A nasty surprise for the residents of a high-rise settlement in Gröbenzell: Suddenly they had a note on their car window informing them that the previously completely free parking space now costs 40 euros a month.

Behind it is the business model of a Munich company.

Gröbenzell – Richard Böhm has a few questions to answer right now.

A few weeks ago, his Munich company bought a Gröbenzell property at auction.

There are around 46 parking spaces on it, which everyone has been able to use so far.

For example, the employees and visitors of the elementary school opposite or participants in sports courses in the gym, but also the residents of the so-called Wagner high-rise buildings.

So far, a parking disc was not even required, everyone was allowed on the area, with mopeds, trailers, cars and so on.

From now on, the parking space costs 40 euros per month.

"The offer is primarily aimed at the residents of the high-rise buildings," explains Böhm.

complex content

It has so far been difficult to find out from the official side exactly how this change, which surprised many, came about.

The municipality of Gröbenzell speaks of a complex content and is still checking before it wants to make a statement.

It is very likely that the property came into the possession of the Free State after insolvency.

He then resold it at a foreclosure auction.

At least that's how the current owner, Richard Böhm, describes it when local residents ask him.

To recoup the investment, the company has to charge drivers a fee.

For information, the "Böhm & Böhm Immobilien GmbH" has hung a note on the windshield of the cars.

Here you can read that the parking spaces are now in private hands.

And that you have to rent a parking space if you want to keep using it.

controls are probably necessary

Then there is an official plate on which the license plate number for the respective car is printed.

“We have other properties, and it works very well there.

Hardly anyone else stands there,” reports Böhm.

But checks will probably still be necessary.

However, according to the Munich businessman, there was no great outcry among the residents.

One resident was "a little upset".

But half of the parking spaces are already rented.

Dissatisfaction with the municipality or the Free State

However: "The resentment is directed less against us than, for example, against the Free State or the municipality." Many wonder how it can be that the publicly usable land, to which everyone had become accustomed, now ends up in private hands, and this time this is also noticeable through the rental fees.

Or, for example, why didn't the municipality purchase the parking spaces.

The Gröbenzell housing and social officer Peter Falk (SPD) even speaks of a “quasi-public transport reason” in an open letter.

He now wants some answers from City Hall.

For example, to the question: "Why was the matter shielded from the municipal council?"
