Overview
- The Niddastraße 49 site now offers 16 inhalation places and 12 injection places, quadrupling the smoking capacity.
- Operator IDH describes it as Germany’s largest inhalative consumption room, with added rest beds, new toilets and climate control alongside on‑site medical and social services.
- The city contributed €200,000 toward the refurbishment, with IDH and donations covering the remainder.
- The Hessian health ministry has inspected the room and the written approval is still pending, with opening for clients expected in December.
- Officials say the upgrade responds to a scene where about 80% of roughly 200 severely dependent people smoke crack, while a larger €12 million center at Niddastraße 76 and further facility upgrades are in the pipeline.
