What Zweckverband Flugfeld Boblingen/sindelfingen does

Zweckverband Flugfeld Böblingen/Sindelfingen is a Körperschaft des Öffentlichen Rechts (public-law corporation) jointly established and funded by the cities of Böblingen and Sindelfingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It plans, develops, and manages the 85-hectare former Landesflughafen Württemberg site, transforming it into one of southern Germany's largest mixed-use urban districts. The entity combines a regulatory/planning role (master framework plan, climate-adapted public realm design, infrastructure coordination) with a commercial role as direct seller of free building plots (Grundstücke) to developers and investors; residential and commercial parcels currently range from 2,733 m² to 55,000 m² across zones including Parkstadt, Seeuferpromenade, and Gewerbegebiet Am Wall.

The organisation operates with a thin internal team (~10 staff) and outsources specialist work in city planning, landscape architecture, traffic planning, web hosting, and design (URBAN PROPAGANDA). Its core 'products' are therefore physical and procedural: saleable land parcels, the Rahmenplan framework, citizen participation processes (BürgerInnen-Dialog), and an interactive web GIS map. The supporting technology stack is utilitarian — a WordPress-based public website, Matomo analytics hosted by levigo systems gmbh, and a Geoventis-hosted GIS viewer — with no proprietary AI, ML, or platform layer.

The business model rests on two pillars: (i) one-time land sales to developers and investors (the only explicitly disclosed revenue stream), and (ii) member-city contributions from Böblingen and Sindelfingen that finance ongoing planning, infrastructure, and operating costs. Financial results are not publicly disclosed. Pricing for parcels is unpublished and handled bilaterally through the Projects/Sales/Contracts department (Andreas Binder). Customer segments are developers/investors purchasing plots, service providers (healthcare via Medicum and the under-construction Flugfeld-Klinikum, education via Kitas, Grundschule Flugfeld, and vocational schools), residents (~3,300), and on-site businesses. Leadership comprises Verbandsvorsitzender and Sindelfingen Oberbürgermeister Markus Kleemann, Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) Klaus Betz, and sales lead Andreas Binder.

Core offering

Zweckverband Flugfeld Böblingen/Sindelfingen plans, develops, and manages an 85-hectare mixed-use urban district on a former airfield site shared between the cities of Böblingen and Sindelfingen. Its commercial core offering is the sale of building plots (Baufelder/Grundstücke) ranging from 2,733 m² to 55,000 m² to developers and investors for residential and commercial construction. The organization also coordinates urban planning, infrastructure development, and community participation across the district.

Product overview

Zweckverband Flugfeld Böblingen/Sindelfingen operates as a public law corporation managing the urban redevelopment of a former airfield into a mixed-use district. The organization functions as both an urban development authority and a community platform, offering land sales and development services (Grundstücke), interactive GIS mapping (Interaktive Karte), citizen participation programs (Bürgerbeteiligung), and community information services (Aktuelles & Events). The core offering is urban development services including the Rahmenplan development framework, climate adaptation projects like the Leonardo-da-Vinci-Platz development, and the sale of residential and commercial land plots across various zones including Parkstadt, Seeuferpromenade, and Gewerbegebiet Am Wall. This is a municipal development authority platform rather than a commercial software product.
