District – Gabriele Triebel, who has been a member of the Greens in the state parliament for four years, would like to apply for re-election next year.

The Kauferinger still has a lot planned, as she explained at a press conference in the Green voting group office in Landsberg.

Education, the expansion of the S4, a culture of remembrance and - as a special heartfelt topic - the future of the Lech are priorities that the 61-year-old would like to pursue in the coming legislative period.

"We have to bring the schools up to date and enable more individual learning," demands Triebel, who herself worked as a teacher for around 30 years.

Educational success in Bavaria still depends too much on the parental home.

Disadvantages could be compensated for and more social justice created through high-quality all-day offers.

Triebel assumes that in 2026, when the legal entitlement to all-day care for primary school children will come into force, demand will be 80 percent.

A start must already be made to build up a sufficient number of teachers and support staff.

The fact that a new training as a specialist for all-day care is still almost unknown must change.

"We need an offensive for this," demands the Green politician.

In addition to education, the Lech is at the top of Triebel's agenda.

The former wild river, today "the most built-up river in Germany", must be restored to its natural state, at least in part, for example by creating bypasses.

The great opportunity for this will come with the abolition of power plant concessions from 2034. "The energy supply must be placed in municipal hands," says the 61-year-old.

The profits from hydropower could then be used to finance renaturation projects.

"We need hydropower, but not at any price," says Triebel.

She is also interested in the seemingly peripheral issues of religion and culture of remembrance.

On the one hand, dialogue and exchange between religions should be promoted.

On the other hand, Triebel wants to take a close look at the role of the state in clarifying the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, since the authorities have apparently been "biting inhibitions" towards the Church for a long time.

A contact point for victims and networks to therapists and advice centers are also needed.

The four-track expansion of the S4 between Pasing and Eichenau remains a major topic.

This must be implemented promptly.

The "widening of the bottleneck" will also have a positive effect on the rail connections in the district.

In terms of culture of remembrance, Triebel is striving to further develop the former concentration camp subcamp VII.

A documentary center with an exhibition room, archive, seminar rooms and sanitary facilities is to be built there.

"And that's up to the Free State." Triebel considers the completion of a scientific concept for the project to be a great success - an important building block for receiving federal grants.

Triebel announced that the concept will be exhibited in the Landsberger Klostereck in November.

Gabriele Triebel does not share this concern that this could lead to overlaps in content with the newly designed city museum.

“Each institution has its own justification.” Camp VII as the original location becomes all the more important the fewer contemporary witnesses there are.

The story of the almost purely Jewish camp to which people from the Kaunas ghetto were deported had "never been told like this before".
