Warngau: "Opportunity to create affordable housing"

A builder wants to build four apartment buildings with 30 rental apartments in Oberwarngau on Angerweg.

The Warngau municipal council has postponed the decision: He only wants to be in isolation.

Warngau

– There is a lot going on in Oberwarngau – the key word is densification.

Now there are plans for a development in the southern area of ​​the square between Angerweg, Taubenbergstraße and Ranhartweg: the developer has submitted a preliminary building application for four apartment buildings.

The municipal council first wants to go into seclusion in order to define how Oberwarngau should develop.

The Angerweg 19 property is intended to make room for more living space: 30 residential units, spread over four apartment buildings arranged like a windmill, could be built instead.

A preliminary building inquiry is intended to find out whether the authorities on the area, which is in the inner area according to planning law, would generally give such a project the green light.

Architect Johannes Wegmann from Schliersee presented what the planning should look like to the local council on Tuesday.

The builders are explicitly not planning four or five single-family houses that seal a lot of space for a few residents, but a residential area: "The target group are people who live in 50 to 80 square meters in a reasonable price range," emphasized Wegmann - and also that these are rental apartments should and not about condominiums, which again attract second-home owners or foreign investors.

It would be possible, for example, to agree on a primary residence in an urban development contract, explained Wegmann.

30 rental apartments in four buildings

The rental apartments – 30 percent of them with social price control – are to be accommodated in four new buildings, which are arranged like a windmill between Angerweg in the west, the property at Taubenbergstraße 3 in the south and the property at Taubenbergstraße 3b in the east.

The center of the garden is a community space – which type is still open.

Visually, "the wheel should not be reinvented".

Planned are classic gable roof buildings "from the agricultural tradition" with balconies and partial wooden paneling, with two full floors and partially with a converted attic.

The old tree population at the mouth of the Angerweg remains untouched.

A chance for affordable housing

Most of the parking spaces are to disappear into an underground car park, which offers 41 parking spaces and is to be accessed via Angerweg on the north-west corner of the area.

A breakthrough is planned to the east of Taubenbergstrasse 3.

A further 20 parking spaces are to be created above ground.

Mayor Klaus Thurnhuber (FWG) saw the planning as an "opportunity to create affordable rental apartments in the community".

In view of the scope, however, he suggested that the municipal council postpone the decision on the preliminary building application and deal with it in a meeting on the subject of internal development that was planned in the near future anyway - a suggestion that the municipal council unanimously accepted.

Especially since there is still more going on in the corner: As is well known, the municipality also has residential property in the neighborhood with the “Angerweg Nord” development plan.

"It has consequences"

Max Bauer (FWG) also called for detailed advice: "We would create a lot of living space here - that triggers something," he warned of the consequences for childcare, for example, and asked: "Do we want that, do we need that?" the project also Engelfried Beilhack (CSU).

"In terms of compression, I don't like it at all.

That comes right after Tegernsee.” What was meant was the densely built-up “Quartier Tegernsee” on the former hospital site (we reported).

The comparison makes him sad, said Wegmann and protested: "We're talking about two and a half floors here, Tegernsee has five to six."

Hans Gillhuber appealed to consider whether the Angerweg would provide this as an access road, and Florian Rank (FWG) pointed out that the municipal design statutes also require one visitor parking space for every four residential units.

Rank also recalled: "During the election campaign, we all said that we had to create something for our people."

Michael Spannring (Greens) therefore found the project fundamentally “interesting” for the community: “We have a shortage of such apartments in Warngau.” He described his own situation: “We built a relatively large building eight years ago, now the children are slowly going away and there are two of us living in the big house, which is kind of crazy," he said.

"Houses should be available for families with children and not for old people who lose themselves in them."
