Future Costs for Clubs: Venue Fees Ahead - Complementary Child and Youth Sports Continue
Scoop on Pelzerhaken: Here's the lowdown on the potential usage fees for public sports facilities in Neustadt. Since February, the city's social affairs committee has been contemplating an extra charge for using schools, sports halls, or stadiums. At the latest meeting, they made it official—the city spends around 300,000 euros annually for sports promotion, but only brings in 3,000 euros from usage fees (mainly from external clubs). To make up for the difference, local clubs will soon be expected to pay a usage fee per hour, only for adults, and depending on the size of the hall.
The proposed fees are based on the current tariff order, which would generate 43,500 euros annually—far short of the estimated 135,000 euros required to cover adult sports costs. Concerns from citizens and clubs have included the condition of certain halls, the potential shift of training and matches from Neustadt to Grömitz, increased costs affecting children and young people, and increased bureaucracy for clubs.
Nevertheless, the city's mayor, Mirko Spieckermann, emphasizes a significant investment in sports infrastructure, such as the renovation of the sports hall at the primary school, hot water supply at the Jacob-Lienau School, and coastal gymnasium. The new fee structure will be incorporated into the bylaws on the collection of usage fees and will be reviewed in future meetings. The implementation is planned for January 1, 2026.
