures against tax. Since May 2025, the city of Idar-Oberstein has commissioned a new external specialist office to continue providing comprehensive advice and support for private modernization and repair measures.
KOMMUNALENTWICKLUNG KEMPF primarily supports cities and municipalities in the preparation, management and implementation of urban development funding measures. In this context, it has also been advising private homeowners on the refurbishment of their properties and subsidy funding for over ten years. The employees are available as personal contacts and are happy to advise interested homeowners free of charge on all aspects of subsidy funding for their property and support them from the application process to the completion of the renovation measures. Personal consultations can be held on site or in the neighborhood office at Amtsstraße 7.
Together with the redevelopment office, the city of Idar-Oberstein is also planning to hold information events on the topic of private modernization and renovation in the coming months. With the help of funding for private modernization projects, the Wasenstrasse district is to be maintained and developed as an attractive, central residential location. Further information, such as the modernization guidelines and the application for a grant for private modernization and repair work, can be found on the Idar-Oberstein city website on the topic of Socially Integrative City - Wasenstrasse district(https://www.idar-oberstein.de/sozialestadt).
