The Bundeswehr plans to establish a new recruitment centre in Kempten. This location will be one of a total of four new centres being set up in the Free State of Bavaria. The premises designated for this purpose are located on Sandstraße and comprise an area of over 2,000 square metres. These spaces were previously used by Kempten's public health department.
GAUKEL Commercial Properties GmbH played a significant role in the real estate aspect of this settlement. The company acted as a broker and successfully brought together the relevant contracting parties to find a suitable location solution for the Bundeswehr. This brokerage contributes to repurposing an existing property for new use, thereby securing its future.
Strategic Repurposing and Timeline
The repurposing of the areas previously occupied by the public health department for the new recruitment centre represents a needs-based subsequent use. The creation of such central contact points is part of a strategic adjustment of the Bundeswehr infrastructure in Bavaria. The choice of Kempten as a location underscores the city's regional importance for public institutions.
The new recruitment centre is scheduled to commence operations on 1 July 2027 or earlier. Until this date, the necessary renovation and adaptation measures must be carried out on the premises on Sandstraße to meet the requirements of a modern recruitment operation. The parties involved are working towards timely implementation of this project.
The redesign and occupation of the property by the Bundeswehr strengthens property utilisation in Kempten and demonstrates the ability to efficiently and future-orientatedly transform existing spaces. Coordination by specialised real estate companies like GAUKEL Commercial Properties is a crucial factor for the success of this project.
