The municipality of Tutzing cannot complain about work.

Many projects are currently being prepared in the town hall, accompanied or brought to a conclusion this year.

The redevelopment of the through road is the most obvious project, the completion of which many are probably longing for.

The most expensive project is estimated to be the renovation of the middle school and the old elementary school.

Tutzing

- The majority of middle school students have been learning in the Feldafinger barracks since September so that the building in the center of Tutzing can be renovated.

Only the elementary school students are still in Tutzing.

"They are in their wing and very cramped," reports the mayor.

The staff room is now housed in the former student café.

The secretariat alternates between barracks and Tutzing.

In addition to the middle school building, the listed old school is also being renovated.

The school administration is to be accommodated there, the staff room and a computer room.

"The old school will be accessible without barriers, that will be the heart of the school," announces Greinwald.

The after-school care center that used to be there is now in the teachers' building next door.

The big construction site hasn't started yet.

The municipality expects costs of 25 million euros for the work, which includes the construction of a new canteen for the whole school, an auditorium and a gabled roof for the middle school building.

Greinwald estimates that after deducting the subsidies and contributions from the neighboring communities of Pöcking, Feldafing and Bernried, which also use the school, Tutzing will still have costs of 9 to 10 million euros.

Putting the work on hold, as the district is doing with the high schools due to lack of money, is not a solution for Greinwald.

"You can't stop the project.

We have to get out of the barracks again in 2025.” If no alternative financing is found by 2025, the municipality will have to sell the Kustermannvilla to pay for the school renovation.

Otherwise the district office would not have approved the budget.

“We would like to have a plan B,” says Greinwald.

The villa is currently being used as an exhibition space, later as a co-working space.

Refurbishment of the through road

The renovation of the main street is entering a new phase this year: it is the turn of the particularly sensitive inner-city area.

The community is one of three builders alongside the State Building Authority and the Waste Water Association.

The municipality takes care of drinking water pipes and sidewalks.

Problems have caused the division carriers in the past.

"They botch us up quite a bit," notes Greinwald.

"Sometimes they put traffic lights in the traffic lights - that often gave the impression of chaos." She knows that road rehabilitation is a burden for everyone and continues to ask for patience.

What will happen in the town center is largely certain.

"Swiveling of the lane, parking spaces in bays, as many trees as possible," lists the mayor.

“Bicycle and car traffic have to share a lane – we hope

cellular and fiber optics

The issue of mobile communications and radio masts is heating up again in Tutzing because Telekom wants to build a radio mast in Montaghausen - much to the displeasure of the local residents.

an old problem.

Greinwald sums it up like this: "People want to be taken care of, but at the same time there is a fear of radiation." It is currently questionable whether the mobile communications concept passed by the municipal council is still valid at all.

It provides that the municipality proposes locations to the operators.

It is unclear whether that is possible in the case of Monathausen: "I don't know if we have a better location," says Greinwald.

The fiber optic expansion for high-speed Internet should progress in 2023 - but without "Hello Fiber" (see article below).

It is certain that Telekom wants to expand its network.

The municipality uses a funding program for peripheral districts, as Greinwald says.

"We're contributing more than 100,000 euros for this." According to Greinwald, fiber optics are planned for Deixlfurt, Ilkahöhe, Rößlberg, Neuseeheim and Obertraubing.

In the course of this, the whole town is to be supplied, although she does not expect the streets to be torn up everywhere.

“Telekom has already laid some of the fiber optics up to the distribution boxes.

It's still a matter of connecting the houses." In the south, empty pipes have been laid that Telekom can use.

Integrated concept for urban development

In 2023 Tutzing tackles the process for the ISEK, for the integrated urban development concept.

It is a prerequisite for funds from urban development funding.

They are currently looking for an office to accompany the process by means of a call for tenders.

The public's opinion is also important.

In what form is still unclear.

Specifically, it is about the area between the railway and the lake.

"But the entire municipal area is also included in the study," says Greinwald.

The process is intended to help Tutzing to highlight its strengths and overcome weaknesses.

Overall, the place should become more livable.

Greinwald imagines that urban development funds could flow, for example, for the square that will be created on Marienstraße, at the town hall or on Thomaplatz.

Climate protection and climate neutrality

When it comes to climate protection, Tutzing is on the right track, says Greinwald.

"We were lucky enough to be able to join the Oberland energy efficiency plant - they are already further along than we are in the district with the energy agency." The network supports the community, for example, in converting the middle school's gas heating with a modern energy and heating concept.

"We then heat with a heat pump." The Tutzing climate-neutral initiative also receives a lot of praise from the mayor.

She is on the steering committee and is hoping for even more support from the public.

"It is incredibly important that the citizens participate - the municipality cannot manage the energy transition by 2035 alone." Since wind energy can hardly be used in Tutzing, more photovoltaic systems are needed, also and above all on private roofs.

And also in open spaces, but they are not easy to find.

In this context, Greinwald would like the municipal council to adopt a common good or sustainability resolution: "That we question everything we do in terms of the common good principle."
