Overview

  • Senatsbauverwaltung plans to package the asbestos-laden rubble on site, then transport it offsite starting next week to minimise health risks.
  • A dedicated loading station is being established at the site, which the Landesamt für Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz will inspect on Friday.
  • Ambient air measurements have commenced around the site to establish a baseline for future safety monitoring.
  • The Senate approved a €263.4 million redevelopment plan in May that schedules construction from 2026, stadium completion by 2028, full park readiness by 2030.
  • A local citizen initiative has questioned disposal procedures as well as the project’s financial sustainability, prompting official rebuttals.
