The employees of the Reichersbeurer municipal administration have been looking forward to this day for a long time: the move of the town hall to the former building of the Raiffeisenbank started on Tuesday morning.
The Reichersbeurer administration is currently moving
There is also a stylish citizen service area in the new town hall
But there is still a lot to do in many rooms
Reichersbeuern
- The phrase “It's teeming like an anthill” is often used, but it was seldom as accurate as it was yesterday in Reichersbeuern.
Moving company employees bustle through the renovated building.
In the future community treasury, the boxes are piled up to the ceiling.
In the citizen service area, dozens of yellow letter boxes are stacked on top of each other.
The contrast program in the room next door: Here it looks like a flower shop.
It is green and blooming, orchids stand next to cacti and other potted plants - the registry office serves as an interim storage facility for the town hall plants.
The building authority manager Vera Steinmetz and Irmi Markl from the property management have everything in view.
A few weeks ago, the two of them showed the 21 community employees how to correctly label their moving boxes.
Now they make sure that each of the almost 1000 boxes ends up in the right office.
“We're a little nervous,” admits Markl.
“Everything has to work.” She has been on her feet since 5:30 am.
Overall, however, she found the construction phase "more exciting".
For example, archivists, managers and finance employees had to sift through the old files.
Together with the other employees, they sorted out old paper by containers.
Mayor Ernst Dieckmann has to smile when he thinks of the sometimes strange finds: "For example a list of kindergarten children from 1984 - there are lots of people on it that we know as adults today."
The new town hall is impressive.
A real eye-catcher at the entrance is the citizen service area with a counter made of oak and perfectly coordinated dark brown wooden elements.
It would also fit wonderfully in a wellness temple or a higher-class hotel.
At this sight, moving entrepreneur Robert Schmidt-Starrock also goes into raptures: "A super beautiful town hall." One of his ten employees hears it in passing and confirms: "It couldn't be nicer."

As big as the mess on the first floor is, it still looks empty in Dieckmann's office.
Only two extraordinary items made their way from the old to the new town hall in advance: On the one hand, the original torch from the Olympic Games, which was carried through the village in 1972.
On the other hand, a round clock with a golden face and a world map in the middle.
“A relic from the time of Hans Harrer,” says Dieckmann.
The historic piece is reminiscent of the German championship title that the Reichersbeurer youth ice hockey team won in Augsburg in 1964.
Former Mayor Harrer was the coach of the championship team.
One of his players was the future mayor Josef Reiter.
The meeting room is just as empty as it is in Dieckmann's office.
Among other things, what is still missing is the so-called “Active Board”, an interactive whiteboard with a touchscreen that is connected to a computer.
“In our school there is such a board in all classrooms,” says Dieckmann.
“I liked it so much that I said: I want it in the conference room too.” There is still a lot to do: “In 80 percent of the rooms there are still little things missing,” says Dieckmann.
The skirting boards still need to be attached.
The painter has to paint around the doors, the electrician put the lamps on.
The elevator isn't ready either.
All in all, however, everything is on schedule, says “Dieckmann:“ It wasn't lavishly measured, but the craftsmen did a great job. ”The next 14 days should be used to be fully able to work again.
"We are happy when the employees can move into their offices," says Markl.
Days off are probably not included, "but we'll treat ourselves to a coffee after we move in".
Even if the anticipation is great: A little melancholy resonates, says Markl: “The old town hall was our home.
We have fond memories of it. "
Now it's time for the employees to reorient themselves - but also for the people of Reichersbeur: “In the next few weeks, many people will want to withdraw money from us and hand it over to Raiffeisenbank Packerl,” believes Ernst Dieckmann.
Vera Steinmetz also suspects: "I'll be standing in front of the wrong front door one time or another."
