Construction begins on the "Model block at Külzberg," Wittenberge
At the groundbreaking ceremony for the model block at Külzberg in Wittenberge on November 6, 2025, the project was presented to the public and the funding agreement with the State of Brandenburg was signed.
With this model block, GRAFT is redesigning a prefabricated building from the 1960s, transforming the existing small floor plans into new, flexible apartment layouts and types that address current issues such as demographic change. The goal is to offer needs-based housing at affordable prices.
The overall project also emphasizes the community aspect with improved amenities: a large roof terrace and a neighborhood meeting place on the ground floor are available for all residents to use and connect the interior spaces with the spacious outdoor area.
The project includes apartments with 2 to 5 rooms, accessible either without thresholds or barrier-free. In addition, modern two-story maisonette apartments with private gardens are being built on the lower floors.
Currently, the dismantling work is underway in the apartments, removing non-load-bearing walls, floors, and sanitary facilities.
