The FTG tennis halls on Schmiedstrasse will be demolished this year. The Kreuzlinger Forst tennis club, which holds its winter training there, wants to build its own hall on the club grounds as a replacement. A city grant was announced. The corona crisis has now mixed everything up.
Germering - start and finish uncertain - TC Kreuzlinger Forst is currently in limbo in every respect. The sporting business is initially suspended until Pentecost holidays. And the decision to build its own hall has to be postponed because of the Corona crisis. This is no longer possible for too long. Because it was planned that construction should start this year.
The FTG hall will soon be closed
"There should be a general meeting by mid-June at the latest," says TC chair Dominik Hirsch in a thoughtful voice. From a purely formal point of view, a minimum number of members present would not be necessary to make a decision on the hall construction, which will cost around half a million euros, but one wants to take the interests of the members into account, said Hirsch, who is expecting a heavily attended meeting. However, the premises are currently missing.
Dominik Hirsch, chairman of the TC Kreuzlinger Forst, wants to play tennis again soon.
The tennis club, which has around 380 members, is happy that the city has been positive about the project in previous discussions. "There you can see that training and youth work must continue, even in winter," says Hirsch. The FTG hall on Schmiedstrasse will no longer be available for too long. It is expected to be locked on May 31, then demolished.
The members are already scratching their hooves
There could be a kind of grace period if the archaeological investigations usual for such projects produce results. "Then maybe a year could be added," explains hall operator Leo Kreemers when asked by our newspaper. Up to the meeting restrictions, Kreemers recorded "a very good hall occupancy". He speaks of around 400 regular visitors who came from the field of football and tennis. It is not in the interest that the hall be demolished, says the owner. He would have liked more engagement from the city.

At TC Kreuzlinger Forst, you want to show that again in your own cause. Dominik Hirsch sees the economic side as rather unproblematic. "But the members are already scratching their hooves," he reports. Not so much because of the nice weather where you usually want to swing your tennis racket. Rather because of the various actions that were planned for April and May. So an open day was planned, and the Germeringen schools wanted to advertise the club.
TC Kreuzlinger Forst is the only tennis club in Germering
The full-time trainers are now condemned to inaction. Hirsch hardly thinks about starting the game. “It's up to the association. You will see when and how he decides. ”For the time being, the tennis courts in the country are quiet until Pentecost.

The TC Kreuzlinger Forst is now the only tennis club in the large district town. The TC Unitas, located on Schmiedstraße near the FTG halls, dissolved two years ago - not only because the leasehold agreement for its club premises, which is not far from the currently existing hall, expired on August 31, 2018. The number of members had dropped. "A tennis club in Germering is now enough," said Unitas chairman Werner Cröniger. The TC Kreuzlinger Forst organized the tournaments.
