The planned hardware store settlement in the south of Peitingen continues to cause a stir. After clear criticism of the market community going it alone in the Schongau city council, Peiting's mayor Peter Ostenrieder is now resisting the allegations. He sees his parish wrongly in the pillory.

Peiting - The property on Zeißlerweg in Peiting is around three hectares and is soon to be the location of a new V-DIY and garden center. Of course, there is still no building permit for the large-scale project, the spatial planning process of the government of Upper Bavaria is currently underway, which has to decide on the admissibility. It is part of the procedure that surrounding municipalities can issue a statement. The city of Schongau has recently made use of this possibility - and what city architect Sebastian Dietrich presented to the city council hardly left the project unsatisfactory.

In the Peitingen town hall, the new mayor, Peter Ostenrieder, sniffed at the massive criticism from the neighboring city. "I have complete understanding if you comment negatively as a city, but here you missed the mark." For the town hall boss, this begins with the accusation that a project of this size should have been agreed between the two municipalities, like Schongaus Mayor Falk Sluyterman had complained at the city council meeting. He was very surprised that his counterpart was so surprised by the discussion about the hardware store. After all, the investor asked the city for a plot of land at the same time as the market town. In Schongau, however, there was a lack of the corresponding area. Sluyterman was involved from the start. "He also knew the scale it was about."

The Peitingen Mayor Peter Ostenrieder fights criticism from Schongau.

Eastrieder is therefore annoyed by the statement by the Schongau city master builder that the project in Peiting is oversized with a sales area of ​​almost 7,800 square meters. With this assessment, Dietrich shoots "far beyond his competencies", because it is the government's sole responsibility. It is also not the municipality's job to control the market, says the mayor, referring to the feared skimming off of purchasing power from Lechstadt. "Protectionism through administrative decisions has never really paid off." In the end, customer behavior is the deciding factor.

Ostenrieder confirms that his community did not raise the project in the context of inter-municipal cooperation with Schongau and Altenstadt. But that was not necessary in his eyes either. The property is already in the final paper of the Inter-Municipal Development Concept (IKEK) as a commercial area for Peiting. The municipality can also freely decide which trade it wants to settle there, emphasizes the town hall boss. "This basic discussion is conducted by the Peitingen municipal council and not the Schongau city council." The need for a range of building and DIY products is also demonstrated in the integrated urban development concept of the market.

However, the mayor goes too far to describe the IKEK as a “toothless tiger”, as the Schongau city councilor Bettina Buresch out of anger at the lack of coordination in her opinion. There are many topics in which you already support yourself well. "But it is a utopia to believe that all three communities act like one place."
