Construction firm denies allegations made by Wiesbaden city officials
In the heart of Wiesbaden, the construction project on Ellenbogengasse street, initially slated to begin on April 15, 2025, has been met with unexpected delays and complications. The city of Wiesbaden and construction company HAN Bau GmbH found themselves at an impasse, leading to the termination of the contract on May 20, 2025.
The delays in the project resulted in an extension of approximately two months, though it remains unclear if this extension is still ongoing. HAN Bau GmbH, responsible for deep construction and roadwork, expressed concerns about commencing work without a known construction plan, fearing potential need for rework.
As a consequence, the company took measures to compensate for the delays, working on Saturdays and hiring third-party contractors. However, the lack of a construction plan forced HAN Bau GmbH to pause its work for up to 14 days per construction section while a third company, assigned to lay and renew supply lines, completed their tasks. Structural installations in the ground and cables had to be removed or rerouted.
In a turn of events, the city of Wiesbaden terminated the contract via email on May 20, 2025. HAN Bau GmbH, however, rejected this termination as ineffective and instead chose to terminate the contract on the same day.
Despite repeated requests for explanations, the city of Wiesbaden did not provide any until April 16, 2025. The city is now attempting to resume the construction work "quickly and without further complications" and to re-tender it, but the current schedule for these works remains unclear.
For the latest and authoritative information about the construction project or its schedule following the contract termination, it is recommended to check directly with the City of Wiesbaden's official website or contact their public works or construction department.
Other industry players may be eying the potential opportunity following the termination of the contract between the city of Wiesbaden and HAN Bau GmbH in the finance sector, as there could be significant investment required for the resumption and completion of the ambitious construction project.
The unexpected delays and complications in the project, initially slated for April 15, 2025, have highlighted the importance of effective communication and collaboration between all parties involved in a business undertaking, including the city, construction company, and third-party contractors.
