FBB local councilor Johann Ritzer described the decision to expand the sports area on Schorn in Inning as a "bitter pill" at the most recent local council meeting.

He had voted in favor of it, ending any possibility of a bypass, as the route still envisaged in the zoning plan runs right there.

"It's not easy for me," he had said.

Now the Pro Inning association, which has been committed to a bypass since 2014, has also given up.

At the annual meeting on Thursday, those present agreed to dissolve the association.

But the initiative should remain.

Inning

- Herbert Klausnitzer has served as Pro Inning's chairman since its inception in 2014.

The Inninger is 74 years old and said two years ago that he would like to give up the presidency.

When once again no one was found as a successor and the planning of the sports field made it impossible to achieve the “statutory objectives”, the members decided to dissolve the association.

"I submitted the documents to the notary today," said Klausnitzer yesterday in an interview with Starnberger Merkur.

Most recently, the association had 54 members.

Councilor Ritzer was one of them.

Pro Inning has been fighting for a bypass since 2014, and the association initiated the most recent of the two referendums on this subject – and failed.

But the route remained.

In 2019, the municipal council voted against the removal from the land use plan with a narrow majority of one vote.

Klausnitzer meticulously summarized the chronology on the club's website.

This page, he says, should be preserved for posterity.

There, as well as at the annual meeting, Klausnitzer recorded the introduction of 30 km/h on the local through-road for Pro Inning, because it was the association that advised legal assistance in connection with the noise action plan.

That's no reason to jump in the air, but he does feel "a little satisfaction," says Klausnitzer.

In a press release on the dissolution of the association, he writes: "What remains is the traffic on the through road, a little slower, but longer in town." After all, Inning could now swing up as a pioneer for 30 km/h on state roads in town.

But that was it.

The sports field planning is only the starting signal for the expansion of the commuter belt around Munich, to which Inning now belongs.

"Against this background, those who voted with full conviction for nature and the environment and against the bypass must ask themselves whether they weren't after the false prophets after all... Once everything is built up and sealed and we even more traffic in the area, some may trickle down to the realization that their decision has achieved the exact opposite of what
