At the moment, refugees are still being accommodated on the Schorn.

An alternative in the village is now being sought.

The good news at the end of the year was that the sports grounds of SV Inning can be expanded after years of deadlock.

The bad news is that the expansion area has to be moved north (we reported).

In order to be able to relocate the Schornstraße accordingly, the existing refugee accommodation has to give way.

On Tuesday, the result of a feasibility study was presented to the municipal council for the construction of alternative accommodation on a municipal property at the end of Griesstraße.

- Angel tongues could not convince the CSU councilors Thomas Bauer, Günther Kammerloher, Andreas Diethelm and Anna Herrmann.

Elevators and planned basement rooms seemed too luxurious to them.

“What do we need a basement for?

A homeless person is happy when he has a room and a bathroom, what good is a basement room?” Bauer asked himself.

Apart from the fact that the variants with three upper floors not only seemed too high, but also "very luxurious" compared to the houses on Gartenstrasse.

Kammerloher also feared that access to the adjacent fields would be too narrow.

That's why Anna Herrmann couldn't imagine the project in this "exposed place": "We're opening a completely new building area and creating a new structure." There is currently only one dirt road there.

In the opinion of the mayor and the majority of the council, the project would offer opportunities beyond just housing refugees.

However, the current situation is paramount: According to the Königsteiner key, Inning is obliged to offer space for at least 43 refugees.

Therefore, if the container accommodation is in the way, the municipality must provide a replacement.

Without it, the expansion of the sports area will not work.

Currently, the refugee accommodation in Inning costs nothing, the living containers are paid for by the government.

However, the municipality must finance a structural replacement.

The reaction in the council alone suggested that the project would not only find friends.

Hubert Vögele (Greens) warned: "We should come down from the envy debate.

This is not a palace, but a functional building. ”It is a special case and must be declared as such, said Johann Ritzer (FBB).

"We have to build it like this, it shouldn't just stand for two years.

You can also represent that to the citizen.” Against the four votes from the CSU parliamentary group, the planner was therefore commissioned to coordinate the draft of variant B with the funding agency.

Two variants on Griesstraße

Planner Alexander Pfletscher presented two accommodation options for refugees, the homeless and other needy people.

Both take up about half of the 3,800-square-meter oblong area owned by the community on Griesstrasse.

The community property is located directly on the outskirts - in the south the commercial area at the pond, in the north farmland.

The strip is 30 meters wide at its widest point.

Variant A envisages two three-storey houses with so-called arcades, offset one behind the other, in a simple cubature.

It would have space for twelve one- to five-room apartments of different sizes.

Variant B is characterized by structured structures with two and three storeys, in each of which nine apartments are arranged around a stairwell.

This variant is larger, but Pfletscher found that the looser construction means it blends in better with the adjacent residential buildings.

It also has the advantage of being changeable.

For example, the proposed five-room apartment has two bathrooms.

"With a drywall, an apartment could be separated quickly," explained Pfletscher.

He called this housing construction of the future.

Pfletscher based his study on the specifications of the relevant funding.

Accessibility is only one requirement.

30 percent is to be expected.

The property is included in the eligible costs, so that with construction costs of five million euros (variant A) or 5.8 million euros (variant B), a maximum of around three million euros will be incurred by the municipality.

Mayor Walter Bleimaier emphasized that these could in turn be financed by subsidized, cheap loans.

He and Pfletscher also assured that there is further potential for savings in the execution.
