Miesbach - Miesbach's mayor Braunmiller looked forward to the New Year's reception in the Waitzinger cellar with joy.
He reported on successful projects.
It was already clear from the greeting that Miebach's mayor was looking forward to the New Year's reception with great anticipation.
Finally, he had to present some successes to the invited guests in the packed hall of the cultural center.
After welcoming the numerous political celebrities present - for example, State Parliament President Ilse Aigner and District Administrator Olaf von Löwis with Ms. Sybille, Deputy District Administrator Jens Zangenfeind, Bundestag member Alexander Radwan, former Mayor Ingrid Pongratz and fellow mayors from the district were present - everyone was happy Town hall boss said that the city itself was brilliantly represented by Astrid Güldner and Franz Maier as well as many other city councilors and employees.
After the city band created a right-wing atmosphere with the march “Greetings from Upper Bavaria,” Braunmiller welcomed the representatives of all social groups in the city: “Our joint work is working for Miesbach,” he said.
The most important projects in 2023
When the star singers offered their greetings for 2024, the look back at the most important projects in 2023 began - supported by a PowerPoint presentation - above all the most expensive construction site in the city: the 6.9 million euro conversion of the monastery built in 1830 into a modern one Children's home is nearing completion.
An open day is scheduled to take place in May.
Once completed, the house will be a milestone in childcare – and with a total of nine groups (kindergarten/nursery) it will provide fundamental support for parents.
“We are extremely pleased that we have won the 2023 Monument Protection Award for this ambitious renovation,” reported town hall boss Braunmiller.
The new Schopfgraben Bridge (1.3 million euros) was completed after nine months of construction, making the Lower Wies accessible from the city again.
A project close to the mayor's heart is also making progress: Bayernheim AG is creating new affordable housing on the Gschwendt: "With these 70 social housing units, we have achieved a very good project for the future of Miesbach," said Braunmiller proudly.
view in the future
Flood protection in Bergham, the Miesbach III local heating project, the expansion of the North commercial area, the planned large housing development in Müller am Baum with around 200 residential units including shops and infrastructure, the designation of a new development area on Kreuzberg - all of these projects are being pushed forward.
A key project in the next few years will be the redevelopment of the district office area.
The symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the 38 million project took place in March 2023.
“If everything goes as planned, Miesbach will have a new district office in spring 2026,” said Braunmiller.
He is also optimistic about another future issue: the dispute with the Munich municipal utility company over the water protection area will go to court.
Braunmiller sees “very good chances that a decision will be made in our favor here”.

The old woes with finances
The city must and wants to find a solution to the ongoing issue of hot pools this year: “The pool will therefore remain closed in 2024,” announced Braunmiller.
The problem that needs to be solved: In any case, the city has to take out a loan for the renovation.
Not an easy task, as Braunmiller explained in the second part of his program, the review and outlook on the city's finances.
An overview showed the city's debt development, which jumped to 20 million in the 1990s with the construction of the Waitzinger Keller.
Since then, the development has been increasing in spurts: “First and foremost, it is mandatory tasks such as civil engineering that require this effort,” explained Braunmiller and held out the prospect of reducing debt again by 2030.
But that is difficult because even Miesbach cannot generate enough income through taxes in the long term to absorb price increases and cost explosions in all areas.
Since this concern is not only relevant in the district town, the topic was a focus of the Bavarian Cities Association, which met last year in the Waitzinger Keller.
Braunmiller's review of the many events, festivals and celebrations of the past year then showed how lively, diverse and active the city is in all areas of life.
So it's no wonder that Miesbach is now ranked 28th in the ranking of the most successful small towns in Germany.
