Lord Mayor Frank Klingebiel gave the go-ahead for this on February 7, 2011 at the same location. As a result of this process, key projects were developed that have a demonstrable impact on demographics, education levels and employment.

In his opening speech, the Lord Mayor emphasized "that projects and flagship projects were discussed and developed in 14 working groups in a broad democratic dialogue with experts, the population and the city administration." Klingebiel: "In addition to the overarching effect, the benefits for a strengthened children and family policy in the city of Salzgitter were the decisive test criterion."
