This is how the Hansa Center in Bottrop should be unique

The new owner of the Hansa Center downtown has presented other plans that will give the center unique selling points and attractions in the area after its revitalization. In addition to the well-known main tenants (hotel, cinema, “cult” fashion label, gastronomy), Fakt AG wants to assemble offers and services for electronic mobility in the Hansa Center. In addition, new digital entertainment offerings will be created, keyword: virtual reality (VR).

In a panel discussion at the second open day at Berliner Platz, Marcus Masuth, Project Director and Fakt Immobilien Board Member, kept a low profile when it came to the opening date, but took on the announcement of CEO Hubert Schulte-Kemper from the previous evening: Let’s go! Fact has reviewed the plans again and will quickly submit the revised build order. It must be processed just as quickly, as Lord Bernd Tishler, the mayor, promised: “I will make sure you are on top of the heap.” The approval will be “within weeks”.

The hotel and cinema are scheduled to open in fall 2022

The 108-room Hilton family hotel will open its doors in the fall of 2022.
