Stadtwerke München would like to check whether a geothermal well near Egling makes sense.
A representative of the company now had to face the critical questions of the municipal council.
Egling - A few weeks ago, the Egling municipal council of Stadtwerke München GmbH (SWM) gave a basket.
As reported, the supplier wants to sound out parts of the Eglinger municipal area that are in the “Dingharting-Attenham field” to see whether geothermal drilling makes sense there.
Many local councilors were not happy about this.
In the session before the Christmas break, Dr.
Dietfried Bruss from Stadtwerke gave the committee the exact plans.
Geothermal drilling near Egling?
New projects planned around Munich
According to Bruss, a third of Munich households are connected to district heating, and many more are expected to do so.
According to Bruss, new geothermal projects are planned in and around Munich, including in the “Dingharting-Attenham” field, from where as much heat as possible is to be transported towards Munich.
In order to find out what potential lies dormant at a depth of 4,000 meters, a high-resolution 3D model is to be created.
By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Wolfratshausen-Geretsried newsletter.
So-called vibro trucks are used for this.
These special vehicles send sound waves down into the depths, where they are reflected differently by the different layers of rock underground.
These waves are picked up by highly sensitive earth microphones that are laid out along measuring lines.
The truck stops at a stimulus point every 10 to 15 meters and then moves on.
During the session, there were many questions, mostly critical ones, about possible impacts on the environment, damage to buildings and earthquakes.

Jakob Bernlochner (free voters) inquired about the benefits for the community of Egling.
Because the project is primarily about supplying the people of Munich with geothermal energy.
"The country has to pay for everything," commented Peter Lichtenegger (CSU), somewhat exaggerated.

Specifically, Bernlochner wanted to know whether the results of the seismic investigations could be made available to the municipality and its citizens.
Geothermal energy is an issue in private house construction.
Bruss replied that the findings will be made available to the State Office for the Environment.
But the data is not very meaningful for near-surface geothermal energy.
The geologist brought up a connection to a district heating network as a possible advantage for Egling.

Michael Neubauer (CSU) said that he did not want to expect any community citizens to carry out the loud and vibrating investigations.
He spoke from experience: in 2012, parts of the community were scrutinized for a geothermal project.
The vehicles pulled up to his house, although they were told they would keep a distance of 50 meters.
"The whole floor is vibrating," said Neubauer.
A decision on the application by the Munich municipal utility is still pending.
If the committee gives its approval, it will still take some time before the trucks roll through Egling: the investigation is not planned for six to eight years.
