Realschule Gauting: The SPD wants to alleviate a lack of space that supposedly does not exist.

The council recently discussed this.

Gauting - The SPD failed in the most recent municipal council meeting with the application to eliminate the - real or alleged - lack of space in the secondary school on Birkenstrasse with containers.

No other faction joined the motion, on the contrary.

The word "window application" was mentioned, and at the request of Franz Jaquet (CSU), the list of speakers was even closed because nobody was interested in discussing it anymore.

As local councilor Eberhard Brucker (SPD) explained, "the secondary school is bursting at the seams".

It was once built for 28 classes and 850 students.

"Meanwhile, 1,000 students in 35 classes attend the school." The situation is such that four alternative rooms - a biology room, a drawing room and the library - have to be used as classrooms.

It wouldn't be long before students had to be turned away.

That is why Gauting should “set an example”.

This would be all the more important as 400 students from Gauting.

Mayor Dr.

Brigitte Kössinger, as chairwoman of the responsible “Zweckverband Staatliche Würmtal-Realschule”, should work to ensure that the space shortage is alleviated by renting containers.

Containers are available, the 10,000 euros rent per year "an insignificant amount".

Brucker was met with the ire of the panel.

Education officer Britta Hundesrügge (FDP) said: "The application probably comes out of cold pants." There could be "by no means" talk of a lack of space, the application shows a completely distorted picture.

On the contrary, the Realschule is a "flagship project".

Maximilian Platzer (CSU) was also upset.

"The numbers were wrong back and forth," he said.

The SPD would have better saved themselves this “shop window application”.

dr

Jürgen Sklarek (Together - For Each Other) assured: "The students don't feel that way." And in general the solution, if it is needed at all, is not as cheap as shown, because: "After all, containers have to be serviced." Objections also came from Axel Höpner (MfG/Pirates), whose daughter attends the school: "When such an application comes from outside, it's irritating."

Even the mayor was surprised.

"There was never any mention of containers in the association," she said.

This consists of the districts of Starnberg and Munich as well as the municipalities of Gauting, Krailling, Pöcking, Gräfelfing, Planegg, Neurieder and the city of Starnberg.

Stefan Frey (Starnberg) and Christoph Göbel (Munich).

The same applies to a new building that Brucker had talked about.

"I can't understand that with the best will in the world." vu
