Bad Wiessee – Despite improvements, the planned construction of a staff residence on Bergerweg in Bad Wiessee was again not approved by the building committee.

As early as May of this year, the building committee of the municipality of Bad Wiessee dealt with the planned construction of an employee residence on Bergerweg.

The project was rejected in the first round.

The committee had complained about the insufficient number of parking spaces, which was justified by a mobility concept.

This, in turn, was judged by the building administration to be much too brief and not very meaningful.

There had also been criticism visually.

For example, planned external stairs that would protrude well beyond the depth of the canopies were rejected by the building authority and the building committee.

Despite improvements, the project was again not approved.

The client responded to the suggestions and revised the plans.

The stairs were moved inside.

Work was also done on the design, which was previously felt to be "uniform" and inappropriate for the surrounding buildings, as Anton Bammer, head of the building authority, explained.

In addition, the parking problem was solved.

Instead of the 18 parking spaces originally planned in combination with a mobility concept, 30 parking spaces are now to be created, which corresponds to the number required according to the parking space statute.

Duplex parkers should also be used, said the head of the building authority.

Greening and “digging in” parking spaces

Otherwise, the plan remains largely unchanged.

After demolition of the existing building on the property, the dormitory is to be built with a size of a good 26 by 13 meters, with an eaves height from the mountain side, i.e. to the east, five and a half meters and to the west 8.7 meters.

The building will have 36 rooms with a total of 47 beds.

Four one-bed rooms in the basement are to be illuminated via atriums, which seems necessary due to the slope of the site.

This should also benefit the appearance of the parking lot, as explained by the head of the building authority, Bammer.

It is planned to green some of the parking spaces and to “dig” them into the slope.

In view of the topography, this is a good and quite justifiable solution, as the parking spaces would hardly be visible, Bammer judged.

On the part of the building administration, the revised version of the project was assessed as thoroughly appealing and approvable.

"Of course, other requirements apply here than in a high-quality residential area," Bammer admitted.

However, the voices in the subsequent discussion were not unreservedly positive.

Peter Kathan (CSU) found that the creative aha effect did not materialize despite the disappearance of the external stairs.

You should also make sure that the balconies are made of wood.

Group colleague Florian Sareiter spoke out against the installation of light trenches.

If these were approved in the present case, a reference case would be created.

He was also critical of the parking lot regulations.

If the newly drafted parking space statute for staff houses would not take effect, the cars would be parked in the sensitive area on the street.

Five residential units less might have been a good solution, he pointed out.

Johannes von Miller (Greens) rated the lack of an underground car park as a big plus.

Nevertheless, he warned that the nevertheless massive sealing should be counteracted by prescribing permeable pavement for the driveway and parking spaces.

Kurt Sareiter (CSU) feared that 30 parking spaces would not be enough and referred to the lack of parking space that residents of Bergerweg have been suffering from for a long time.

The motion was ultimately rejected by a narrow margin of 4:4 votes.
