Comparable to the bike playground in Brannenburg, a pump track could be created in Hausham using natural means as part of an intermunicipal youth sports facility with a Miesbach stream.

Hausham – A youth leisure facility is to be built on the municipal border between Hausham and Miesbach.

A skater park also seems conceivable.

The municipalities of Hausham and Miesbach are considering building a youth sports facility near their border in Haidmühl next to the cycle path from Miesbach to Agatharied.

Hausham gave the green light in the April meeting of the local council to consider building a pump track for five to twelve year olds in his hallway.

A basketball hoop on the premises of ESB Südbayern (ESB) is also planned.

The decision as to whether Miesbach will follow suit with a skate park in the immediate vicinity is expected to be made at the city council meeting at the end of April.

As mayor Jens Zangenfeind said, the Miesbacher FWG city councilor Markus Seemüller approached him a good six months ago and informed him that the neighboring municipality in the Haidmühl area was considering a skate park.

ESB, which maintains a small building in the Haidmühl area, on whose fortified forecourt a basketball hoop could be set up, should also be on board.

That was the previous plan.

Pump track on site basically conceivable

Like almost everywhere else, the children in Hausham have long wanted a skate park and pump track.

That's why Zangenfeind spoke to his colleague in Miesbach, Gerhard Braunmiller, about whether an inter-municipal project would make sense.

Zangenfeind did not want to comment on the extent to which Miesbach's plans have progressed, because the city council is not scheduled to vote on this until the end of April.

However, Hausham has already asked the responsible authorities whether such a system would be possible in the area of ​​the water protection area.

According to this, a pump track on the narrow, around 1,200 square meter area would be conceivable in principle if it was made of natural materials and managed without soil sealing.

Bike playground in Brannenburg as a model

Zangenfeind named 50,000 euros as a rough estimate.

This is how much the bike playground in Brannenburg, which opened at the end of 2018 but is much larger than in Hausham, cost, but which is comparable in terms of its layout.

Treasurer Martin Reisberger assumes that around 50 percent of the costs could be funded through the Leader program.

If the project is implemented, the children and young people should be involved.

How, explained Lena Renner, who is responsible for municipal youth work in the district office: “We want to address the kids in their language in the schools and the jute and invite them to participate.

What is worked on together is valued more.” A great idea, thought Erich Kogler (FWG), who would like to go one step further: “It would be even better if the young people could also work on it themselves.”

Criticism of plans in Hausham

Thomas Danzer (SPD) was strictly against the system: “The water protection area is too sensitive to build a leisure facility on it.

Young people have to learn that too.” Zangenfeind replied that that is exactly what the young people could be taught if they were included in the planning.

Harda von Poser (Greens) and Markus Czernik (CSU) doubted that the children and young people in Hausham would benefit from the facility because it is much closer to Miesbach and too far away.

Renner said: "Believe me, if the children want it, they will also drive there from Hausham."

Majority decision in the municipal council

Zangenfeind also saw no point in counting things up: "In the interests of the children, we shouldn't think in such narrow community boundaries." This statement was supported by Erich Eckmair (CSU), who himself works as a lay judge at the district court: "Every minute in which Keeping young people sensibly busy pays off.”

Even in the absence of an alternative location, it was ultimately decided against the three votes from the SPD parliamentary group to continue with the planning and to obtain offers and apply for funding.
