If the spades are stung in the specially poured sand piles, it is all about symbolism and positive messages. So it was on Thursday: At the official start of construction for the new company headquarters of the car manufacturer Opel in Rüsselsheim, which is also intended to record the colleagues responsible for the Stellatis Germany business. Exactly pay or at least one vague information on how much money is spent on the planned “Green Campus” on Mainzer Straße or how many employees should work later in the five -storey building, but were not to be obtained: At the turn of the year 2026/27, the first employees could probably draw in the new building planned for a new property planned. From then on, the Opel and Stellatis management as well as research and development departments and a prototype-producing design center are to find space. The all-round green, but also sustainable and later to be operated, and the adjacent production halls will ultimately be everything that remains of the old Opel plant. A large part of the areas that are no longer needed, all in all it is about 700,000 square meters between Mainzer Straße and Bundesstraße 43, the Belgian real estate developer VGP has already taken over in 2023, which now also realizes the modern “Green Campus” on part of the area. The double EE for “Employees” and “Environment”-that is, for employees and the environment-stands: “We not only build a building” similar campus projects as in Rüsselsheim, according to Florian Huettl, the Opel CEO and Germany boss of Stellantis, currently also at the locations Poissy in France and Mirafiori in Italy. With these projects and the pan -European concept, the basis for the future is laid. “We not only build a building, we are also creating a perspective for the next generations,” said Huettl in his short speech in a factory hall that was released for demolition. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new building, for which Rüsselsheim’s mayor Patrick Burghardt (CDU) had also come to Tor 65a, is “not only a symbolic act, but also a promise to the employees”. More on the subject of further advertisements, it is all the more gratifying for the city and its citizens that Opel and Stellantis clearly confess to the previous location of the automobile manufacturer, they mayor Burghardt said. In the west of Rüsselsheim, a new commercial quarters are also to be built over the next few years, in which the city wants to work closely with the real estate developer VGP in Europe. With all of what is to be done in Rüsselsheim in the development, modernization or conversion of the newly built or still used area, it is the “largest Brownfield project in the company’s history,” said VGP boss Jan van Geet. Shadow-donating balcony and a green roof building itself should be open, for example: With natural light and high -quality materials, offer a “modern German work environment”, as it was said. Shadow-giving balconies, a green roof with an integrated photovoltaic system and the use of sustainable building materials should ensure that the claim to create a green, that is, to create CO2-neutral campus as possible.

And despite the planned parking garage, the surrounding area of the building, in which state -of -the -art and flexible work is supposed to create suitable office spaces, is so heavily greened on the designs that the viewer probably believes in the middle of a nature reserve in Rüsselsheim. In reality, however, the excavators and construction vehicles are now on to make room for everything that should grow and thrive in and around the campus on Mainzer Strasse in the next 24 months.
