The dilapidated Hudler house in Moosburg has won a prominent advocate: Johannes Becher wants to renovate it and make it usable again.
Moosburg
- Anyone who is often out and about in Moosburg knows the building at number 2 on Leinbergerstrasse: the so-called "Hudler House" with its prominent gable facade.
Now the dilapidated but listed building has won a prominent local advocate.
The member of the Green State Parliament and Moosburg City Councilor Johannes Becher wants to buy it and renovate it.
The cost of the ambitious project: an estimated 1.5 million euros.
The project is not financially viable
The tour of the Hudler house at the on-site appointment on Friday showed: someone has big plans here - and action must be taken quickly.
The damage to the building is not insignificant: numerous roof beams are no longer resting on the walls, the floors are dilapidated and the masonry is relatively damp - or, as Becher aptly put it, "soaking wet".
In no way would this project be financially profitable, said Becher, but that is not what he is interested in.
"It pays off from the heart," emphasized the future client.
Because the house, 500 years old, is “something special” that definitely needs to be preserved.
Coworking space and cabaret
Currently, the walls have to be supported by cross braces, entry is only possible at your own risk.
It creaked and creaked noticeably during the tour, but Becher is clearly passionate about this project.
In the basement, he imagines, the small rooms could be used as coworking space, for example, while he would like to move into the upper floor himself.
He also has something special in mind for the garden: Becher would like to install a small stage there for readings and cabaret so that the Hudler-Haus becomes part of the public again.

In any case, the owner Rosa Hudler-Oswald is very happy that something is finally going on.
Because the future of the building, which has been in her family's possession since 1984, has been a "never-ending story" for decades.
After various refused renovation applications, she did not find out until 1995 that her property was a monument, for which there were some buying interests, but all of them failed - until Becher accidentally became aware of the property and, through courageous action, he did probably the oldest gabled house in Bavaria.
Also because he finds the charm of the old building much more attractive than an ordinary new building - even though Becher's grandmother commented on his plan with “You're crazy!”.
Becher is grateful for information on the history of the Hudler House
Financially, it will definitely be exciting: Becher reckons with total costs of at least 1.5 to 1.6 million euros. It will not work without funding from the city and the state, here he is planning around 500,000 euros in grants. As a city council, the transparency of the renovation is particularly important to him: In his opinion, the deliberations on the city's funding amount should definitely take place in a public meeting, and information about all the steps in the project should be provided online.
Becher does not yet know much about the history of the Hudler House, apart from a few interesting cornerstones: The building core probably dates from the years 1450 to 1550, but the facade is "only" 180 years old.
