The redesign of the Heilbrunn town center is progressing: In its most recent meeting, the local council decided to demolish the former Strauss sanatorium on Abt-Walther-Weg.
Bad Heilbrunn - The municipality bought the area in 2019 for four million euros.
However, some councilors are concerned about the high costs of the demolition, which the manager Andreas Mascher estimates at 600,000 euros.
The walls are moldy, the rooms completely devastated
The former sanatorium has been empty for a long time and is in ruins.
The walls are moldy, the rooms were completely devastated, and there were several break-ins.
For the demolition, the community receives a 60 percent subsidy from the village renewal program of the Office for Rural Development.
"I don't know how the state grants will develop in the next months and years," said Mayor Thomas Gründl (CSU).
Norbert Deppisch (Greens) give the sums of money involved a stomach ache: “Even if we get a 60 percent subsidy, around 250,000 euros remain with the community.
Does our budget provide such amounts?
We are financially not so well bedded. ”At the moment it is still possible, replied Mayor Thomas Gründl.
"But it will be exciting to see how things will continue." There are some good craft businesses in the community, which is why trade tax revenues have not yet collapsed as much as feared.
Demolition if possible during the summer holidays
It is unclear how the share of income tax will develop: "I can only say a thousand percent when the projections for the next few years are available."
Konrad Specker (FW) suggested that the termination time should be set so that the neighboring kindergarten is affected as little as possible: “At the Leonardis Clinic, one saw that termination is quite a burden for the residents.” Specker pleaded for starting in the summer vacation.
He does not know whether this is possible, replied Gründl: "We would have to clarify with a planning office whether it can be done in four to six weeks."
In the end, the local councils voted unanimously for the demolition and for the administration to prepare the grant application.
In addition, the community will obtain offers from three planning offices and also commission a pollutant report.
