The Karl Haider monument at the stronghold in Schliersee has grown in a little.

The tourism association now wants to upgrade the lookout point.

Schliersee

- The brother of the vineyard needs a haircut.

No, this does not mean the long beard on the bust of Karl Haider on the monument of the same name on the stronghold in Schliersee.

Rather, it's about the hill itself. "We are repeatedly asked that you have to cut out a bit here," reports the chairman of the Schliersee Touristik association, Johannes Wegmann, who takes care of the stone rondel with benches and plaques for earned Schlierseeers.

In fact, the perennials would grow more and more and thus obscure the view of the lake and mountains.

Theft of bronze plaques has not yet been resolved

But Wegmann does not want to be satisfied with “just cutting out a bit”. Especially since there is still a need for action on the monument itself after the theft of three of the four bronze plaques in March of this year, which has not yet been resolved. Wegmann, who works full-time as an architect, has a bigger vision for the stronghold. He wants the whole area to blossom anew in the truest sense of the word.

Wegmann got professional support for this.

The Landscape Management Association (LPV) around its managing director Mathias Fischer and Josef Faas from the Lower Nature Conservation Authority at the District Office are supposed to help transform the thicket into a wildflower meadow.

According to Wegmann, there is also funding for this, as the project is to be supervised over a period of two years.

Currently they are still looking for a horticultural company, preferably a local one, of course.

According to Wegmann, the goal is a new panorama point for Schliersee - and thus a worthy brother of the popular vineyard.

The monument is to be expanded - for Schliersee local history researchers who are still alive

However, the focus should continue to be on the memory of well-known Schliersee lakes. The Schliersee Touristik Verein not only has the stolen memorial plaques of the composers Werner Bochmann and Carl Schwarz, the founder of the local history museum Alois Wolf and the long-time tourism association chairman Friedl Wegmann, Johannes Wegmann's father, replaced, but also wants to add another plaque. The man who is to be immortalized here, however, stands out from the others: He is still alive.

We are talking about local history researcher Gerhard Wittig (92).

This is still a popular source for anyone interested in history in Schliersee, explains Wegmann.

"If you want to know something historical, ask him." With his contributions to house research and the Schliersee Chronicle, he has created an important work.

"That," says Wegmann, "should be appreciated during his lifetime."

The namesake of the monument, Karl Haider, should also receive a more appropriate legacy.

Currently there is only one quote from him to be read under his bust, explains Wegmann.

In future, visitors to the stronghold will be able to find out more about the portrait painter of the Bavarian kingdom who died in Schliersee in 1902 on a separate board.
