After the end of the earth pool heat storage tank in Martinsrieder Feld, Planegg's mayor, Hermann Nafziger, hopes "that the topic has finally been eaten up".
The opposite is the case: the heat network Würmtal-Nord initiative group is harsh on him.
Würmtal
– The heat network Würmtal-Nord initiative group has published a position paper on the gravel pit in Martinsrieder Feld.
It is signed by the three Gräfelfingen Greens Joachim Bender, Martin Feldner and Professor Gerhard Mengedoht as well as the two members of the Planegger Green Group 21 (gG21), Angelika Lawo and Herbert Stepp.
In it they hold Planegg's mayor Hermann Nafziger responsible for the end of the vision of Europe's largest ground-based heat storage tank in the gravel pit in Martinsrieder Feld.
threaten penalties
By autumn 2020, Bernhard Glück Kies-Sand-Hartsteinsplitt GmbH had quarried a total of 700,000 tonnes of gravel on an area of 5.84 hectares between Martinsried and Graefelfing.
The municipality of Planegg had the company Glück additionally secure the date set by the district office as the approval authority by which the pit must be backfilled in a private-law contract – reinforced with high fines in the event of delay.
The Gräfelfinger Grünen and the Planegger Grüne Gruppe 21 then initiated a feasibility study for an earth tank heat storage tank in the gravel pit.
At the end of October 2020, Planegg withdrew from the joint inter-municipal project - but luckily put the contract on hold for two years.
Gräfelfing decided to have the feasibility study carried out on its own.
However, the Glück company will continue to backfill the gravel pit from January 9 because they do not want to risk the fine.
Graefelfing's Mayor Peter Köstler had previously tried in vain to get everyone involved at a round table.
He finally said last week when asked: "The lack of interest in this project by the municipality of Planegg was one of the main reasons for the failure."
Nafziger no longer wants to comment
Nafziger emphasized in the Planegger municipal council last Thursday: "Planegg is in no way responsible for the failure.
I hope this finally gets into your head.
This is the last time I will comment on this topic.”
In July, Florian Großelfinger (CSU) declared in the committee: "The decisive thing is that we Planegger don't want to sabotage a Graefelfing project." to have Planegger variables expanded.
It was like getting back into the project.
To date, Nafziger has not placed the order for this.
At the end of November, according to the position paper of the initiative group, the Planegger municipal council again "decided with a very large majority not to stand in the way of the Gräfelfingen project".
The following day, the Graefelfing municipal council unanimously decided "to ask the municipality of Planegg to lift the obligation to backfill the pit, which existed under a private contract, very promptly".
"Missed Chance"
The position paper goes on to say: "Despite these two decisions, Planegg's mayor, Hermann Nafziger, will continue to uphold the compulsory contract, which is reinforced with high penalties, for the backfilling of this pit, which is located exclusively in Gräfelfingen.
He can no longer prove Planegger's interests in this regard, since the construction of a Planegger western bypass around Martinsried is possible at any time after partial filling." .

Angelika Lawo, gG21 councilor in Planegg, said in an interview with Merkur: "I think we're missing an opportunity.
The energy and heat transition does not work without storage.
This is a waste of resources.
From my point of view, Mr. Nafziger put Planegg in a very bad situation.
If we want a heating network, we won't be partners, just customers of Gauting or Gräfelfing."
