Schondorf – After the Council was catapulted at least into the decade after next, it has now been brought back down to earth as feasible facts.

While the architects Florian Wiesler and Tobias Schmidt had presented a futuristic but hardly affordable feasibility study for the station shed in the "Neue Mitte", Schondorf's flagship artist Andreas Kloker now spoke up with his own concept.

It was judged by the municipal council to be “attractive, down-to-earth and, above all, inexpensive”.

Kloker sees his idea as a community-promoting and more village-like variant with less concrete and faster to implement.

His suggestion would not stand in the way of a later redesign of the square as a town center, such as an extension to the town hall, the opening of the park-like area behind the youth center or a partial building over of the Edeka car park.


It is important to Kloker to preserve the shape of the goods shed from 1898.

As an example of how you can turn a shabby railway building into a jewel, he named the striking red former signal box of his colleague Annunciata Foresti in Diessen.

"We're not exactly blessed with listed buildings here in Schondorf," he said.

"That's why I think it's particularly important to preserve the shed in its current form for posterity."


Kloker would like to turn the renovation into a community-supporting project.

There are many jobs that non-professionals can do.

Such as help with roof covering and covering, with gutter drainage, with repairs or cleaning work.

There were enough tasks for professionals, such as setting railings or a lift at the west ramp for wheelchair users.

When it comes to exterior painting, one should go for “bold colors”.


In order to keep the interior walls as original as possible and not to touch them, Kloker also suggested a "box in box system" due to thermal necessity: A partially prefabricated wooden cube is placed in the approximately 55 square meter interior, for which there are many possible uses such as as Tourist information or alternative office for the nearby town hall.

The lighting takes place through the two door openings with inserted filigree steel and glass door elements.

A glass roof is also possible.

The space created as a gallery could be used as an exhibition area, for example for pictures of the Ammersee or historical views of Schondorf.

There are toilets in the train station next to it or in the town hall opposite if you need to do some business.


In keeping with the railway ensemble, Kloker suggested bicycle racks with modern hanging options and a corrugated iron roof, as was once the case with railway outbuildings.

He sees the posts directly behind the gabions.

This ensures the required distance to the tracks and no parking spaces are lost.


In his closing remarks, Andreas Kloker explained his love for the station shed.

In the 1970s he was probably one of the last to have 300 hundredweight of powdered clay delivered to Schondorf from the Westerwald in a goods wagon.


Mayor Alexander Herrmann would like to give final advice on the Kloker concept in one of the next council meetings.

He said an 80 percent subsidy from urban development funding would be possible.
