Waakirchen and Tegernsee made their decisions on how to proceed with the construction of the indoor swimming pool on Tuesday. Bad Wiessee decided behind closed doors for a purely functional indoor sports pool.
Costs between 20 and 30 million euros for a municipal swimming pool would be 45 to 70 million for a leisure pool. A pure sauna area alone would cost 20 to 30 million euro. “We should plan for the possibility of expansion,” advised Thomas Mandl, who was fundamentally pleased with the “overcoming of parochial politics” and “starting to think across the valley.” “To have the right to saunas paid for with public money doesn’t work. We have major investments ahead of us in the next few years,’ said Johannes Hagn, the mayor of the city of Tegern see. ‘We would only delay the project if we were to look for a private investor now.’ “If a private group were to come together here to create asauna area, then we would welcome that,“ said Deputy Mayor Michael Bourjau.
