The city of Wolfsburg, in turn, provides the clubs with a modern and diverse sports infrastructure. The task of sports development planning is to check whether the infrastructure is sufficient in terms of quantity and quality and to draw up proposals for needs-based development. The report on sports development planning in Wolfsburg from 2012 forms the basis for this.

In addition to the infrastructure for organized sport, it is also important to establish low-threshold, open sports and exercise facilities in public spaces. They play an important role in promoting the health of Wolfsburg's population and are an integral part of municipal services of general interest. That is why one of the tasks of sports development planning in cooperation with other business areas is to create sustainable, ecological and versatile sports spaces as part of urban development. This is currently being done, for example, by participating in the planning of the Sonnenkamp development area via the campus and the Panoramaweg.

Another focus of sports development planning is supporting sports clubs in adapting to social change processes. The aim is to jointly find answers to questions about sustainable club structures, innovative sports offerings, the involvement of volunteers and the role of sports clubs in the community. In cooperation with the StadtSportBund Wolfsburg, the SportRegion OstNiedersachsen and the clubs, seminars are held on the topic of "club development".

Survey of Wolfsburg sports clubs 2024

From August 20 to September 10, 2024, all registered sports clubs in Wolfsburg were surveyed with the aim of gaining a better insight into Wolfsburg's sports and club landscape. The survey and future club surveys based on it should help to make the right decisions for sport in general, but also in particular for the sports infrastructure, cooperation between clubs and administration, etc.

In the end, 52 of the 107 registered sports clubs took part in the survey. The success rate of 48.6 means that the results are sufficiently valid. The administration would therefore like to thank all the clubs that took part in the survey.

The survey is to be repeated every two years in order to be able to identify developments and changes in orientation in the long term.

The results, which will be made available for download later on, as well as a related presentation including initial interpretations, are now available to the clubs for the evaluation of their own position and actions. In addition, an explanation of the evaluation (explanation of the statistical measures) has also been made available as a download for better understanding.

If you have any questions about the club survey itself, requests for classification for your own club or requests for sports development advice from the sports administration, the sports development department will be happy to provide you with information.

The next survey of Wolfsburg's sports clubs is planned for summer/autumn 2026
