Science City Bahrenfeld is an urban development project currently underway in the city, located near the Volkspark Altona. The district aims to be completed by the 2040s and will serve as a hub for research and development, with spaces designated for approximately 4,000 researchers, teachers, and 3,000 students.
One of the notable features of Science City Bahrenfeld is the recently opened Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD), a cutting-edge facility focused on research into quantum materials. The district will also feature new housing options, day-care centers, schools, shops, and sports and leisure facilities.
The comprehensive approach of Science City Bahrenfeld aims to showcase a model for urban development that integrates various aspects of city living for the future. As it continues to progress, it is expected to further solidify its reputation as a key player in the city’s urban landscape. With a focus on innovation, research, and sustainable living, the district is poised to become a dynamic and thriving community for residents, scholars, and professionals alike.
