Deutsche Bahn (DB) AG wants to rebuild three level crossings in the Sauerlach municipality or close them completely for traffic.

The group recently announced this to the municipality.

Sauerlach

- According to DB information, the restricted systems in the Deisenhofener Forst and in the districts of Lochhofen and Arget all have one thing in common: their technology is outdated, there are no new spare parts and the operating costs are quite high.

That's why they are prone to failure, and security can no longer be guaranteed there, they say.

Although the local railway company offers alternatives, the Sauerlach town hall definitely wants to keep the Kleefeldstrasse level crossing.

"After all, the sports center of SV Arget is on the other side of the tracks," emphasizes managing director Norbert Hohenleitner.

Underpass conceivable

At the level crossing "Königs Geäumt" in the forest, the railways proposes expanding this and building a railway underpass.

Alternatively, it should no longer be possible to get through there and an existing underpass further south should be extended without height.

According to the DB, the level crossing on Urspringerstraße in the district of Arget as well as said crossing at the sports facility of SV Arget near Lochhofen should be completely closed to traffic, pedestrians and cyclists.

As a replacement for the level crossing on Urspringerstraße with barriers, a height-free underpass for all road users is to be built about 150 meters to the south.

An underpass for pedestrians and cyclists is to be built at the level of the sports center for the closed crossing at Kleefeldstrasse.

Detour to the gym

In addition, the underpass on Hartstallstraße near Grafing and the Otterfinger Weg between Grafing and Lochhofen could be expanded in such a way that cars - albeit in a roundabout way - could also come across the tracks and to the parking lot of the sports center.

However, according to the Sauerlach municipality, this is not an alternative.

The sports facilities of SV Arget are well frequented, emphasizes Hohenleitner and reminds of the planned expansion of the sports grounds.

“There will certainly not be less traffic in the future,” he says.

Farmers also have to cross the tracks from time to time and need the transition.

In order to make the problems in this area clear to Deutsche Bahn, an on-site visit was recently held.

After this, Hohenleitner is in good spirits that there will be a change in the course: "You know our point of view."
