On Friday, the supervisory board of Munich Airport approved the sale of a plot of land on which an investor wants to build a new event arena.
The representatives of the city of Munich were against, the Free State was in favor.
Munich - At the planned event arena on the grounds of Munich Airport *, despite a strict no from the city of Munich, the last word has apparently not yet been spoken.
According to information from our newspaper, the working committee of the Supervisory Board of Flughafen GmbH made a recommendation for the project on Friday, and the shareholders then voted for it with 51 percent.
The representatives of the majority owner - i.e. the Free State of Bavaria - prevailed and recommended that the investor SW Munich Real Estate be given the property to the west of the airport.
It is probably about a purchase price of 20 million euros.

Event arena at the airport: The city of Munich is against it - "Hall has negative effects"
The city is strictly against the project and voted against it on Friday.
Economic advisor Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU), a member of the airport's supervisory board, said on request that the city council decided on Thursday not to approve the hall plans.
On the one hand, the proceeds from the purchase price would be almost entirely used up by the costs of developing the property.
“On the other hand, it is to be feared that the hall operations could have negative effects on airport operations.” The federal government, as the third shareholder, abstained due to the upcoming change in the federal government, writes the

.
What Baumgärtner does not say, of course, is that the city also fears a competitive situation due to the construction of an event arena with up to 22,000 seats.
On the one hand to the already existing offer in the Olympiapark.
On the other hand, the city council also agreed on Thursday to look for an investor for a new multifunctional hall on the park area.
Greens in Munich are mad at the Free State: "Unfriendly act"
"This is, diplomatically expressed, an unfriendly act by the state government against the state capital, with which it also embarrassed its party friends in Munich to the bone," said the co-chair of the Green City Council faction, Anna Hanusch, in an initial reaction.
A large event hall at this location should obviously attract guests who come to a concert by car or even by plane.
"This is a mockery of all the goals of traffic
avoidance
and climate protection, which the Bavarian Prime Minister likes to talk
about in Sunday speeches
