The Lindhorst Group, a family-run group of companies with operations in sectors including construction and property, celebrated the topping-out ceremony yesterday for the first of two phases of student accommodation in Braunschweig’s Nordstadt district. The traditional ceremony, held beneath the topping-out wreath and featuring a topping-out speech, took place in the presence of Braunschweig’s Head of Urban Planning, Gerold Leppa, as well as those involved in the construction and other representatives from politics, the local authority and the neighbourhood. The approximately 50 guests were treated to excellent catering. In-depth information was also presented on the new residential complex “Woncarrée am Nordanger” currently under construction. The development is taking place at Montgolfierstraße 10–12 in 38106 Braunschweig. Olaf Joop Bau GmbH is acting as the main contractor.
“Our construction project is progressing rapidly. The structural work on our apartment block in the first construction phase is now complete, the building envelope is watertight and the future building is already clearly visible. So we have the ideal conditions to now tackle the interior fit-out during the wet season,” says Holger Johannesmann, project manager at the Lindhorst Group, with delight. He adds: “We are celebrating this progress in the traditional manner with everyone involved in the build and would like to express our thanks for their work so far. We expect to complete the apartment block in the summer of 2027. We wish everyone involved in the build continued success. And anyone interested can already put their name down for an apartment. Rents here will be around 380 euros, plus a flat-rate charge for electricity and internet access. Thanks to the funding, this is an affordable option for young tenants, particularly given the high standard of finish in the fully furnished flats.”
ABOUT THE APARTMENT BLOCK IN THE WOHNCARREE AM NORDANGER
Since March 2026, the C-shaped apartment block has been under construction between Montgolfierstraße and Am Nordpark, directly adjoining the neighbouring residential development, onto which the building’s inner courtyard opens. The modern building will comprise four full storeys and a stepped storey, and will blend in perfectly with the neighbourhood thanks to its clean, understated façade and light colour scheme. The apartment block is being built to the KfW 55 standard. The flat roofs will be greened, and a solar installation will generate green electricity on site. Heating is to be supplied via the municipal district heating network.
Spanning a total gross floor area of approximately 4,640 square metres, the apartment block will accommodate 116 residential units, including four mini-shared flats, each for two occupants. In addition, the ground floor will feature storage rooms for 140 bicycles, including charging facilities for electric bikes, whilst the penthouse level will house a spacious communal area with a roof terrace, toilet facilities and a kitchenette. All floors are connected via a lift and two stairwells.
The accessible one-bedroom flats, fitted with exclusively designed furniture such as a bed, a desk, seating and wardrobes, measure around 23 square metres; 14 of the flats are also being built to be wheelchair-accessible and are slightly more spacious at approximately 29 square metres. All rental units feature a combined living and sleeping area, a hallway, a shower room, a kitchenette and storage space. In the mini-shared flats, which have two living areas each measuring approximately twelve square metres, the residents share a bathroom and a kitchen-dining area, as well as the hallway.

EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY, PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND THE TRANSPORT NETWORK
The Wohncarrée am Nordanger is part of Braunschweig’s Northern Ring area, an urban district that has been gradually developed into a new residential neighbourhood in recent years. It is situated in an urban setting with easy access to the university campuses, the city centre, the main railway station, and local amenities, social services and cultural facilities. Public transport links are provided directly via bus stops within the neighbourhood, whilst the city centre can be reached by bike in ten minutes. The nearby Stadtanger has been designed as a central cycle and footpath with adjoining green space and is intended as a meeting place for the area’s residents. The local recreational area around the Ölpersee, with its leisure pool, the Nordpark and the Ringgleis are also in the immediate vicinity and enhance the quality of life in the area, which combines compact urban living with surroundings that are both practical for everyday life and attractive for leisure activities.
There will be 24 car parking spaces on the site of the Wohncarrée at Nordanger; three of these are reserved for car-sharing vehicles, and a further four are accessible for disabled people. The car parking spaces will be equipped for electric vehicles. In addition to bicycle parking spaces in the apartment block and the residential tower, twelve covered bicycle parking spaces and two spaces for cargo bikes are planned on the site. Further bicycle parking facilities will be available for visitors in future in front of the building entrances.
The residential complex at Nordanger was designed by the architectural practice plan- & bauwerk Winsen/Aller GmbH, Jan von Hörsten.
