The old Bielefeld youth hostel was a picturesque, timber-framed house out in the Teutoburg Forest and close to the Hermannsweg hiking trail. With no public transport available, it was still well-suited for the traditional hiking target group, but not for city tourism, which has become increasingly more popular over the recent decades. So when the downtown area of the former "Dürkopp Tor 6" plant was reconstructed to become an urban quarter for housing, art, culture and professional education as an associated project of the Expo world exhibition in Hannover in year 2000 (visit link), a new youth hostel of high international standard was among the top items of the priority list.

The new Jugendgästehaus has a total of 160 beds in 58 rooms. There are 22 rooms with two beds, 28 rooms with three beds, and 8 rooms with four beds. All rooms are individually designed and furnished and have their own shower and toilet. There are three leisure rooms with TV, billard table etc., and with six professionally equipped conference rooms from 30 to 130 m2 the house is well-suited for conventions with up to 150 participants.
However, prices reflect the high standard and range from about 30 to 50 €, depending on type of room and age.

Die alte Bielefelder Jugendherberge war ein idyllisches Fachwerkhaus mitten im Teutoburger Wald in der Nähe des Hermannswegs. Sie war ganz auf die Bedürfnisse der traditionellen Wandererklientel zugeschnitten, entsprach aber hinsichtlich Ausstattung und Verkehrsanbindung nicht den Anforderungen des modernen Städtetourismus, wie er in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen hat. Als das innerstädtische ehemalige "Dürkopp Tor 6" Fabrikgelände als Begleitprojekt der Expo 2000 in Hannover zu einem urbanen Modellquartier für Wohnen, Kunst, Kultur und berufliche Ausbildung umgestaltet wurde (guckst du hier), stand daher eine neue Jugendherberge von hohem internationalem Niveau ganz oben auf der Prioritätenliste.

Das neue Jugendgästehaus verfügt über 160 Betten in 58 Zimmern, davon 22 Zwei-Bett-, 28 Drei-Bett und 8 Vier-Bett-Zimmer. Alle Zimmer sind individuell gestaltet und möbliert und verfügen über eigene Dusche und WC. Es gibt drei Aufenthaltsräume mit Fernseher, Billard etc., und mit sechs professionell ausgestatteten Tagungsräumen von 30 to 130 m2 ist das Haus bestens für Tagungen und Konferenzen mit bis zu 150 Teilnehmern geeignet.
Die Preise entsprechen der gehobenen Ausstattung und liegen zwischen ca. 30 und 50 €, je nach Zimmer und Alter.
