Experience the Winter World Sylt 2025: A new ice rink in front of the town hall with attractions for locals and tourists.
Ice skating dream on Sylt: Winter world 2025 planned in front of the town hall!
In the heart of Sylt, the municipality is planning to create a winter adventure world that will offer attractive offers for locals and guests alike. The artificial ice surface, which is designed with a total area of 300 square meters and an illuminated ice skating path through the town hall park, is scheduled to operate from November 28, 2025 to January 2, 2026. This would make it the first ice rink on Sylt since 2007. The initiator of the project, the Sylter Unternehmer e.V. association, works in cooperation with SYLT Media & Events GmbH to create the gastronomic and festive elements of the winter atmosphere. This information was provided by Moin.de provided.
A crucial step in the implementation of the project is imminent: the local council is scheduled to vote on the application on May 22nd. However, the budget, the approval situation and the financing model must be examined in detail beforehand. The costs for the implementation amount to around 100,000 euros, which will be financed from tax revenue. Although most members of the committee are positive about the project, there are critical voices. Representatives such as Ulrike Körbs (Islander) and Peter Marnitz (SPD) express concerns that the financial resources are not sufficient given the scarce social resources.
Financing strategy and concerns
The organizers expect a municipal grant of 100,000 euros net. In addition, the entrepreneur Ole König plans to raise 80,000 euros from private funds. The Greens have called for comprehensive transparency and highlighted the need for a cost cap. Despite these concerns, operators and supporters see the project as an opportunity to improve the city center and provide social added value for the island's capital. The concept is based on the successful ice rink in Scharbeutz and also includes an additional 80 meter long ice rink in the adjacent park, which will be used by schools, especially in the mornings, as by Sylt mirror reported.
The event also aims to increase the quality of life on Sylt and create a new meeting place for people to enjoy the winter months together. In the last few weeks there have been several discussions in the main committee of the Sylt municipality, which unanimously voted in favor of the concept. Further consultations are planned in the local council, while organizers remain optimistic that they will overcome all the necessary hurdles, such as noise protection and environmental regulations. The final decision on the realization of the winter world in 2025 will be made in the coming weeks and could ultimately prove to be a profitable investment in a social meeting place on the island.
