The directly adjacent "Krempels" building would be ideal for the urgently needed town hall extension in Dießen.

The municipal council decided to carry out a feasibility study.

Dießen – The fact that an increased need for staff does not necessarily have to go hand in hand with more office space was discussed at the last meeting of the Dießen municipal council.

The program item, which was moved from the non-public to the public part at the request of Johannes Wernseher (CSU), dealt with the planned expansion of the town hall.

Mayor Sandra Perzul and Managing Director Karl Heinz Springer don't want to miss the opportunity to include the directly adjacent property at Prinz-Ludwig-Strasse 2 in the administration.

Especially since it is owned by the market town.

As reported, the previous tenant Guido Webert has already moved out with his antique treasure trove "Krempels".

Now the administration would like to have it examined to what extent the building can be integrated into the town hall complex.

To do this, the building fabric must first be checked with a cost estimate and whether a direct and barrier-free transition to the main building of the town hall can be created with renovation and conversion.

If the building fabric of the former Kessler butcher's shop is classified as insufficient, demolition and a new extension would also be an option, says Karl Heinz Springer in an earlier conversation with KREISBOTEN: "The reason for all sorts of mind games is the fact that we in the town hall are acutely suffer from lack of space.”

The caretaker's apartment on the top floor of the new town hall building has already been converted into an office for two employees and a new social room.

The original social room on the first floor was also converted into an office.

According to Karl Heinz Springer, this exhausts the possibilities.

Since the building administration will soon be increased by two urgently needed positions and there will probably be further staffing requirements, there is a need for action.

Until a final decision is made about the further use of the "Krempels" building, there are even plans to outsource offices to the "Blue House" or even rent them from third parties.

With regard to the possibility of home office and part-time work already practiced in the town hall, municipal councilor Petra Sander (non-attached) emphasized that not every new employee needs their own desk.

You can also follow the desk-sharing trend, where you share a desk with colleagues.

The proposed resolution to commission a specialist office with a room and personnel analysis was not approved by the councils for cost reasons.

However, the feasibility study for the suitability of the "Krempel" building as a town hall extension was approved with a vote of 22:1.

As long as this is not done, the building, individual rooms or the holiday apartment on the upper floor can be rented to third parties at short notice.
