Great expectations for the old town and west bank: "There is a Wolfratshausen that lives"

You want to liven up the old town - and feel that you are on the right track.

The members of the LAW have elected a new board.

He criticizes a parliamentary group in the city council.

Wolfratshausen - “Our old town has character and charm.

And it has some catching up to do. ”This is how Hans-Werner Kuhlmann assesses the situation on Wolfratshauser Marktstrasse.

As head of the Lebendige Altstadt Wolfratshausen (LAW) association, his declared aim was to fill the market with life.

At the general meeting on Monday evening, Kuhlmann handed this task over to new hands.

After nine years in office, he did not run again.

Dietlind Diepen, a founding member of the 16-year-old association, also made her office available.

Both move to the advisory board.

Her successors are Ernst Gröbmair and Stefanie Linke.

We need doers who finally implement innovations. "

Hans-Werner Kuhlmann, outgoing LAW boss

The two outgoing board members urged progress in the old town.

"We need doers who finally implement innovations," emphasized Kuhlmann.

The association has great expectations of the public participation to upgrade the old town and the city manager - this position has existed in the city administration since 2018.

In 2007, the LAW demanded this post, which in Kuhlmann's eyes was an extremely important component: “It cannot continue like this.” In order to fill Marktstrasse with life again, it is necessary to lure people into the city center.

“The city has to create the parameters for this,” he explained.

West bank plans have been in the drawer for years - criticism of decision-makers

Despite the ongoing process, the club's wish list is still long. Right at the top is the redesign of the western bank of the Loisach. Plans for this have been in the drawer for years. Dietlind Diepen announced: “I will only completely stop working in the association when the first groundbreaking has been made.” She looked back on her work on the board. "Over the years, I always had the feeling that the city was divided," said Diepen. “There is a Wolfratshausen that lives.” She included associations and volunteers. On the other hand, there would be “Wolfratshausen of the decision-makers who are looking for a way out of lethargy”. This is "characterized by a lack of contours and discouragement". Nevertheless, the outgoing chairmen praisedthat the town hall chief and a large part of the city council had acknowledged the results of the citizen participation process.

The mayor exudes optimism - but is holding back expectations

Mayor Klaus Heilinglechner was optimistic about the projects mentioned: “It will.

I'm not giving up hope.

Unfortunately, it often takes a lot of time to admire the flowers. ”Many of the measures that were initiated bear the signature of the LAW.

Frequency generators such as the art mile - an idea by Hans-Werner Kuhlmann - can also be traced back to the association's commitment.

“I am always enthusiastic about their commitment.

Not only as a mayor - but also as a citizen ”, praised Heilinglechner.

Ernst Gröbmair and Stefanie Linke are slipping into the leading trio

From the previous top three, only architect Klaus-Peter Scharf (73) remains in office.

He formulated the goal of attracting younger people to work in the club.

With Stefanie Linke, the around 25 present elected a 40-year-old Wolfratshauser to the management trio.

Real estate agent Ernst Gröbmair (65) is also new to the group.

In addition to the two large-scale projects already mentioned, he also explained parking spaces close to the city center as a central issue: "I think we really have a problem here and we want to try to find a solution."

New board attacks Wolfratshauser list

Gröbmair sent greetings to the faction of the Wolfratshauser List, which had campaigned against the preliminary drafts for redesigning the old town with almost 400 signatures. Without giving a name, he spoke of "a handful of people who wanted to hold on to the state of the 1970s". "If you start again with questionable signature campaigns, then we will stand by our guns."
