The new residential building on Biberger Strasse in Unterhaching does not meet with enthusiasm everywhere.
At the citizens' meeting, a citizen complained: "It looks like a prison."
Unterhachin
g - Even if the Unterhaching Citizens' Assembly revolves around traffic issues (we reported): Another topic also came up several times, namely the housing situation.
District Administrator Christoph Göbel (CSU) already mentioned this at the beginning when he defended the not undisputed extension of the refugee accommodation on the Hachinger Haid.
By 2022, in addition to the existing building, space is to be created for a further 116 recognized asylum seekers.
"It is an important project to enable these people to take the step into a normal life with us," said Göbel.
A little greening couldn't hurt
Later, when the questions from the auditorium and from the live chat, it was about a building that had already been completed: the joint project of the Maro cooperative and the Unterhaching building cooperative on Biberger Straße.
“This is not a beautiful building.
It looks like a prison, ”complained a Unterhachinger.
Was it possible that more architectural flair was not possible here?
Mayor Wolfgang Panzer (SPD) found that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
But he admitted that the gray facade with its monotonous plot structure could do with a bit of greening - one would approach the cooperatives.
Security for residents of the dementia shared flat
Town hall spokesman Simon Hötzl added at the request of
Münchner Merkur
that some wild wine should climb up.
Regarding the stone wall on Biberger Straße, he said: “This was a mandatory requirement because behind it there is a dementia shared apartment with ten places - for the safety of the residents.” So no “prison”, but partly a functional building with restricted freedom of movement.
In addition to the dementia flat-sharing community, the building complex, which, according to Hötzl, is "very beautiful inside" and designed as a multi-generation house, contains a total of 33 cooperative apartments, 21 from Maro and 12 from BGU.
