In the field of urban and regional development, LEG Thüringen offers municipal partners a comprehensive range of services. As a recognized redevelopment agency, LEG Thüringen assists Thuringian cities and municipalities in upgrading and redesigning inner-city neighborhoods and eliminating structural deficiencies. In urban development, it focuses primarily on locations that are of central importance for the development of a region. In regional development, the emphasis is on strengthening regional cooperation between mayors and district administrators in the areas of economic development, tourism, or infrastructure.

Regional Management

The spatial development of Thuringia often requires coordinated action across municipal boundaries. As LEG Thüringen , we accompany sub-regions of the Free State as well as inter-municipal cooperations as a regional manager and moderator.

In doing so, we bring independence, assertiveness, and a broad wealth of experience and knowledge in regional management. Our goal is to promote the economic, social, and ecological development of the regions and to effectively coordinate the cooperation of local and regional actors.

Project management

Digital Infrastructure

Digitalization opens up new opportunities for people in the Free State of Thuringia – in everyday life, at work, and in social participation. The prerequisite for this is a high-performance digital infrastructure as a cornerstone of a digital society and a digitalized economy.

With the Information Center for Digital Infrastructure, we determine the status of broadband coverage in a practical and up-to-date manner. This creates a well-founded basis for further state action in the Free State of Thuringia.

We support state actors, Thuringian citizens, and companies with technical expertise in operational processes related to the expansion of digital infrastructures. An important basis for this is the visual preparation and provision of information on the current broadband supply.

Based on various areas of expertise, we also provide strategic support to the Free State of Thuringia in the development of demand-oriented, convergent networks. In doing so, we also consider the construction and expansion of high-performance mobile networks. Because, in addition to wired digital infrastructure, seamless network coverage is becoming increasingly important in everyday life.

Brownfield site cadastre
LEG Thüringen supports the implementation of the national sustainability goal of reducing land consumption nationwide to 30 hectares per day by 2020. The Free State of Thuringia has even set itself the long-term goal of reducing net land consumption or net land sealing to zero. To support this, LEG Thüringen operates a brownfield register that already includes over 1,000 sites from 3,000 m² and is being further expanded.
