The building committee of the Wolfratshausen city council has paved the way for a new nursing home.

Now it's the turn of the district building authority.

Wolfratshausen – The entrepreneurs Christoph Marklstorfer and Jakob Rottmann have made repeated attempts to be allowed to build on their property on Geltinger Straße.

In the most recent meeting of the city council's building committee, they were able to book a partial success: six out of ten committee members approved the application for preliminary approval for the construction of a nursing home for the elderly.

The district building authority has the next word.

As early as autumn last year, the Marklstorfer/Rottmann duo submitted plans to the building committee for a retirement home on the site between the Müller dance school and the Ehlers publishing house building.

As reported, the committee rejected the project because it was too massive with five storeys.

A concept for an overnight stay, in addition to an inn and a cultural stage, also fell through with the city councillors.

Now the entrepreneurs have taken a new step – they had enclosed an extensive catalog of questions with their application for a preliminary decision for the “new construction of a building with health and/or social purposes and/or an accommodation facility”.

Among other things, the applicants wanted to know whether a “boarding house” was permitted on the property – or a center for outpatient operations plus medical practices or a “night care facility”.

Many members of the technical committee were irritated to annoyed.

"The applicants are not lay people," said Josef Praller, spokesman for the Wolfratshausen Citizens' Association (BVW), with a view to the catalog of questions.

After all, Marklstorfer is an architect.

"The development plan states exactly what is possible and what is not," Praller stated.

An example: "A pure medical center does not correspond to the development plan." On the other hand, for him "it is not clear what is to be built there".

The applicants had submitted "only a dry DIN A-3 sheet".

In general, the BVW parliamentary group leader was surprised at the "flood of preliminary decision requests" that Marklstorfer and Rottmann had made in the past two years.

Mayor: There is still no operating description for the old people's home

"Yes, there is no operational description" for the projected nursing home, stated Mayor Klaus Heilinglechner (BVW).

Nevertheless, the majority of the panel voted to give a positive answer to the application for a preliminary decision.

"We urgently need such facilities," said Fritz Schnalder (SPD), who for this reason overlooked the fact that "there is still no precise description of the operation."

"We can now agree and then wait for the result of the examination by the district building authority."

Can Geltinger Straße cope with the increased volume of traffic?

The expert committee rejected all other applications for preliminary decisions.

There will be neither a boarding house nor day, night or short-term care nor an outpatient surgery center with medical practices on Geltinger Strasse.

In addition, the committee said no to the application to create the garage entrance for the nursing home outside of the property owned by Marklstorfer/Rottmann.
