The Inninger commercial association Blickpunkt is threatened with dissolution for the third time.
On Wednesday again no one could be found for the board.
A task force with well-known and young faces from Inning now wants to take care of its continued existence and, if possible, win back members who have recently broken away.
Inning
- Almost exactly eleven years ago, the Blickpunkt Inning trade association was at this point for the first time: In 2013, there was initially no board team and the association of Inning tradesmen was threatened with dissolution.
Although this scenario could be prevented, it threatened to happen again the next time the board changed.
Now that the entire board was no longer available for the new elections on Wednesday, dark clouds are gathering again.
While eleven years ago candidates were found after four weeks and someone also stepped in during the following change, this time a "task force" is supposed to take care of the continued existence of the trade association - and, above all, of winning back members who had dropped out.
Last year alone, ten members left the association, says Mayor Walter Bleimaier.
Jürgen Hatz, a well-known face who was able to work wonders at SV Inning in 2019, is also on board in the task force.
At that time he was still a club representative on the local council.
Because his successor in the office, Katrin Nicolodi, didn't have time, he agreed to take on the role of mediator for her in this particular case.
“We need a local trade association,” Mayor Werner Röslmair proclaimed in 2013.
Hatz sees it exactly the same way, as does the current mayor Bleimaier.
The board of the Blickpunkt trade association normally consists of five members; according to the statutes, only three members are possible.
That's how it was recently: Walter Lang as chairman, Daniel Rank as secretary and Daniel Nusser as treasurer were the last officers in the 50-member association, twelve of whom were present on Wednesday.
In addition to Bleimaier and Hatz, the task force also includes local councilor Johann Ritzer and young business owners such as Lukas Welzmüller.
The board trio will remain as interim board members to continue operations until a solution emerges.
“The alternative would have been to dissolve the club,” says Jürgen Hatz in an interview with Starnberger Merkur.
Nobody wanted that.
Great past, uncertain future
The Blickpunkt trade association can look back on a successful history.
The community of Inningen traders was founded in 2002.
A trademark of the association was the market Sundays, which, with their special flair, became visitor magnets and, at the time, dwarfed comparable events in the district with their visitor numbers.
For the first time, however, the exhibition was launched by a private initiative.
Blickpunkt successfully continued the story under the chairmanship of Rainer Wittenberger.
It was also successful because the weather was usually good on the Inningen market Sundays.
The sun also smiled on the club, which made it a tradition for many years to make a pilgrimage to Andechs in autumn with a candle as a thank you.
“But at some point it stopped,” remembers Wittenberger.
When he was chairman, the trade association had 80 to 100 members.
“Alone in the inning.
The industrial park didn’t exist back then,” he emphasizes.
There were also many craftsmen among them at the time.
“Business outside and in here, they are two different things,” says Wittenberger.
In his opinion, there should be someone on the board who is responsible for the business park and someone for the businesses with a focus on the local area, because many businesses have been closed in the meantime.
“We agreed on the next meeting in February,” says Mayor Bleimaier.
He is confident that a board will be found again.
The contact persons for the task force are Ines Hoffmann and Gerhard Spitz.
The market Sunday is very important for the place, says Bleimaier.
It was the regular event of the year in Inning.
If the trade association no longer organizes it, that would be a problem.
“The community can’t organize something like that,” he says.
“Perhaps there doesn’t have to be a market Sunday every year, perhaps alternating with an open day in the business park.” With a good concept, he believes that this is possible.

The goal of the task force is now to get local business people, especially those who have recently dropped out, back into the association and to get involved in it and to win new members.
An extraordinary general meeting with new elections should take place as soon as possible.
