Overview
- Rhineland-Palatinate, Neustadt and the Landesgartenschau company said on January 20 they are examining postponing the Neustadt show from April 15, 2027 to 2028.
- The organizer formally requested the delay, and the city and state said they are taking the request very seriously while reviewing cost implications.
- Key construction in Neustadt is now projected to finish around June 2027, with setbacks linked to a contractor insolvency and complications at the underpass beneath the Neustadt–Mannheim ICE line.
- For Oberhessen 2027, the planned Liebig-Therme in Bad Salzhausen will not be ready because it still lacks a building permit.
- Despite the spa delay and the earlier loss of Echzell’s Zukunftspark, FAZ reports the Oberhessen event remains viable, backed by roughly €27 million in funding and numerous EU LEADER-backed projects across 11 municipalities.
