Premiere for Martin Vaas: For the first time, the head of Allershausen's town hall gave a live account of the activities in the community at a town hall meeting.

Allershausen

- Blue jacket, blue tie, blue jeans - Martin Vaas made it clear at the first town hall meeting as head of the municipality which Munich football club his heart beats for.

The fact that it was only 59 and not 60 slides that he brought to the Fuchswirt did not detract from that.

For exactly one hour, Vaas reported on what was happening in the community, presented figures, projects and an outlook for 2022.

The festival will take place this year

He announced a very important message – and that would have been the 60th slide – at the end of his report: in 2022, after a two-year break, there will be another folk festival in Allershausen.

That made Vaas happy.

Because: "I don't want to go down in the history of Allershausen as the mayor who never tapped into a folk festival."

It began as town meetings often begin: with numbers.

Speeders were flashed 2071 times last year.

The negative record holders: 68 km/h in a 30 zone, 93 km/h where 50 are allowed and 110 km/h where you are only allowed to have 60 “things” on it.

Second highest growth rate

Always important: the population development.

Between 2010 and 2020, the population increased by 971, which corresponds to a growth rate of 19.2 percent.

This puts Allershausen, together with Hallbergmoos (just over 20 percent), at the top of the Freising district.

At the end of 2021, 6,303 people lived in the municipal area, the proportion of foreigners was 21.9 percent - led by 261 Romanians.

According to Vaas, 77 Ukrainians, mostly war refugees, are housed in Allershausen.

The number of people leaving the church is steadily increasing: while there were still 55 in 2019, there were already 77 leaving in 2020 and even 102 in 2021. Figures for the first four months show that this trend will continue in 2022.

The number of births fell from 70 in 2019 to 66 in 2020 to 64 in 2021 – contrary to what “maybe could have been expected” because of the lockdown, Vaas joked.

Shortage of staff in childcare

The situation in the area of ​​childcare is less amusing: Although there are many childcare places in the crèche, kindergarten and after-school care area, and the deficit of 1.35 million euros in 2021 is not the problem, but the lack of staff is.

"The market has been grazed", Martin Vaas described the situation.

The municipal finances, on the other hand, do not currently pose any major problems for the head of the town hall and the municipal council: only a slight decline in trade tax revenue to currently four million euros made Vaas “glad that we got through the pandemic so well”.

As far as the tax capacity of the municipality is concerned, it is in seventh place in the district and 293rd in Bavaria (among 2056 municipalities).

Allershausen is still debt-free

And then Vaas insisted on throwing "my predecessor's favorite film" on the screen.

"The municipality of Allershausen has been debt-free since 2008!" it read.

Vaas announced that this will probably not remain the case in view of the projects that are pending.

And that brought him to what had been tackled and in part already implemented over the past two years: First, there was the expansion of Münchner Strasse as part of the construction of the new motorway bridge, something that led to "great uproar and turmoil", hardly that he was in office.

But: "It turned out well." The expansion of Kesselbodenstrasse, which cost the community around 2.5 million euros, also turned out well.

The awarding of the 49 plots of land in the Eggenberger Feld Süd construction area was "not an easy story either".

For 220,000 euros, containers were built for the Spatzennest kindergarten, where a sixth group was accommodated.

1.7 million euros went into the renovation of the sewage treatment plant ("A hefty investment. But it doesn't help."), the water house was renovated for 500,000 euros.

With a cost of 105,000 euros, the new Mühlbach Bridge was almost a bargain, sidewalks on Abt-Joseph-Straße, Friedhofstraße and in Tünzhausen cost a total of 330,000 euros.

And then there was the Penny Market fire last year, which Vaas mentioned: "Everyone was shocked." But the newly built Penny Market is scheduled to open in two years, according to the good news.

The guests listened with interest to the statements made by the head of the town hall.

In the question and answer session afterwards, one citizen lost his head.

And what will 2022 bring?

The start of construction for the new kindergarten in Eggenberger Feld Süd is on the agenda.

In view of the price increases in the construction sector, however, he had "a bit of a stomach ache," admitted Vaas.

The cost estimate is currently 7.2 million euros.

(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

"If we end the race with 8.5 million in 2024, then we can be happy," is his somewhat gloomy forecast.

The money could come from trade tax, for example.

Vaas hoped that the development plan on the A9 could be decided upon in the coming municipal council meeting, then publicly displayed and finally finalized, in order to enable the Yaskawa company to rent the two 15-metre-high halls.

Harsh criticism of parking restrictions

While Vaas had also praised the mood and cooperation in the municipal council in his report, some citizens saw it differently, complaining during the break that he found it "sick" that most decisions were taken unanimously.

The anger then erupted during question time, when the parking regulations for the Reckmühle and the Weiherwiesen decided by the municipal council were heavily criticized: Unnecessarily, so the allegations, extremely restrictive parking restrictions were ordered there, and there were many “unqualified statements” in the municipal council , no one spoke to the residents, no answers were received, all of this is - according to the ADAC - not legal at all, according to the harsh criticism of Vaas and the committee.

Of course, he countered that he was there and was looking for talks.

Local authorities and the police had classified the procedure as legal - and that was decisive for him, not the ADAC.

The topic was often discussed publicly in the municipal council, so there could be no talk of "behind closed doors".

And with that "the topic is over for me", it will not be discussed again in the municipal council.

Some local councilors confirmed Vaas' statements and gave him their full backing.

And then there was a resident of the Volksfestplatz, who described in calm words that young people kept gathering there to make noise in the evening, especially at the weekend.

A regulation had to be made now, she appealed to the mayor.

He was aware of the situation, he was already in contact with the municipal youth worker and the police.

They will now take rigorous action, have personal details recorded in order to be able to issue fines or even referrals.

Remmidemmi on the fairground

One thing is already known: Most of the young adults who did the "Remmidemmi" came from Unterschleißheim and Pfaffenhofen.

What is happening on the fairground also goes "against the grain" for him, as Vaas emphasized.

Logically, because the Volksfestplatz is there for the Volksfest.

And that will finally happen again in 2022 - "O'zapft is!" by the mayor included.
