The Murnau weekly market returns to the pedestrian zone next week.

Not all market councils are enthusiastic about this.

The free voters would like to leave the market at the Forsteranger car park.

  • The Murnau weekly market has been taking place at the Forsteranger car park since May.

  • Next week he will return to the pedestrian zone.

  • Not all representatives of the people agree.

Murnau

- Since May 20th, the Murnau weekly market has no longer been held in the pedestrian zone, but on the Forsteranger car park.

The market town gave restaurateurs in the pedestrian zone a larger area for their outdoor seating so that the minimum distance can be maintained.

Back to the living room

Now the market should return to the parlor from next week (we reported).

So the administration decided.

Vice Mayor Dr.

Julia Stewens (Free Voters) thinks it's a shame, as she said at the latest local council meeting.

“Everyone I have spoken to” is enthusiastic about the Forsteranger car park.

“It's pleasantly quiet there.” It is also easier to get to and from there.

Gastro seating no longer as extensive

The community is sticking to the planned return.

"Since the seating in the restaurants is not as extensive in winter as in summer, the weekly market can take place in the pedestrian zone again," says town hall spokeswoman Annika Röttinger.

"There, of course, as before on the Forsteranger car park, the applicable distance regulations are observed" so that the weekly market can take place as a basic supply.

Supporters and opponents

Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP / Bürgerforum) thinks that supporters and opponents of a return to the pedestrian zone are in balance.

There are some who would find the new space better and more compact.

You could "also drive in by car".

However, a great many wanted the old square “because it brings frequency and flair to the pedestrian zone”.

But you could like to vote again in principle.

Felix Burger (SPD) advised to interview business people.

These "should be able to live with it".

Maria Schägger, parliamentary group spokeswoman for Free Voters, announced that she would submit an application on the subject.

Free voters to stay at Forsteranger

According to the Welf Probst local council, the free people are in favor of staying at the Forsteranger.

“That has become established, we have a lot more space there.” Starting and stopping is much easier.

He sees a disadvantage in the pedestrian zone in the fact that the escape routes are severely restricted due to the large vehicles of the stand operators.

There, shop windows would also be placed on the east side.

The shop owners “don't think that's so great”.

The only disadvantage of the Forsteranger car park, in Probst's opinion, is that fewer parking spaces are available on Wednesday.

Gattner for return of the market

Guntram Gattner, chairman of the economic development association, on the other hand, advocates a return to the pedestrian zone "in order to increase the frequency".

This has decreased since the move.

“It is important that the market is revitalized, especially in these times.” Regarding the Forsteranger, the bookseller says: “People drive there, shop and then disappear.” The narrow Lebzeltergassl keeps people from to go to the pedestrian zone.
