An aparthotel where guests can also work. A company would like to realize something like this in Bad Wiessee. But the community does not play along.
Bad Wiessee – The concept sounds innovative: In place of the Landhotel Sonnenfeld in Abwinkl, an aparthotel is to be built in which guests not only go on holiday, but also pursue their work. The Wiessee councillors, however, waved it off: the planned construction seemed far too massive for them at this point.
Project developers speak of a unique pilot project
At the municipal council meeting on Thursday evening (25 May), the representatives of the company Denkmalneu praised their concept, which they want to implement together with the auditing and consulting firm PwC Deutschland in Bad Wiessee, as a unique pilot project: The Landhotel Sonnenfeld in the Abwinkl district, which has been vacant for some time, is to be demolished and replaced by a larger new building that will focus on the topics of "Travel, Work and life".
Rooms would also be available for working guests
In plain language, this means that the rooms and apartments would not only be available to holidaying guests, but also to employees of PwC and other companies who could pursue their jobs there in a beautiful hotel ambience and in a holiday region. Gladly also with the family. "You no longer need a bridging day to travel," said Thomas Scherer of Denkmalneu, highlighting the advantages of this model. Instead of a wellness area, a 500 square meter work area would be created in the hotel. The world of work and the hotel industry are changing – this project is intended to take this into account, said Scherer, when the preliminary decision application for the new construction of the aparthotel with 80 to 100 rooms as well as in-house gastronomy and underground parking was up for debate in the municipal council.
After criticism in October: Builder had reduced the size of the new building
The structural facts were provided by architect Michael Richter. According to the project developer, the new complex on the corner of Sonnenfeldweg and Im Sonnenfeld will consist of two buildings. In the front part, the new building would have three full storeys plus an attic. The height of the building had been reduced after the criticism in October, when the project had apparently already been presented in a non-public meeting, said Richter. "The ridge has become half a meter lower." In addition, the new building will be four metres shorter towards Sonnenfeldweg. All spacing areas would now be complied with. "In our opinion, the height fits in well with the local development," said Richter, citing some buildings from the neighborhood, including the Sperrhof and the Bussi Baby. The proportions were comparable, the architect found.
Local councillors continue to be bothered by massive cubature
A view that the local councillors did not share at all. For CSU spokesman Florian Sareiter, the desired use was initially "secondary". He continued to be bothered by the cubature of the building. This is also "far too massive" for him in the new planning. A height reduction of half a meter is not enough here, Sareiter emphasized. "We're talking about an entire floor."
Economical or not? Not decisive for local councillors
Scherer's objection that a third of all apartments would be eliminated and that the project would then no longer be feasible in this form left the local councillors cold. "Economic efficiency is not what interests us as local councillors," Johannes von Miller (Greens) made clear. The concept sounds conclusive, says von Miller. "It's nice that you want to do that with us – but not here and not in this cubature." Benedikt Dörder (SPD) expressed a similar view. Such a new building would be too massive for the valuable district of Abwinkl. "That's not how we come together," he said to the visibly disappointed project developers.

Anton Bammer, head of the building authority, had also recommended that the preliminary decision application be denied municipal consent. Especially since some of the information contained different information in the application documents submitted in writing than the project developers put on the table in their oral presentation. The documents spoke of up to 110 rooms and a length of stay of up to six months. Bammer spoke of "irritations" – and the local council rejected the project as a whole.
