The federal and state governments have jointly developed a new structure for urban development funding from 2020: A total of €790 million will be available in three (instead of the previous six) concentrated urban development funding programmes. In addition to the funding requirement of climate change/climate adaptation, including urban greening, the possibility of stronger inter-municipal cooperation has also been added.
A further 200 million euros are available in the "Social Integration in the Neighbourhood" investment pact. This will enable the municipalities to press ahead with the expansion and refurbishment of their social infrastructure.
Federal Minister of the Interior Seehofer signed the corresponding administrative agreements today. Federal funding for urban development and social integration will thus be stabilised at a high level.
Federal Minister of the Interior Seehofer: "We are streamlining our funding structure. This will make it easier for cities and municipalities to implement their projects. In addition, climate protection will become a funding requirement. Urban development funding without climate protection will no longer exist in the future."
The following federal-state urban development programs are available for the 2020 funding year:
The administrative agreements will enter into force as soon as all federal states have countersigned.
The urban development funding provided by the federal and state governments triggers considerable follow-up investments. For the year 2020, it is assumed that the total investment volume triggered by the funding will be around 12 billion euros, and the expected gross value added will be around 14 billion euros. The subsidies also support the small and medium-sized local economy to a large extent: approx. 36 percent of the expected construction volume remains in the municipality itself, another approx. 48 percent in the region with a radius of 50 km. The construction industry benefits from this with 71 percent of the implemented investment funds.

The Federal Environment Ministry's funding programme now offers more opportunities for your climate protection projects. The programme has been significantly expanded with new funding priorities and improved funding for financially weak municipalities. A separate funding priority has been introduced for the renovation of day-care centres, schools, youth leisure facilities, sports facilities and swimming pools. The chances of receiving funding are good, because so far all eligible applications have been funded.
Since summer 2008, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) has been providing funding on the basis of the "Guideline for the promotion of climate protection projects in social, cultural and public institutions within the framework of the National Climate Protection Initiative"(Municipal Directive) climate protection projects in municipalities.
The interest in the municipal guideline is great: between 2008 and 2014, more than 7,000 projects were funded. Funds are available again this year and in the coming years. In 2014 alone, the funding volume amounted to more than 60 million euros and has once again resulted in all eligible applications being funded. The various funding priorities of the Municipal Guidelines can be found on the following pages.
Applications can be submitted to Project Management Jülich from now (1 October 2015) until 31 March 2016. All documents, fact sheets and further information can be found here.A brief description of the various funding priorities of the Municipal Guidelines can be found below.
With the 2015 information tour, the Service and Competence Centre: Municipal Climate Protection (SK:KK), in cooperation with the federal states, provides information on the funding available for municipalities in climate protection in 2016. Everyone who is interested in the funding opportunities for municipalities in climate protection is invited to the information events - whether as an applicant, as an advisory institution or as a multiplier.
The upcoming SK:KK info tour events around the Eifel are:
25.11.2015 SK:KK - Information Tour 2015: Kaiserslautern
02.12.2015 SK:KK - Information Tour 2015: Wiesbaden
