TSV Peißenberg is making another attempt to build a new cabin wing for the ice stadium. The idea: A building complex with cabins and apartments is to be built on the former roller skating rink.
Peißenberg – For a good four years now, the topic of "ice stadium cabins" has been wafting through Peißenberg's local politics. First, the stadium operator, TSV Peißenberg, considered the construction of container or wooden frame buildings as a replacement for the dilapidated changing rooms in the extension of the Bäderpark company building. The municipal council provided a grant of 200,000 euros. But nothing was built.
Instead, TSV joined forces with the market to start planning an activity centre. But the project also failed. Despite a generous state subsidy from a subsidy program, the costs would have gotten out of hand.
TSV Peißenberg: Ice stadium cabins an ongoing topic
And now? As TSV president Stefan Rießenberger announced in a press conference, at the end of 2022 the club dug up internal plans "that already existed four years ago". According to this, a two-storey building with changing rooms on the ground floor and seven apartments on the upper floor, each with a layout of 650 to 50 square metres, could be built on the former roller skating rink next to the ice stadium on a floor area of 70 square metres. The whole thing is to be built by the Peißenberg building contractor Adalbert Staltmayr. "We contacted him last December. He could imagine it," explains Rießenberger.
But what should the construct with the developer look like in concrete terms? Just like the property on which the TSV ice rink stands (owner is not the ice hockey division, but the main club), the area of the former roller skating rink belongs to the municipality. Rießenberger speaks of a "hereditary lease solution". According to the report, Staltmayr would receive 650 square meters of buildable space and take over the construction costs for the building in return, so to speak. "It would have to be a 'win-win-win situation' for the municipality, the TSV and the developer," Rießenberger emphasizes.
Building complex with cabins and apartments: what would be the benefit for the municipality?
But what would be the benefit to the community? Can it even provide a plot of land for free or for a small amount? Rießenberger says "yes", after all, the municipality has already leased land elsewhere to commercial institutions. The TSV president is referring to the company "blueFlux Energy AG", which wants to build a new company headquarters west of the former steel construction hall and in the course of this needs a municipal area for a multi-storey car park. And Rießenberger does not judge the added value for the community on the basis of monetary criteria anyway: "The project would create housing for young people."
And what about the 200,000 euro subsidy promised by the municipality for the construction of the new cabin? Could it even flow into a project of a private developer? Probably not, as well as subsidies from the Bavarian State Sports Association (BLSV). "If it all works like this," Rießenberger announces, "then we wouldn't insist on the municipality's 200,000 euros."
And what does it look like in terms of building law? Urban land-use planning prescribes emission limits for the construction of dwellings. In this specific case, this applies in particular to the noise pollution caused by the ice stadium. For this reason, TSV had a specialist company from Kempten carry out noise measurements at a Bayernliga match between the Miners and Königsbrunn with 700 spectators in February. Rießenberger sums up the result of the report succinctly: "In terms of noise emissions, the project would be possible in principle."
So far, only sketches and no concrete detailed plans are available
The apartments would be structurally oriented in the direction of Pestalozzistraße. On the side facing the ice stadium, a glazed light corridor is to be created in the building. That would be a kind of noise buffer. So far, however, there are only sketches and no concrete detailed plans. June 20 could set the tone for the project. On that day, the TSV officials and Staltmayr are invited to a meeting in the district office. If the building authority, as the subsequent approval authority, does not block the plans from the outset, a preliminary building request should then be submitted to the market council. On the part of the town hall administration, Rießenberger reports, the project is "viewed positively". However, there will be no "quick fix".
According to the TSV president, the old cabins could possibly be used beyond 2025. Actually, the municipal utilities as landlords had set a deadline. The municipal company (KU) may be aiming for a spatial expansion of the outpatient rehabilitation center housed in the Bäderpark building. But the new plant manager, Stefan Ziegler, as Rießenberger explains, would not insist on 2025 as the eviction date for the old cabin wing.
"Three to four years," the TSV president estimates, the cabins would still last. "If I have a goal in mind, then I can bridge the time." Rießenberger currently sees the cooperation with a private property developer as the "only way" to finance new changing rooms for the ice stadium. However, there is also criticism in the TSV environment: "It is said that 'you can't build apartments on the cabins and you are only tenants of the changing rooms'."
