The demographic change is also noticeable in the municipality of Wiefelstede.

Statistical data on population development for Wiefelstede and its surrounding area, compiled by the Bertelsmann Foundation, can be accessed at https://www.wegweiser-kommune.de/.

Wiefelstede is a growing, family-oriented rural municipality; however, the proportion of seniors living here is continuously increasing. This demographic development means that sufficient options for "aging in place" must be created in the municipality.

Currently, the municipality has two stationary nursing homes, one in the center of Metjendorf and one in Wiefelstede. In addition, about 28 people live in two residential buildings in dementia living communities, and outpatient care services are also operating locally.

It is to be expected that these capacities and housing options for older and care-dependent people will not be sufficient in the future. Moreover, more older people than before wish to live independently in old age—a change in the understanding of retirement and aging accompanies this trend.

In conclusion, the planned senior living project in the new development area “Grote Placken” in Wiefelstede responds to the increasing need for age-appropriate housing and provides both social and economic added value for future residents and investors. The ultimate goal is to create senior living facilities—with and without care—where people can live their entire lives and where, even in advanced age and in cases of needing care (at least up to care level 5), individuals can be cared for in their own homes. The aim is to create a residential area where intergenerational encounters are possible and can be initiated, both outdoors and indoors. Detailed applications from investors will be evaluated by a municipal review committee to determine how well the planning addresses the needs of seniors.

Wiefelstede is located in the district of Ammerland in Lower Saxony and is characterized by excellent infrastructure, medical care, shopping opportunities, and an active community life. The new development area “Grote Placken” is conveniently located in terms of transportation, is quiet, and is close to nature. Its location is ideal for age-appropriate living while also offering connections to the center and public transport. Shopping, a medical center with a pharmacy, and other facilities are within walking distance.

The city of Oldenburg—with its diverse cultural and theater facilities, a wide range of specialized doctors, and healthcare institutions—is very well accessible by car or public transport. The same applies to the district town of Westerstede and the spa town of Bad Zwischenahn.

The newly developed area “Grote Placken” (a total of approximately 20 hectares) in Wiefelstede offers ideal conditions for a future-oriented residential project for seniors. The goal is to create an accessible, intergenerational living environment that considers both the individual and communal needs of older people.

The construction area for senior living (colored in pink on the zoning plan) is embedded in a mixed-use area for residential housing and quiet commercial enterprises along the main road, as well as in the surrounding building plots for single-family and small multi-family houses or semi-detached houses—some of which are already built and are ideal for young families. The entire development area will be served by a planned road from the main road, with the associated development costs allocated to the building plots.

In the first construction phase for senior living, the larger left-hand plot (13,145 m²) is to be developed with rental apartments or condominiums for sale. The plots offered to investors in this area can be developed promptly. The parceling can be individually adjusted based on the applications and preferences received.

Currently, a second amendment to zoning plan No. 147 “Wiefelstede Grote Placken” is underway. This amendment will increase the maximum number of permissible apartments in the buildings on these plots to 16 and adjust the allowed dimensions for the planned buildings. The planned road within the first construction phase of the senior living project is to be phased out; the residential buildings to be built there will be accessed via the planned road of the already developed area toward the northwest or through the planned road from the main road. The senior living quarter is intended to be designed as “car-free,” meaning that parking spaces will only be available in the peripheral areas of the site.

The smaller right-hand plot (12,470 m²) is intended for a second construction phase. In the future, this area could also see the development of apartments and houses for rental or sale, aimed at seniors and other interested parties.

There is an obligation to use the local district heating network, which is not only environmentally friendly but also offers long-term cost savings and enables planning to the highest energy standards.
