Germering – No means yes and yes means no.

On April 24, the Germeringer can put their cross.

With the help of a referendum, the future of the development of the Kreuzlinger Feld should be voted on.

Both sides have been positioning themselves for months and promoting the respective cross.

On the one hand there is the citizens' initiative Livable Germering (BI), which, as spokeswoman Ursula Leis says, is not completely opposed to the development of the Kreuzlinger Feld, but "would like to prevent the planning as it is currently." BI especially against hostility in the social media, they are fundamentally against building.

"That's not true.

We want the citizens to be more involved,” says Leis.

An architectural competition should bring a new beginning.


The citizens' initiative also receives support from the Germeringer SPD.

In a letter to the press, the comrades express their approval.

"The citizens' initiative 'Liveable Germering' does not oppose the development of the area in western Germering, because everyone involved is aware of how urgently affordable housing is needed," said Helmut Lindauer, chairman of the local association, after a meeting of the Germering SPD board.

Rather, the initiative calls for a new framework plan to be drawn up with effective public participation and for care to be taken to ensure that issues such as climate change and the turnaround in transport are seriously taken into account and that permanently affordable housing is created, Lindauer continued.


Liebetruth expects a lot from the success of the referendum

SPD parliamentary group spokesman Daniel Liebetruth also has high hopes for the success of the referendum: "Affordable living space limited to a few years loses its effect after the bond has expired." The current plans include temporary social bonds for almost a third of the living space.

The district's housing association, for example, succeeds in creating permanently affordable living space for six to eight euros per square meter.

This is unbeatably cheap, emphasizes Liebetruth, and more than 60 percent of the income falls within the income limits that entitle them to move into such an apartment.

If the referendum voted yes, the city would be obliged to provide permanently affordable housing.

The spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group is hoping for a high level of participation in the referendum after the legal disputes surrounding the referendum.

The city council initially declared the citizens' initiative inadmissible with the votes of the CSU and Free Voters (FW).

This decision did not stand up in court, so that the city council's decision had to be reversed.


In order to substantiate its point of view even further, the BI is launching a massive program: from March 6th, posters will be posted in Germering, information stands will follow at the weekly markets (like Vilgertshofer has already set up) and from March 14th a series of digital lectures will start 45-minute lectures with speakers on the topics of climate and urban climate, municipal and social housing and bicycle-friendly infrastructure, which can also be discussed afterwards.

"The importance of urban green spaces in climate change" by Prof. Dr.

Stephan Pauleit, TU Munich, on March 14 at 7 p.m.

The Zoom meeting can be joined at https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/92237420137?pwd=bFhuL2ZHMGRRdjlWdFVET3FJTi9FZz09.

Further information can be found on the BI homepage.

Investor speaks up

But the investor also speaks up and defends himself against false statements that are circulating online and in real life.

On the website www.kreuzlinger-feld.de, the property developer, the Vilgertshofer group of companies from Alling and HI Wohnbau GmbH from Munich, are advertising their project in Germering: "A "No" that stands for the future." Around 600 apartments are to be built in several construction phases at Kreuzlinger Feld.

From 1 to 5 room apartments, everything is included.

According to the investor, these should then also be sold to citizens of Germeringer - sometimes with a discount of two percent.

They also have a right of first refusal before other interested parties.

On Vilgertshofer's homepage not only questions about the planning and the progressing process are clarified,

the Allinger investor also clears up “false allegations” as he writes.

For example, he devotes himself to overly dense development or the ventilation of the quarter.

The Germeringer Greens will present their position paper on the Kreuzlinger Feld project and the corresponding upcoming referendum next week.


BI needs about 6,000 votes to get closer to its goal of a new edition.

However, this also presupposes that no more Germeringer side with Vilgertshofer and vote no.

The outcome remains exciting.

Now the Germeringers are asked to tick their boxes, but in this case a yes means a no and a no means a yes for the further course of the project.
