The farmhouse in Schwabing is being demolished.
Residents and a citizens' initiative campaign for the preservation of the dairy house.
Can the historic building be saved?
Munich - Schwabing * as a village?
Those were the days when today's cult district of Munich * consisted of just two streets and farmhouses.
A house on Siegesstrasse still testified to this time - until Friday!
But now there is a construction fence in front of house number 17, and an excavator is tearing it down.
Local residents find it a sacrilege.
For weeks they have been campaigning for the house to be listed as “the last witness of its kind”.
Is a piece of historical Schwabing going to be lost again?
Bauernhäusl in Schwabing: demolition should be prevented
“The house, also known as the Sennhaus, was built around 1840 and from 1909 belonged to the Trummerbauernhof,” explains Birgit Sasowski from the Schwabing Pro citizens' initiative, which, after researching the city archives, wants to prevent the demolition.
Gabriella Meros from Schwabing is also committed to this and asked Mayor Dieter Reiter * for help again on Thursday (November 25th): "I ask you to raise your weighty voice and stop the demolition before excavators destroy everything."
Dorfstrasse became Siegesstrasse in 1871: “House numbers 19 and 21 are younger and are under monument protection.
Why not 17 too? ”Asks Sasowski.

Sennhaus not protected as a monument
The State Office for Monument Preservation has already checked the building twice.
According to Patric Wolf, head of the Schwabing district committee, the client has always been cooperative and has waited.
On Tuesday, however, the state office came to the same conclusion as in July: the building is not a monument.
If monument protection is not possible, then at least ensemble protection?
Schwabing Pro had recently applied for it - in the hope that the State Office for Monument Preservation could possibly veto one last time for this reason.
Then the city could have imposed a demolition stop, at least part of the house might still have been saved.
The demolition of the farmhouse continues
But: On Friday evening, the State Office for Monument Preservation said no.
Because an associated barn had been demolished years ago, the house is no longer a historic courtyard.
There is no ensemble protection.
The demolition continues - and the Schwabing family's heart is bleeding.
