It's done!
The “Rigi-Rutsch'n 2.0 health and bathing park” project in Peißenberg has been included in the federal program “Renovation of municipal facilities in the areas of sport, youth and culture” - and with a higher level of funding than expected.
Those responsible are very happy.
Peißenberg - The good news from Berlin came yesterday afternoon shortly before 3 p.m. in a press release: The budget committee of the German Bundestag has, as it says in the announcement, the "renovation of the indoor swimming pool Rigi-Rutsch'n Peißenberg" a funding commitment in the amount of 1 .9 million euros granted.
That is more than 45 percent of the eligible costs registered by the market or the municipal utilities amounting to four million euros.
In the Peißenberg town hall, a maximum of 1.8 million euros was expected.
Mayor Frank Zellner (CSU) traveled to Berlin especially to be personally present during the award procedure - of course including an effective photo session with CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt.
"It went really well," reported Zellner to the local newspaper on the train return to Peißenberg.
"The application documents were so good that we were no longer put through their paces." The 1.9 million euros now provide the necessary room for maneuver in the renovation of the pool park - also for a new, larger slide: "That has top priority for me Priority.
I'm really happy! ", Says Zellner:" With the very high funding commitment from the federal government, we have succeeded in realizing the modernization of the 'Rigi-Rutsch'n'.
I want us to be able to create an attractive family pool and celebrate a great jubilee, 40 years Rigi-Rutsch'n 'next year. " Berlin lobbying work.
The member of the Bundestag - Peißenberger himself - also reacted enthusiastically to the funding commitment: "This is a great day for Peißenberg and all friends of the 'Rigi-Rutsch'n'", Dobrindt is quoted in the press release: "With the funding approval we ensure that the 'Rigi-Rutsch'n 2.0' will offer visitors even more bathing fun in future.
I'm already looking forward to the maiden voyage and the inauguration of the new Frank-Zellner-Rutsch'n! ”It remains to be seen whether Dobrindt's request for naming in Peißenberg will go through without objection.
In addition to the slide, there are other major investments to be made in the swimming pool park.
In addition to the renovation of the four outdoor pools, the repair of the bathroom technology and the expansion of the sanitary facilities in the outdoor area, the plan is to enclose the non-swimmers' pool and the warm water pool that is currently still in use.
This should enable the pools to be used all year round.
The renovation project is being planned under the direction of the municipal utilities that operate the bath park.
The municipal company has already drawn up the content of the application documents for the federal funding program.
And financially, the factories take over the lion's share.
The bottom line is that the KU will raise over 2.3 million euros, while the market will contribute 460,000 euros.
KU boss Ingrid Haberl was delighted with the amount of the funding commitment: “That is wonderful.
With the sum we are making very significant progress with the Bäderpark. ”But why wasn't the plant manager actually there in Berlin?
The neighboring municipality of Peiting drove away from the ice rink funding with three representatives in the federal capital.
But Haberl only found out about Zellner's Berlin trip by chance the day before his departure: “I was neither informed nor invited,” said Haberl when asked by the local newspaper.
