Steinebach / district

- Gene Aurigemma actually runs Il Kiosko on Birkenweg in Steinebach. After nice summer evenings, however, he is above all a tidier. Together with an employee, he then collects until 7 a.m. what is left of the night's feasts on the meadow next to his kiosk. That's a lot of trash, bottles and broken glass. He finds excrement and other unsightly things in front of his toilets. There are mostly sleepless nights behind the people around the lake, because the feasts are accompanied by loud music and roaring. Accordingly, the pressure on the community had increased in the past few weeks. On Wednesday evening, the local councils pulled the rip cord: Alcohol is forbidden from 10 p.m. on the entire bank area of ​​Lake Wörth in Steinebach and on Moosbichlweg up to the S-Bahn station. It may neither be consumed nor carried.In addition, security personnel should prevent packs from forming at night.

The mood in the meeting was heated.

Around ten residents were in the audience, and mayor Christel Muggenthal finally forbade further requests to speak during the public question time.

Nocturnal calls to the mayor and harsh e-mails have long since intensified the tone between the community and residents.

Some councils also had their doubts as to whether the alcohol ban is the method of choice.

Dirk Bödicker (WA) appealed to all mayors of the lakes to sit down and take a common line.

“There was a displacement competition and we are the last.” In the Herrschinger Kurpark there has long been an alcohol ban, and strict controls are also carried out there.

Security staff will also be on the way around the lake and the S-Bahn area in Weßling from next week.

“Of course there are also groups that behave decently,” remarked Thomas Bernhard (FW). “But it has got out of hand.” All councilors admitted that the past few months had been particularly difficult for young people. “The lake is simply a magnet for people, you can't expect any rest there. I would like to see more tolerance, ”said Jakob Aumiller (CSU) - and earned bitter laughter from the audience. But Mayor Christel Muggenthal saw it similarly: "When you move there, you have to know that it is sometimes loud," she said. However, if the young people became aggressive, loud and destructive, "then you cannot expect the residents to do that". Nobody wants to drive away the young people. For Peter Hopmann (WA), the alcohol ban was also a safety measure: “It's about alcohol abuse.These are very young people who drink alcohol into themselves. "

The residents were only partially satisfied after the meeting.

In a conversation with the Starnberg Mercury, they were particularly annoyed about the expectation that they would have to endure something as a lake shore.

"We have lived there for many years, but it was never like this," said one citizen.

She herself has teenage children who would not dare to go there in the evenings for fear of the boozing hordes.

Others complained about the garbage that was in their garden every morning.

Aurigemma cannot remember either that it was ever this extreme.

“That is also due to the pandemic.

But where should the young people go? ”He regularly seeks to talk to the groups that come from Herrsching, Starnberg, Weßling, Gilching and Germering.

"You can talk to them, and you should."

The garden door to the playground was also demolished at night.

The youngsters left bottles and broken glass on the playground.

Muggenthal contacted a community security service the morning after the meeting.

From now on he will control the bank areas, even at night.

“I am assuming a strong signaling effect,” she says.

In Gauting, the police ended a celebration of around 70, mostly drunk young people at the Würm on Wednesday evening. The community there is not thinking of a ban on alcohol, as that would relocate the celebrations to other areas - and there are too few meeting places for young people anyway. In parts of Starnberg there is already a nocturnal alcohol ban, which the city believes has proven its worth. According to the Starnberg police, there have been no recent incidents.
