Gmund - What is good for Gmund?
The municipality asks itself this question and wants to develop new types of housing.
Such a result of the second building culture workshop.
How do we deal with our land?
What types of housing do we want to create in order to meet the needs of the citizens of Gmund?
Is the single-family home still the model of the future?
How do we manage to preserve the typical regional appearance and still allow new, functional solutions?
The municipal councils recently dealt with these and other questions as part of the second building culture workshop.
"We have come a step further, even when it comes to questions that are not easy to answer," says Mayor Alfons Besel.
"Creating new, functional forms of living and at the same time preserving the architectural identity, i.e. our typical townscape, is not an easy task."
Develop building culture map for Gmund
He is grateful for the support from the Leader project “Baukulturregion Alpenvorland”, which is accompanying the process and networking the community with other communities - be they role models or locations with the same challenges.
“It is particularly important to ensure that planning is not missed out on demand,” explains Alfons Besel.
"That is why we will involve the citizens in the project in the autumn."
Specific goals are to revise the design statutes and develop a building culture map with particularly successful buildings in Gmund.
A public workshop is scheduled for Wednesday evening, October 27th, in which citizens can get involved.
A new type of residential complex is to be built
In addition, a new type of residential complex is to be built on at least one plot of land in Gmund.
The Gmund architect Carolin Mayer-Nowak, who is already actively involved in the “Gut für Gmund” project, and possibly other architects, support the community in finding out which properties are most suitable.
Another step is a study trip in September for the municipal councils to various municipalities that have implemented new forms of living in rural areas in an exemplary manner.
The next day there is a workshop with the question “What types of housing can we imagine in Gmund?”.
In autumn, when it is clear which plot of land is suitable for the residential project, there will be a pop-up office on the selected plot of land.
Through this contact point, which will be open to everyone in Gmund, the municipality wants to enter into an intensive exchange with the population in order to ensure that the new residential complex is implemented in the interests of the local community.
Leader project "Alpine Foreland Building Culture Region"
Gmund joined the Leader project “Baukulturregion Alpenvorland” as early as 2019 - alongside Holzkirchen as the second municipality in the Miesbach district.
In exchange with other municipalities from the districts of Rosenheim and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, solutions for sustainable building in the region are sought.
It is about economical and careful construction as well as sustainable use of space.
In addition, the team around Gmund's mayor Alfons Besel and building authority director Christine Wild wants to work with the municipal councils to develop ways of implementing the goals of affordable living space, combining living and working, and a suitable form of living for senior citizens.
