The BR magazine "quer" reports on the illegal buildings in Weidach.

The community day criticizes builders throughout Bavaria.

Wolfratshausen – The three illegal buildings in Weidach are – at least according to the Bavarian Radio – more than just three illegal buildings in Weidach.

The magazine "quer" sees nothing less than the end of a Bavarian tradition in the discussion about the demolition of the single-family houses.

"The building permit is more of a recommendation for quite a few builders and ladies," introduces moderator Christoph Süss - and adds: "been".

Because in the meantime the authorities would "take tough action" - see Weidach.

Black buildings in Wolfratshausen: district administrator talks about demolition in BR – “hurts in the soul”

As reported, there is a threat of a demolition order for the houses on the Isarspitz.

A street poll by the magazine shows opinions differ on this.

“Personally, I would like an example to be set,” says one woman.

"I don't believe in demolishing them," says an elderly gentleman.

District Administrator Josef Niedermaier explained the decision to the BR as follows: “We don’t have much room for maneuver there.

There is the possibility to remove the houses voluntarily.

If that doesn't happen, the next steps will take effect." So a "formal removal order".

According to the Bavarian Administrative Court, this is legal.

"quer" asks whether the deviations from the building permit for the Weidacher buildings - "30 centimeters too high, the roof a few degrees too flat" - represent such a serious violation as to justify a demolition.

"You've already seen brazen clandestine constructions in this country." The BR magazine refers to several cases: Wiesn host Manfred Vollmer built a hut in Pfaffenwinkel without permission, Miesbach's ex-district administrator Jakob Kreidl did not stick to the plans, and built in Ergolding near Landshut a former councilwoman black.

“The problem is the developers”: community day expresses criticism

Wilfried Schober, Director of the Bavarian Association of Towns and Municipalities, sees a fundamental problem.

It is no longer common for property developers to obtain prior approval.

"The problem is the property developers, who have such great economic power that they say: 'I decide'." The municipality can create the basis, but the property developers would understand this "at best" as a basis for discussion.

They "price corresponding fines or subsequent changes in the purchase price".

Wolfratshauser Black Buildings: Petition Committee is on the side of the District Office

In Wolfratshausen - as reported by "quer" - this game would no longer be played.

"It's also about an example," says the magazine.

As reported, the Petitions Committee finally reaffirmed the district office's right, although many decision-makers had mixed feelings about it.

District Administrator Niedermaier feels the same way: “It hurts my soul that this is value destruction.

But granting someone the right to build, which he buys with money that someone else doesn't get?

Excuse me.

That's not possible.” As reported, the client now has a one-year grace period – then the illegal buildings have to be demolished.
