Brandenburg's Police Trainee Housing on Track for Early 2026 Completion

The project aims to enhance police recruitment while plans for a second firefighter training facility remain under review.

A new housing facility for 400 police trainees in Oranienburg is progressing on schedule, with completion expected in early 2026.
Brandenburg's Interior Minister Katrin Lange stated the project may even finish ahead of schedule despite common construction delays.
The housing initiative is designed to address challenges in finding affordable accommodations near Berlin and to attract more young recruits to the police force.
Plans for a second state firefighter training school in Wünsdorf are still under evaluation, with a decision expected by March 2025.
Officials are weighing the cost and speed of using existing vacant buildings versus constructing a new facility, estimated to cost approximately €36 million.
