Development of the innovation campus makes further progress
27.11.2025 – The final development of the Innovation Campus in Offenbach is making further progress: After Mainstrasse in the fall, the first of several stages for Mühlheimer Strasse will now start on Friday, November 28, 2025, in order to connect the new location for future-oriented companies to Mühlheimer Strasse.
In a first step, the existing fence system that currently runs along the area on Mühlheimer Straße will be dismantled. To this end, the pedestrian path to the north between Kettler Straße and Untere Grenzstraße will be closed. The measure is expected to last until December 19, 2025. The parallel cycle path on Mühlheimer Straße will not be affected.
The upcoming work will serve as preparation for the subsequent construction phase, which is scheduled to begin in early 2026. This means that the development of the Innovation Campus is still on schedule despite the early cold snap: All construction measures should therefore be completed by the end of 2027, subject to unforeseen delays.
Second construction phase from January
In the second construction phase, which is expected to begin in January 2026, the new, final footpath and a new, final cycle path with an accompanying green strip will be built, separated from the footpath. The northern edge of the new footpath along Mühlheimer Straße will also form the boundary of BioSpring's second building plot. In addition, a new bus stop will be built towards the city center. All of these things will already be in their final state for the Innovation Campus. In addition, a temporary construction site access road will be built into the Innovation Campus project site.
Information about traffic changes will be provided in good time
The Stadtwerke Offenbach subsidiary INNO Innovationscampus Offenbach GmbH & Co KG, which has been commissioned to develop the INNO Campus, will provide comprehensive and early information about traffic changes associated with the next construction phase from January 2026 to June 2026. "We won't have a full closure here like on Mainstrasse, but we will have restrictions that people will feel - to put it bluntly: they will be stuck in traffic jams," says Lord Mayor Dr. Felix Schwenke, announcing that the phase in which the development of the city's most important future project also has negative effects will continue. The biggest restriction for the Mühlheimer Straße area is expected in the first half of 2027, when the regular traffic connection of the Mühlheimer Straße junction to the project area will take place.
