Something is moving in terms of mobile communications.

After the excitement about a planned 40-meter mast in a very exposed location in Hechendorf, an alternative location is now coming into focus.

On Tuesday, April 4th, the Murnau market council will meet for a special session.

Hechendorf

– Vantage Towers is one of the largest operators of transmission towers in Europe.

"In Germany we have 20,000 masts," says spokesman Robin Hagenmüller.

One is to be added in the foreseeable future in the south of Murnau.

But the planned location at the Wascherfeld in the district of Hechendorf met with resistance.

The 40 meter high steel lattice tower would be in a very exposed position.

The Murnau market has also been criticized.

He entered the dialogue process with Vodafone.

But the deadline for naming suitable plots of land could not be met, it said.

The municipality did not apply for an extension of the deadline.

The excitement in Hechendorf is great.

But now things are moving.

According to information from the Tagblatt, there is a potential alternative location near the small animal breeder's premises.

The owner is apparently identical to the one at the Wascherfeld.

Special meeting of the municipal council

A special meeting of the market town council on the subject of mobile communications is planned for Tuesday, April 4th.

"There, all existing options are discussed publicly," said city hall spokeswoman Annika Röttinger.

In terms of radio technology, the possible alternative location mentioned should be equated with the one already checked on the premises of the small animal breeding club.

The Murnau market is in contact with Vantage Towers.

The radio mast operator, originally a Vodafone subsidiary, is ready to talk.

If the municipal council approves the alternative location in the special session, "we and Vodafone will continue to examine it," says Vantage Towers spokesman Hagenmüller.

"At first glance, the location fits." But you have to see "if and how you can connect it to the existing network".

It is important to Vantage Towers to “find a solution that local people can live with”.

However, according to Hagenmüller, a change of location would involve a loss of time and costs.

“We expect the support of the community.

It is important to us to get this done together as quickly as possible.” Vantage Towers had already signed a rental agreement for the location at Wascherfeld in 2021.

Community of interests formed

Meanwhile, on Saturday, April 1st, from 7 p.m. in the Hechendorfer Schützenhaus, an interest group is to be founded against the erection of a mast on the Wascherfeld.

"Many citizens take a critical view of these plans and fear negative effects on health, nature and the landscape," says the invitation.

"We would therefore like to get involved together and stand up against the construction of the mobile phone mast."
