Clear edge: The Wolfratshauser List fights the plans to upgrade the old town.

At a general meeting, a guest even announces legal action.

Wolfratshausen - The majority of the city council is convinced of the plans to upgrade the old town.

The preliminary draft was approved with 19: 3 votes.

The only people who raised their hands against the project were the councilors of the Wolfratshauser List.

The trio renewed their categorical no to the plans at a group meeting.

Roadway at the same height?

The list goes on the barricades

"We want to keep the Marienbrunnen with the plane trees and the Brockard lights," emphasized parliamentary group leader Helmut Forster.

“And we don't want a roadway at the same level.” List Wor has been emphasizing these requirements for months now, and at least the level design of the old town is now off the table.

Instead, the curb in the one-way street area should shrink to three centimeters.

For the members of the list an absurdity - on the one hand because they are concerned about the safety of pedestrians, on the other hand because of the rainwater that runs from the mountain forest into Marktstrasse.

If that happens, we will litigate homeowners

Christian Steeb, resident of Untermarkt

Christian Steeb, resident of Untermarkt, has great worries.

"During the last heavy rain, the sidewalk just stayed so dry," the curb served as a dam.

When this becomes lower - and the roadway becomes even narrower - "you can work out the amount of water running into the houses." Steeb announced legal action: "If that happens, we will litigate homeowners."

Heinz Wensauer, politically active Wolfratshauser and vocal critic of almost all city plans, considers the renovation to be out of date: "That doesn't match the pictures we last saw after the storms." The city councilors are responsible for continuing the plans have voted, "will only understand when the water is up to their chest," said Wensauer.

Hope for project opponents: lessons from the flood disasters

City Councilor Dr.

Manfred Fleischer expressed the hope that higher-level bodies could tip the elevated Marktstrasse: “The specialist authorities will take a very close look to see which concept they agree with.” The authorities had “not left their mark on the recent floods in Eifel or Berchtesgaden”.

The lack of parking spaces is a source of criticism

The fact that there are no parking spaces directly on the street is also a thorn in the side of the list.

"What do the old people do who want to see a doctor in town?" Asked Sabine Steckermaier.

Forster added: “And what do foreign guests who arrive by car do?” The ex-mayor emphasized: “In the old town, many traders fight for their livelihood every day.

And 70 percent of sales are made with customers who come by car. ”He, the city council's economic advisor, spoke to“ many traders ”about the situation.

His impression: "The dealers don't want that."

Lisa Herold cannot understand why “nobody spoke to people”.

According to her, it is the job of the city council to “ask the dealers and owners in Marktstrasse what would actually help them before spending any money on such a plan”.

After all, “people are attached to their existence”.

Steeb sees it the same way.

“It's arrogant not to speak to them.

This is imposed on them. "

If there is a year of renovation, the shops will be flattened.

Then we first have to find stores that want to go to our inner city

Richard Kugler, councilor

According to the scenario drawn by Richard Kugler, the majority of the dealers in the market will not experience the redesigned old town anyway: “If there is a year of renovation, the shops will be flattened.

Then we first have to find stores that want to go to our inner city. "

Forster promised the project opponents: “We will fight against it.” With that the list Wor has already started: At the most recent city council meeting Forster had given the mayor a list with 393 signatures of project opponents.  

It is not the first time that the Wolfratshauser List has taken a sharp attack on the project.

Just a few days ago, Dr.

Manfred Fleischer called parts of the plan "crazy idea for a few".
