The Office for Housing and Urban Renewal (AWS) of the City of Leipzig initiated the “Stadtteilmanagement Schönefeld“ (neighborhood management Schönefeld) as part of the “Stadtumbau Ost“ (Urban Redevelopment East funding) programme. The programme consists of three components:
- Urban redevelopment management
- Energy-related redevelopment management
- Neighborhood management for an inclusive community
It is based on the „Integriertes Stadtteilentwicklungskonzepts Leipzig-Schönefeld (STEK Schönefeld)“ (Integrated Neighborhood Development Concept Leipzig-Schönefeld), published in 2016. The aim is to achieve sustainable development at an urban, economic and social level by pooling public and private commitment and investment activities. The Schönefeld neighborhood management team serves as a point of contact for all individuals and entities interested in making a positive impact in Schönefeld. This includes private individuals, non-profit organisations, initiatives, traders, and businesses.

Verfügungsfond Schönefeld (Disposal Fund)
As part of the urban development programme, there is a funding instrument called the Disposal Fund. It can be used to implement smaller projects in the Schönefeld urban renewal area that contribute to improve the district’s infrastructure as quickly and unbureaucratically as possible.
The Schönefeld Neighborhood Management advises interested parties on the application process, organises the activities of the allocation committee and supports the City of Leipzig with the associated communication.
The current deadlines for submitting applications for the Disposal Fund are 15/03/2024 / 15/05/2024 / 15/08/2024.
Further information on the disposal fund is available at

Office hours of the Schönefeld Neighborhood Management
The further upgrading and sustainable development of Schönefeld can only be achieved by working together. Numerous measures have already been implemented as part of the federal and state programme „ Wachstum und nachhaltige Erneuerung“ (Growth and Sustainable Renewal). A number of projects are currently being planned, prepared or implemented.
Questions about these urban plans, as well as further ideas and suggestions, are received, collected and put up for discussion by the neighborhood management. The City of Leipzig, Office for Housing Construction and Urban Renewal (AWS) supports all those who want to make their neighborhood a better place to live and work.
On Tuesdays, usually every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 13.00 to 17.00, the Schönefeld Neighborhood Management is on site with consultation hours in the Café KulturGut at Schönefeld Palace, Zeumerstrasse 1.
