About the DeunerViertel
Around 90 hectares of land on the branch canal in Misburg: these are the former premises of the Deurag-Nerag oil refinery in Hanover, which at its peak processed well over two million tons of crude oil per year. The site has been largely unused since the plant was shut down in the 1980s. And now it is back in the spotlight: the state capital of Hanover and the Deurag-Nerag company – represented by ExxonMobil – want to work together to clarify whether the site can be redeveloped in order to exploit its potential for urban development and private and commercial construction.
Under the motto "Report D"
The first step is to ensure complete transparency. This is because the site contains both contaminated soil and unexploded bombs as a result of its former production activities and repeated bombing during the Second World War. The aim of the first phase of the development project is therefore to carefully assess and analyze the conditions on site. The results will be incorporated into a concrete remediation plan that includes measures for clearing unexploded ordnance, removing old deposits, and restoring usability.
