The citizens' meeting in Pullach also dealt with a bike workshop for refugees, the station building and bike paths that were too narrow.
But above all, the community center was about the local chemical company, about United Initiators and their conversion and expansion plans.
Pullach
– Second Mayor Andreas Most (Pullach Plus), who represented the sick town hall boss Susanna Millennium (Greens) that evening, had treated the whole thing in his statement of accounts as just one point among many.
"Big Wings", as the project is called within the company, "of course stirs the spirits", he said, the project serves to "improve the logistics" on site.
As part of the building management procedure, which the municipality of Pullach only initiated in order to be able to have a say in the redesign of the huge company site, the new development plans are being publicly displayed again, and the urban development contract negotiated at the same time will be presented to the municipal council in July.
Lots of requests but discussion is all about United
And the unusually large number of questions that had been sent in writing to the town hall in the run-up to the town hall meeting often dealt with other issues.
With too many cigarette butts on Pullach's streets, with the noise protection wall on the B 11, which not everyone likes, with energy prices that will also rise on the left bank of the Isar, geothermal energy or not.
But the discussion that followed soon turned exclusively to the chemical company in Höllriegelskreuth, which has been based there for over 100 years, but whose existence, one gets the impression, some people have only just noticed.
It was asked whether United was not messing up the community's CO2 balance sheet, whether the sensitive Isarhang springs, which the company was allowed to tap for cooling purposes, were needed much more urgently.
Peter Kloeber from Agenda 21, which wants to support the second citizens' initiative by the citizens' initiative "Protection of the Isar Valley" against Big Wings, complained that the company had removed too many trees in its own grove when clearing the tracks of the S-Bahn.
Citizen fears dangerous goods traffic
This showed once again that it is not so easy to dispel the concerns that some Pullach residents have with regard to the company.
After Most had explained to a woman that "Big Wings" would contribute to a reduction in the transport of dangerous goods to and from Höllriegelskreuth, the person concerned replied: "I'm still afraid of more dangerous goods traffic." that she is slowly getting tired of emphasizing again and again that the question of the permissible production volume cannot be negotiated in land use planning.
Andreas Most was also a bit tired of the ongoing debate, which doesn't move.
He said at the end: "I am convinced that the municipal council is doing its job well."
But on the other hand, it's really not clear how much United wants to produce in Pullach in the future.
And whether United will be able to produce more peroxides with “Big Wings”.
The current figure is 60,000 tons, but the company says 136,000 tons have been approved - which Agenda 21 denies.
Worry about harm to citizens
At the end, one visitor said: "I'm worried that something will happen there that could harm us." More production is simply not good.
Regarding United, she went on to say the community is taking a defensive stance, "it's an uncomfortable direction."
That's exactly what local councilor Michael Reich from the FDP had said shortly before to the Pullach residents: It wasn't Most's job to explain the company's plans.
"If we do that, we fall into a trap."
