Walls at risk of collapse had the client, Anton Hoefter, torn down as part of the renovation of the “source”.
The problem: this had not been approved in advance.
Therefore, the district office has now temporarily suspended construction.
Wackersberg
- The construction work on the former source management, or “source” for short, has stopped.
Nothing happened last.
Was it a planned break over the Whitsun vacation?
No, in fact, the district office has ceased construction, as spokeswoman Marlis Peischer announced when asked.
The reason: It was "built or demolished contrary to the building permit".
They are currently in the middle of the building inspection process, corresponding tests are pending, and the client is in contact.
According to Peischer, with reference to the ongoing proceedings, further information is not possible.
As reported, owner Anton Hoefter wants to rebuild the former economy, which has been an artist's studio in the meantime.
Four holiday apartments and a manager's apartment are to be built.
At the beginning of May, the work still seemed to be well on schedule.
Hoefter: "There was imminent danger"
At the request of the Tölzer Kurier, Anton Hoefter explains why some parts were torn down contrary to the building permit.
“We noticed that certain areas are in a much worse condition than we had previously thought.” Since there was “imminent danger”, in other words, there was a possibility of collapse, these parts were better torn down.
Thereupon the district office stopped the construction.
“In the next three weeks we should be informed of how things are going to proceed,” says Hoefter, who emphasizes that he wants to restore the “source” to the same condition it was in before - just renovated.
The rehabilitated “source” is supposed to bring revival
The building was built in the 1950s.
"Back then you did things that you no longer do today." For example, built in wooden beams that have now become rotten.
He speaks of massive impairments.
“Our goal is to properly rehabilitate the 'source'.
But if the district office has a different opinion.
.
. “In the worst case, the renovation work would have to be stopped completely.
“But that cannot be in the interests of the community.” After all, a rehabilitated “spring” should provide a revitalization.
Seminars are planned, for example.
A cessation of construction would also be extremely annoying for him.
He has already invested a lot.
The Jodquellen AG also need the building in order to continue to use the source there.
Because the iodine products that the company sells - including soap and shampoo - are made with the iodine from the Sauersberg spring.
The iodine has been used since 1856, when the acidic source was discovered.
