Alsen, Brownfield site in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Alsen is an industrial brownfield on the outskirts of Itzehoe consisting of abandoned factory buildings and open ground spaces. The site displays typical features of former manufacturing areas with structures of varying sizes and conditions spread across the property.
Alsen was originally an active production center with significant industrial activity. Over time the site was abandoned and now sits as undeveloped land no longer in use.
Local environmental groups monitor the site regularly to document changes in biodiversity and assess potential ecological restoration opportunities.
Visitors should be aware the site is not yet open to the public as cleanup work is ongoing. Before any development can proceed extensive environmental studies and soil testing must first be completed.
The site is located in a region with many similar brownfields stemming from the decline of heavy industry in northern Germany. These locations offer a rare glimpse into industrial heritage and the transformation possibilities of contemporary urban landscapes.
