Weilheim's fire brigade joins the debate about the planned multi-storey car park on Krumpperstrasse: Commander Konrad Bischel calls for a quick implementation of the construction project, in which urgently needed vehicle hangars for the defense are integrated.
Because the lack of space is acute - and alternatives are not in sight.
Weilheim
- After the criticism of the Agenda working group “Urban Development” on the dimensions of the planned parking garage, he had to explain “from the fire brigade's point of view” why “the fastest possible implementation” of the construction project was necessary, writes Bischel in his statement - and picked one up "Extension of the fire department equipment house".
According to the current plan, this will take place in that the ground floor of the parking garage houses 14 vehicle halls for the fire brigade and the Red Cross.
As you know, the public utility company wants to create two levels with a total of 100 parking spaces for long-term parkers.
According to Bischel, initial considerations for eliminating the lack of space at the Weilheimer Wehr were made as early as 2000 - "while the former mayor Rawe was still in office": "There have now been three interim solutions at various locations.
Most of the equipment required for operations and disaster control is currently housed in the Trifthof.
The hall is four kilometers away from the tool shed, which leads to a considerable delay in the event of an emergency. "

In 2014, according to the commanding officer, there were initial ideas for a parking garage on the municipal utilities site, which "after much deliberation and tough struggle" led to the current solution.
This is an acceptable compromise for the fire brigade and municipal utilities, writes Bischel: “A building design first has to fulfill the required functions and must be economically feasible.
If, in the end, it is generally rated as visually successful - all the better. "
The fire brigade commander admits that the entire building appears "relatively bulky" due to the use it requires.
However, many buildings on the B 2 would "exceed the planned height of the parking garage significantly in the eaves or ridge height";
Bischel names for example the medical center, town hall, water management office and the Biomichl building.
A parallel use of the basement and upper floors above the fire department garages is ruled out, since the parking garage has to move over seven meters to the east for a second ramp to the basement - which is not possible because of the necessary exit areas for the emergency vehicles and the prescribed exercise areas.
"Alternatively, at least three parking spaces would probably be completely lost," said Bischel.
Commander Bischel: "Less than 400 meters from the Mariensäule, however, they want to reduce the development to the size of a small hamlet."
As far as urban planning aspects are concerned, the commander reminds us of the “traditional urban development of our old town”, which is repeatedly praised as a “jewel”: “But less than 400 meters from the Marian column, we want to reduce the development to the size of a small hamlet.” The visualization of the planned multi-storey car park on the part of the Agenda-AK also shows “a perspective from which the building cannot be seen by any passer-by”.
Incidentally, according to Bischel, "a taller building also contributes better to soundproofing compared to western neighbors during exercise and work services after deployments during normal rest periods".
Finally, Bischel warns of the consequences if “the economic viability for the municipal utilities no longer exists due to the reduced number of parking spaces”: A lower extension for the fire brigade and BRK could “probably not be financed by the city for years, given the budgetary situation, since it is necessary to purchase land the municipal utilities and construction costs would have to be spent roughly over five million euros ”.
