The monument policy spokeswoman for the Greens in the state parliament, Sabine Weigand, visited Hallbergmoos.
The focus: use of listed buildings in everyday life.
Hallbergmoos
- On her tour, the politician looks at monuments in need of renovation all over Bavaria.
But also those that have positive examples of “windows into the past”, as MdL Johannes Becher put it.
The member of the state parliament had joined the tour together with Leon Eckert, Bundestag candidate of the Greens from Eching.
Local spokeswoman Sabina Brosch and the deputy district administrator Robert Wäger organized it.
The focus of the tour: The Church of St. Theresa, the morgue, the restaurant "Otto von Wittelsbach - Alter Wirt" and the Birkeneck Castle.
The leadership
The tour was led by the volunteer local historian Karl-Heinz Zenker, who provided a lot of historical knowledge and material. Because of a stroke, he is physically handicapped and uses a walker. People with restricted mobility like him find it difficult to get into the church, consecrated in 1833: there is still no barrier-free access. The installation of an elevator and the renovation of the church has long been announced by the Archbishop's Ordinariate, but has not yet started due to Corona and staff changes. "Especially in view of the demographic development, it is important that there is accessibility," Weigand emphasized. “I'll check with the area officer how things are going. In principle, it's then about finding funding.The church and the congregation have to team up. I am confident that a solution can be found. "

Creative solutions
Becher recalled that even under Prime Minister Horst Seehofer, barrier-free access in public spaces was announced until 2021.
“That was a huge failure.” Monuments, according to Becher's attitude, do not always have to be barrier-free according to the DIN standard.
“Barrier-free” would help a lot.
Weigand also spoke out in favor of “allowing creative solutions”.
Then we went to the inn "Otto von Wittelsbach - Alter Wirt" in Ludwigstrasse from 1830: The oldest inn in the community, which for decades was abandoned to decay and was an eyesore, was extensively renovated and in 2020 integrated into the Holiday Inn Hotel.
Old landlord has been tastefully renovated
Weigand emphasized that a historic inn should not be given into the hands of others.
But a good solution has been found here - for the monument and the municipality.
The old landlord is very nice and tastefully renovated.
Becher agreed - with some reservations: he liked the fact that original parts of the building, windows, stairs, floorboards and attic have been preserved.
“It is crucial that monuments are used.
A building like this with its history defines the place and gives it a face. "However, he added," With all due respect, the building here does not have this recognition value. "
