The legacy of a success story

This citizens' initiative has really done a great job for Erding - in two ways.

Erding - The citizens' initiative rail tunnel Erding has long since dissolved.

Not for lack of success, but on the contrary: the members had worked side by side with Lord Mayor Max Gotz, the town hall and the city council for a compatible S-Bahn ring closure route.

This has been achieved with the Nordeinschleifung, a tunnel from the city park to the air base and a new train station on the military site.

But it's not that easy to liquidate a club.

Last but not least, this was opposed by the stately club assets.

The ex-BI chairman Winfried Busch has transferred a small part of it to the city and receives a token of remembrance in the new train station.

BI transfers the lion's share of 8,600 euros to the hospice association for its commitment to children.

When the check was handed over in the mayor's room, chairman Johannes Schollen and coordinator Jutta Mayer reported that they were working with the outpatient hospice center in Munich.

“We primarily take care of children whose parents are seriously ill.

Because our experience shows that children usually come off badly when their parents are overwhelmed. "For them this is often a trauma, according to Schollen.

But girls and boys who are seriously ill themselves are also supported by the volunteers, Mayer reported.

Gotz once again praised the use of BI for the tunnel.

“This shows that you can achieve something together if you pull together.” Busch recalled busy times, which, however, were fulfilling in view of the success.

He particularly fondly remembers the cross-party demo in late summer 2015 at the Erdinger S-Bahn station.
