Day care centre, Bremen
Bremen, Germany / 04.2023 - 06.2024
Daycare centres are just as rare in most cities as residential properties. This is why AMM Holding GmbH, investor and project developer of the new Bremen residential neighbourhood on Osterholzer Heerstraße, planned a childcare facility. PORR Hochbau Region Nord was the general contractor for the new 3-floor building with a gross floor area of around 2,051 m2. What makes it special: The daycare centre is the first sustainable daycare centre in Bremen. Thanks to the smooth running of the project, the PORR building construction team was able to hand over the new building on Osterholzer Heerstraße a few weeks earlier than planned.
Neighbourhood keeps young families in Bremen
The Bremen district of Osterholz is located in the east of the city and borders on the district of Verden in Lower Saxony. The structure of the housing stock is diverse and ranges from old farms and terraced housing estates to high-rise blocks in ‘Little Manhattan’. The fact that 30 terraced houses and 2 apartment blocks, including a day-care centre, have now been built on a plot of land measuring around 38,000 m2 that has been derelict for many years is particularly good news for young Bremen families.
Sustainability is a top priority
The daycare centre fulfils the energy requirements for an Efficiency House 40 NH.

PORR and AMM are building the first NH-certified day care centre in Bremen
A photovoltaic system has been installed on at least 50 % of the roof surfaces. DGNB Gold certification is also planned. ‘We are delighted with this order in two respects. The project harmonises perfectly with PORR's Green and Lean sustainability strategy,’ explains PORR Regional Manager North Björn Motzkus. In the interests of sustainability, the construction team decided not to use diesel to heat the building and instead chose air source heat pumps. The impact on the environment was also taken into account: An existing stand of trees on the site was protected and preserved, which is why the area was fenced off and not allowed to be entered. Irrigation was provided by the client. Amobile heat pump was used in the KITA Osterholz, which provides reliable heating even at temperatures well below freezing. ‘The fact that the air heat pump is fossil-free and energy-efficient is in line with both PORR's sustainability strategy and the client's ambition to build Bremen's first KITA with NH certification,’ says Burwinkel. The tender and calculation phase was already characterised by mutual trust. ‘As a general contractor, we have the primary duty to deliver an all-round carefree package. By ensuring compliance with costs, deadlines and quality, the customer has full planning security."
