Mayor Klaus Korneder took stock at the Grasbrunn citizens' meeting: the community's finances are good, property prices are too high, the crime rate has skyrocketed, “like in Chicago” - at least at first glance.
Grasbrunn
- When
Mayor Klaus Korneder
received
the
statistics from the police
in the
middle of last week
, he was extremely shocked at first, he said at the citizens' meeting.
From 2019 to 2020, the
crime rate
increased by over 180 percent.
“It's like Chicago now in Grasbrunn,” was his first thought.
Stefan Jochim, deputy head of the Haar police station, was able to reassure him and all Grasbrunners.
Two nationwide fraud series are driving the numbers up
It is true that the community has lost its long-term top position as the safest community for inspection.
“But that's only because there were two nationwide cases of fraud last year.
Both companies, the one with the investment fraud and the one with the leasing fraud, were based in Grasbrunn. ”If you factor out these 320 offenses, then Grasbrunn is as safe as ever in all other offenses, emphasized Jochim.
The population has dropped to 6906
As usual, Mayor Korneder started with “a few numbers”: the population of Grasbrunn fell to 6906 after the last election, “because many people did not change their registration when they left,” said Korneder.
The average Grasbrunner is 42.9 years young, everyone has 1.24 registered vehicles, lives in 50 square meters, every 16th has a dog, there are a total of 422 dogs in the village.
"In our childcare, 90 employees look after 500 children, and each child was given a place," reported Korneder.
Corona does not bring the finances into a tailspin
The coronavirus did not affect the community financially, 2020 was just as positive as it was in 2021. "Despite high expenses, such as the district levy with ten million euros or the gym with over eight million, our reserves will probably still be a good 14 Million euros. "
Real estate prices: in 2010 still at 550 euros per square meter - now at over 1,400 euros
The new residential area behind the Grasbrunner Hof with 61 apartments and 19 semi-detached and terraced houses is developing.
“Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the prices, but overall the real estate prices in Grasbrunn are far too high.
From around 550 euros in 2010 they have now risen to over 1,400 euros per square meter, ”said the mayor.
Construction work in Harthausen is suspended due to archaeological investigations
A small step towards affordable living space is being made in Harthausen with 18 apartments, but construction work there is currently suspended due to possible ground monuments.
That is why the “Kugler hole” (see box) still gapes.
The municipality still has the goal of nationwide fiber optic expansion, a lot has already been achieved, but the current status is not sufficient.
"We will check whether we expand ourselves, participate or enter into a cooperation."
The last plot of land for the cycle path from Grasbrunn to Neukeferloh was bought
It is gratifying that the last piece of land for the cycle path from Grasbrunn to Neukeferloh has finally been acquired, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2022.
Discussions are still needed on the cycle path from Harthausen to Grasbrunn; this could be implemented in 2023.
“On the way from Grasbrunn to Keferloh, we still lack space; no short-term success is to be expected here.” Construction of the roundabout at the Forstwirt is scheduled to begin in May 2022, and it will be completed by the end of 2022.
For the key to the cemetery toilet you need a certificate of weak bladder
The Schönecker couple suggested a significant improvement in the crossing aid on Waldbrunner Straße by means of a zebra crossing. "This transition is not safe for us and our children, everyone is racing through it," say the Schöneckers. Mayor Klaus Korneder regretted the situation there very much, the community had applied for traffic lights, zebra crossings and Tempo 30 several times. “According to the police, too few people cross the street there, so everything was rejected. We can apply again, but I have little hope. "
Pascal Berlage asked when the “Kugler Hole” in Grasbrunn would finally be filled, “it's so ugly there with the huts and construction vehicles. And what happens when the hole is closed? ”According to Korneder, the hole should long ago be filled with the excavation of the construction project in Harthausen. “Then archeology stopped us. When it is full, we still stick to our plan to build a daycare center there. "
Hans Stockbauer had two inquiries about the cemetery.
For one thing, he criticized the locked toilet.
And he criticized: "I don't understand why abandoned graves are not properly sown or planted, but the bare gravel lies there." Philipp Zweck from the municipal cemetery administration justified the locked toilet with extreme soiling in the past.
"Everyone with a bladder weakness certificate receives a key for the toilet from us," said Zweck.
Regarding the abandoned graves, there are no regulations, but they will be taken care of.
