The industrial area at the KSC-Sportpark is to become a campus for everyone, home to a mix of business, living and leisure.

Now the owners have presented their vision for the area.

Kirchheim – Opposite the Kirchheimer SC sports field is a previously inaccessible industrial area.

That is about to change: The property owners want to transform the area between Überrheiner-, Merowinger-, Florian- and Oskar-von-Miller-Straße into a green quarter for working and living.

During a tour, they presented their vision of the "Campus Kirchheim".

Felix and his cousin Quirin Radmer are the descendants of the "Radmer-Bau" company, which was sold to the "Porr" company 30 years ago.

“We manufactured precast concrete parts here for the Olympic Village in Munich 50 years ago,” says Felix Radmer.

Since then, these have been manufactured in the striking shed roof hall with its many spikes.

"Now a new, green and mixed commercial, residential and leisure area is being created for all Kirchheimers."

The Radmers own the property west of Überrheinerstrasse and Merowinger Strasse.

With the Hacker and Hiltmair/Schüchl families, who in turn own the commercial area to the east of the streets mentioned and where living space for around 500 people is to be built, the closed and almost completely concreted-over area is to be opened up to everyone.

Green areas are to be created here, 230 trees are being planted for this purpose, play and leisure opportunities are being created for all age groups and, above all, the concrete surfaces are to be unsealed.

The "Campus Kirchheim" will be created on a total of around 73,000 square meters.

According to Mayor Maximilian Böltl (CSU), "not just a normal commercial area, but something special for all Kirchheimers and a much-needed vitamin injection for the town center".

“Not just another commercial area”: Christian Bitter (Stattbau München), PR consultant Daniel Schreyer, architect Johannes Ernst and landscape planner Stefanie Jühling (bottom left, from left) presented the planning during a tour.

Responsible for many of the ideas on the site is Johannes Ernst from "Steidle Architekten" in Munich, who also helped design the "Werksviertel" at the Ostbahnhof.

"The striking shed roof hall will remain as a central element, around which we will develop a quarter for work, living and leisure," said Ernst.

Today's heavy goods traffic will no longer exist, it will be replaced by fine manufactories, offices and small workshops.

There is also a two-story Lidl supermarket and an Edeka.

And the living room?

"People don't live on the ground floor with plastic toys in the front yard, they work there," reported Ernst.

"And upstairs on the first or second floor, apartments are being built." Above all, construction is sustainable and durable, and it doesn't have to be all made of wood.

Landscape planner Stefanie Jühling emphasized how important it is to her to preserve the green areas and plants that have worked their way through the concrete, which are rather sparse today.

"But of course we will create large green areas, not a designer playground, but areas for all generations." The current crane system is to be retained - for climbing, swinging or other activities.

Past and future.

Christian Bitter from the "Stattbau Munich" office explained the planned mobility concept.

"Here, nobody should want to drive a car, but bikes, cargo bikes, scooters." There will be no thoroughfares, the motto is: short distances to work, for shopping and for sports.

There is also an e-charging infrastructure and good public transport connections.

Ernst Hausladen from the engineering office of the same name in Kirchheim emphasized that the goal is a climate-neutral site that generates all the energy it consumes on the roofs and facades itself.

“It was clear to us from the start that we wanted something unique here that would be built upwards.

Not a commercial area on a green field, but the use of today's industrial areas - but then for all citizens," said Böltl.

As soon as the municipal council has given its approval to the plans, the owners want to get neighbors and citizens on board.

If everything goes well, construction could start in early summer 2023.

Felix Radmer did not reveal what the campus will cost.
