Modern REWE market in the East is handed over to Dipps for management.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new REWE market in Dippoldiswalde, held in mid-July 2025, marked the beginning of construction on the 1600 square meter site. The upcoming market, set to open in spring 2026, will replace the old market that had stood for around 30 years.
As the project progresses, details about the market's sustainable features, energy consumption, and underground parking facilities are emerging. While exact specifics are yet to be confirmed, the new REWE market in Dippoldiswalde is likely to follow the company's commitment to sustainability and customer convenience.
Typically, REWE supermarkets incorporate energy-efficient lighting, refrigeration systems that minimise electricity use, and environmentally friendly building materials. New stores also implement systems to reduce waste and promote recycling. To lower carbon emissions, new REWE markets often emphasise reduced energy consumption through LED lighting, advanced HVAC systems, and possibly solar panels or other renewable energy sources.
In addition, many German supermarkets, including REWE locations, are adopting customer-friendly concepts such as "Silent Hours" to accommodate sensitive shoppers by reducing noise and lighting during certain times. These measures may also factor into the new store's design philosophy.
The new market in Dippoldiswalde is expected to receive the Gold Seal from the German Sustainable Building Council. It will feature a solar panel system on the roof, large glass surfaces, and be made of wood. The underground parking deck will accommodate 60 vehicles, including electric charging stations. Bike racks will also be available for customers.
The old operator, Michael Wolf, is eagerly awaiting the opening of the new market. Upon completion, the new REWE market is expected to consume only half as much energy as other supermarkets, thanks to the waste heat from its refrigerators and equipment being used to heat it in winter. The market will house drinks and food under one roof, making shopping more convenient for customers.
The excavation for the new market has been deepened to allow level access from the B170 into the supermarket. There is a gradient between the federal road and the bus station for easy access to the market. The exact details about the market's size, energy consumption, and sustainability awards will be revealed as the project progresses, with updates likely to come from official REWE communications or local Dippoldiswalde news releases.
The new REWE market in Dippoldiswalde is anticipated to incorporate a sustainable lifestyle, as it is expected to receive the Gold Seal from the German Sustainable Building Council. This home-and-garden project will feature a solar panel system on the roof, large glass surfaces, and be made of wood, promoting sustainable living.
