Krailling - Another tree fell victim to the redesign of the center of Kraillingen.
The decision was made quickly and quietly.
The resentment stirs all the louder.
An ash tree stands in the way of further redesigning the center of Kraillingen. The Paulhanplatz in Krailling should be big, there should also be a path, and the roots of the tree do not play along. According to experts, the tree will not survive the planned construction work. That is why a majority of the local council decided in a special meeting on Tuesday to avoid the slow death of the ash by cutting it down straight away. It should be so far next Tuesday. Now resentment is stirring in the community.
Like the majority of the Greens parliamentary group, councilor Andrea Schulte-Krauss voted against the felling. "We see no reason to fell a healthy tree," she says indignantly. “Whenever things have to be done quickly, we like them. That is not up-to-date. ”Your co-board member at the Greens, Dawid Kowala, is ready to sit down with others, spent the Thursday morning in the shade of the tree and exchanged views with local residents:“ They were not so enthusiastic that the tree fell should be, ”he says.
On Thursday evening, the Greens submitted an urgent application together with the Bund Naturschutz: They want the possibilities of preservation to be discussed again in public and then decided. Because Schulte-Krauss questions that the most recent public meeting was made public. Last Tuesday's special session was only called on Friday evening. It was not announced on the Internet or in the showcases. The Münchner Merkur was not informed of this either.
Schulte-Krauss is annoyed that the ash will not be the first tree to fall victim to the redesign of the center of the town despite planning to the contrary. Three trees that should have been moved were felled and disposed of "to save 4,000 euros". Now a "quick, dirty solution" is preferred again. “It can't be.” The mistake lies in the planning, then it just has to be rescheduled.
Building authority director Sebastian Beel said on Merkur's request that “one would have had to reschedule massively” in order to protect the tree's roots, the space would have become smaller and the path would have been eliminated.
The planners tried to preserve the tree.
"We took a lot of effort to expose the roots." It turned out: "The tree has no chance of survival" - should be built as planned;
the roots are not deep enough.
Since the planning began before his time as building authority manager, he says: "I also don't know why they planned over there."
