Murnau major projects should be put to the test - Greens against thinking bans

With this application, some municipal councilors and town hall employees should swallow hard: Murnau's Greens parliamentary group wants to put large projects such as the planned fire brigade equipment house to the test, and approach them in a new way and in context with one another.

Without thinking bans.

• A motion by the Murnau Green Group could spark discussions.

• The group wants large projects in Murnau to be viewed in context with one another - that could result in synergies.

• Among other things, the initiative aims to ensure that the municipal utilities at least partially leave the cattle marketplace and the fire brigade remains there.

Murnau

- You take several ingredients, put them in a mixer - and off you go?

No, the Greens are not making it that easy for themselves with their political recipe.

But at least they whirl up several of the great Murnau future projects in one venture, break up old things - which in the town hall administration could cause paralyzing horror rather than enthusiasm.

Because one thing is clear: this would make previous plans obsolete.

The greens serve thick chunks.

Murnau Greens: Issues should “not be viewed in isolation from one another”

Behind this, however, is a thought that is by no means aimed at chaos, but rather is based on an essential view of the natural and climate researcher and cosmopolitan Alexander von Humboldt (1769 to 1859): Everything is related to everything.

And it's about a kind of change of perspective.

“We want to ensure that the issues are seen in context and not viewed in isolation from one another,” explains Hans Kohl, parliamentary group spokesman for Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen in the municipal council.

“That results in synergies, also in terms of costs.” He assumes a savings effect if one “thinks together” projects and counts them off.

To put it figuratively: she puts her on a table and takes a look at it from above, from a new perspective.

The central point of the Green initiative: municipal utilities should make room for fire brigades

The idea of ​​the Greens application in rough outline: The municipal utilities are to move in whole or in part from the cattle marketplace to an area that has become free at the current substation and make room at the old location for the increased space requirements of the neighboring volunteer fire brigade.

Their future tool shed is currently planned on the old fairground, but the plans still harbor some imponderables and problems.

This area would then be available for “other use”, says the Greens application.

An elevated development is "conceivable".

In this way, two birds could be killed with one stone: affordable living space could be created and most of the parking areas would be retained.

"This would save the costs for an underground car park." The extent to which a floor renovation is necessary with this solution must be examined.

In the municipal council resolution of December 16, 2020, the Greens started looking for no more locations to relocate the substation, but were looking into the possibility of housing the facility on Dr.-Schalk-Straße.

The main question is, according to the application, "how much free space is being offered by Bayernwerk AG to the Murnau market and at what price".

Fire brigade commander against staying at the old location

Kohl definitely reckons with 4,000 square meters.

The Greens imagine that the local council draws up a specification - for the administration or an external representative - in which it is recorded in detail what the body wants.

This is intended to serve as the basis for a feasibility study, which examines a (partial) relocation of the municipal utilities to a possible vacated area at the substation.

Regardless of the question of whether the Bayernwerk plant will remain or will still be relocated.

Kohl does not know how the town hall and the local council will react to the initiative, but makes it clear that there should be “no thinking bans”.

And with a view to possible preparatory work in the administration, for example for the new fire department equipment house, he asks whether “so much has already been done here”.

Florian Krammer does not perform any joyful dances in view of the proposal.

The military commander is one of the big supporters of a move to the former fairground.

He refers to an expert opinion according to which "it is impossible that a sustainable fire station can be built at the old location".

There is a lack of space and development opportunities.

"We can say goodbye to this location."

What Murnau's First Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP / Bürgerforum) thinks of the Greens application remains open.

No comment was available from him on Monday or Tuesday.
