Because of the G7 summit, the Werdenfels sports aviation group had to do without its runway for a long time.

It is not yet clear what exactly the volunteer fire brigades in Murnau and Ohlstadt will face.

Ohlstadt

– About every 14 days, Dr.

Robert Hecht in contact with the federal police.

The reason for these meetings is obvious: After 2015, the federal police are using the Pömetsried airfield for the second time, which belongs to the Werdenfels sports aviation group.

Hecht is the chairman and therefore leads the negotiations.

At the G7 summit in Elmau in 2015, the lead time was of course different.

Back then it was a year and a half, this time it's six months.

The experiences that the glider pilots had in 2015 were "very positive", says Hecht.

"It was honest and fair.

So there was no reason to say no.” The chairman remembers a “great cooperation”.

In terms of flying, it was "not easy" at the time.

"That was attractive."

G7 summit: Police do not want to comment - glider pilots have to do without runways

The politicians' meeting takes place from June 26th to 28th.

The glider pilots have to do without their runway for 16 days this year.

You will dodge.

Where to is not yet clear.

There are several options.

Hecht can even see something positive about the fact itself.

He thinks it's good for social cohesion if the members go somewhere else together.

There are 130 active, including 30 students and 20 flight instructors.

"We are strong in youth development," emphasizes the club boss.

The federal police cannot use the airfield for free.

According to Hecht, there is a rental agreement.

When asked whether the conditions are "generous", the club boss is buttoned up.

"No comment." The federal police also said nothing about this.

She keeps quiet anyway.

Many of the questions in the daily newspaper say that no information can be given “for tactical reasons”.

The security measures for the G7 summit are currently being planned.

During the 16 days, a group of four to six members will also be present in Pömetsried.

They are available on site if any questions arise.

Overall, Hecht is optimistic.

"We know what to expect." It's the same with the federal police.

You already know many of their employees.

Meanwhile, the fire brigades from Murnau and Ohlstadt are also waiting for what is to come.

When exactly the deployment of the forces is necessary, how and to what extent, that "is not yet certain," says the Ohlstadt commander Christoph Gratz.

He associates the summit seven years ago with positive memories.

"2015 was an experience." A change from normal fire service life.

The work cost around 100,000 euros, significantly less than estimated.

G7 summit 2022: Four million euros - fire brigades receive special funding

“The effort was kept within limits.

If that's the case again, it's okay.

But we don't know anything yet.” In 2015, the Ohlstadt weir had to cover the fire protection on the days of the summit.

In shifts.

Together with the Murnau comrades.

There was a lot of flight activity.

It was important to be ready for every take-off and every landing.

As reported, the district fire brigades will receive a special grant of four million euros.

Ohlstadt will also benefit from this.

The military gets a new emergency vehicle.

Something should also happen in Murnau in this regard.

On the one hand they want to procure an HLF 20, on the other hand a command vehicle.

The former will replace an LF 16, which is often used and is no longer brand new.

"A replacement purchase would have been pending in the next few years anyway," says Murnau's commander Florian Krammer.

G7 summit: fire brigade buys new vehicles

The case with the command vehicle is similar.

The vehicles are not completely free.

But the promotion is higher than normal.

The vehicles will probably not be brand new.

You may be able to purchase demonstration models.

Because it has to be quick.

The companions have to be there for the G7 summit in Elmau.

It usually takes two years to get a new one.

The G7 funding program was now also the subject of the Murnau municipal council – behind closed doors.

Reason: There were contracts to be awarded, "which are not discussed publicly due to the pricing", as city hall spokeswoman Annika Röttinger reports.
