Speaker warns: "Please do not overload the Riviera"

The Asian longhorn beetle (ALB) has ensured that many trees and shrubs have been removed from the Riviera.

What was initially perceived as a shock has - according to the assessment expressed several times recently in the city council - developed into a perspective.

Miesbach

- "We have an enviable situation," emphasized Erhard Pohl (CSU).

“We have a development area close to the center.

This is an incredible opportunity.

We must now animate it well and stock it well.

Then it will hopefully be a treat like in my childhood. "

The planner Elisabeth Niggl from the Freiraum office presented the council members with exactly what the candy should look like.

As reported, the area between Bayrischzeller Straße in the east and the area in which the Miesbach is led underground is divided into seven areas: a relaxation area, a meditation area, a corner for senior citizens and cross-generational fitness equipment as well as a playground for small children and bigger children.

A streetball / beach volleyball court and an outdoor classroom are planned to the east.

Positive response in the city council

The results of the four meetings that the working group had carried out to redesign the Riviera, presented by Niggl, were well received by the city council.

There were also further comments.

Markus Seemüller (FWG) suggested seeing the Riviera in connection with the neighboring Waitzinger Park and developing it together.

This means that up to 50 percent funding may be possible through the EU Leader funding program.

You can combine both in two steps.

City councils bring ideas

There was no shortage of further ideas from the city councils.

Verena Assum (CSU) spoke out in favor of more benches and tables in order to get all generations together, and Second Mayor Astrid Güldner (Greens) emphasized the importance of illuminating the main path in the future.

City hopes for donations from citizens

The topic of financing was also raised.

Since the city cannot make big leaps financially, he asked for donations from the city council for playground equipment and new plantings.

Citizens also have the opportunity to submit their wishes and suggestions to the city by the end of the year.

Manfred Burger (Greens) suggested asking Miesbach's new twin town, Marseillan, whether they would also like to make a small donation.

“You could sponsor a small ship for the playground.

That would fit very well. ”As reported, a play and climbing device in the form of a pirate ship has already been ordered for the playground for the older children.

It was ordered in 2019 before the ALB performed.

Speaker Lechner warns: Riviera needs free spots

As much as the eagerness is to redesign the Riviera as good as possible for everyone, Michael Lechner (FWG) warned against overloading the green oasis.

“The Riviera lives from the fact that there are also free spots,” emphasized the system consultant.

Leader, however, is a good idea.

The trees will not only have native trees, "but that will help us when the climate becomes drier and warmer".

In the finance committee a few days later, Seemüller asked how a joint development of Riviera and Waitzinger Park could take place.

"That is not planned," replied Braunmiller.

Urban planner Otto Kurz, with whom the city is already in contact, is keeping an eye on the subject.

The impulses that come from the population will be viewed and processed in the town hall.

Alfred Mittermaier (CSU), however, spoke out against changing a lot in Waitzinger Park: “We should leave our fingers off that.

Design yes, but please no play equipment.

The area should remain free. ”And Lechner expressed“ concerns about public participation ”, especially since one shouldn't lose sight of the costs.

However, Braunmiller defended the participation of the Miesbacher: “We will look at the request concert in January and then see what works and what doesn't.” The planning for the Riviera is to be exhibited in the town hall, also on site in the Riviera - wrapped in weatherproof film.

Miesbachers can bring in donations and ideas

Donations and ideas

can bring citizens to the new Riviera.

The town hall will receive suggestions by e-mail to riviera@miesbach.de until December 31, 2020.

Donors can also use the same address to indicate their intention.

You will then be contacted by the city.
