The “hypo-gentrification” debate on Türkenstrasse is still smoldering.
A new law could theoretically also apply in Munich.
Munich - For a long time it was a nerve-wracking fight between tenants and owners in Türkenstrasse 50. At the end of May, the last tenant moved out of the building.
In June, the building application for the construction of new residential and business units was submitted.
After the neighboring building and a rear building next door have already been demolished, the investor now also wants to demolish the rear building of number 50 and renovate the protected front building.
The district committee (BA) Maxvorstadt rejected this unanimously, as did the requested tree felling and a change in the building plan.
Real estate plan in Munich is making waves: "Particularly bad project"
Ruth Gehling (Greens) summarizes the project on Türkenstrasse as a “particularly bad project of hypo-gentrification”.
A total of 60 tenants had to give way to the luxury new building of "Legat Living", which even provides three less residential units than were previously available.
The district committee regrets that the building land mobilization law passed by the Bundestag has not yet been implemented at state level.
That is why the Greens and the SPD demanded in a joint motion "to make the provisions of the building land mobilization law applicable to Bavaria as quickly as possible".
This law aims to prevent events like the one here on Türkenstrasse.
Hope that the law will also be enforced in Munich
For example, the speculative conversion of rental apartments into owner-occupied apartments is to be stopped and the municipal right of first refusal is to be extended so that tenants are “better protected against displacement”.
The demand that this law is now also enforced in Bavaria and thus in Munich * was approved by a majority in the committee.
