25 refugees will move into the “Weidachklause” in the middle of Peiting from mid-March.

Residents expressed their concerns at an information evening.

Peiting – Initially there was talk of 30 to 35 people in January;

The number has now been set at 25 refugees who will move into the “Weidachklause” in the middle of Peiting.

Occupancy will take place from mid-March – mixed with families and individuals.

Before that, the craftsmen are there to renovate the building, which was formerly an inn.

Yesterday, Monday, there was an information evening for residents.

At an information evening about refugees moving into the Peitinger “Weidachklause”: residents express concerns about garbage and ponds

At the information evening in the Gasthof Buchberger there was a discussion with the neighbors, which was at times emotional, but for the most part orderly.

“Let’s please remain objective,” said Bernhard Pössinger, who had come to Peiting together with Klaus Hartl from the Weilheim-Schongau district office, to those gathered.

And he added: “Please no federal political debate.”

At the beginning of 2024, 3,300 refugees will be accommodated in the Weilheim-Schongau district, said Bernhard Pössinger from the Asylum and Integration Contact Point.

There is currently a “winter dip” in the influx;

Nevertheless, people are “happy about every living space”.

At the beginning of 2024, there will be almost 250 refugees in Peiting, including around 80 adults and children from Ukraine.

Most of the refugees (140) have a roof over their heads in the accommodation on Seestrasse.

Refugees moving into the “Weidachklause” in Peiting: Families and single people from different nations

Mixed occupancy is planned for the former “Weidachklause”, which was recently rented by the district office after its sale from the long-time owner to an investor group from the western district.

Mothers with children would move in there as well as individuals.

These could come from many nations and be of different faiths, added Pössinger.

Occupancy takes place on three floors;

The renovation is currently in full swing.

There are kitchens, showers and toilets on every floor.

The representative of the State District Office noted that shared bathrooms should be avoided.

The rental agreement with the owner is for three years, Pössinger informed.

It is currently being freshly plastered and the floors are being sanded.

But the substance of the property is “not that bad”.

A local resident drew attention to the nearby village pond.

“The pool poses a danger,” he said.

There is potential for conflict there.

This could become even greater if refugees are also staying there.

“How do you want to ensure security on both sides?” asked the neighbor.

A woman complained that there was hardly any space around the “Weidachklause”.

That's why it makes sense that the refugees went down to the Gumpen.

There are also concerns about littering.

Then Mayor Peter Ostenrieder took the floor.

“We have the same conditions all over Peiting,” he replied to concerns that asylum seekers could throw the dirt somewhere outdoors.

Peitingers would also be at the Gumpen, “who act like pigs.”

A resident from Weidachstrasse raised the objection that the refugees did not have any work and were therefore often found at the Gumpen or could behave in other conspicuous ways to pass the time.

The parking situation and the installation of additional windows were also criticized at the information evening, at which numerous local councilors were present.

The neighbor from the southern property complained that in the future people would be able to look at her plate in the kitchen.

Mayor Ostenrieder explained that, unlike a new balcony, the installation of windows is process-free and possible without a building application.

Because of the visual relationships, it is worth considering taping off windows.

The town hall boss announced that residents would be informed again in good time before the first refugees arrive in March.

Gabi Sanktjohanser and Sabine Haser encouraged people to get involved in the asylum helper group in Peiting.

“We rely on new people coming to the group of helpers,” said Sanktjohanser.

The meeting café in the former “Anderl” is not far from the “Weidachklause” and is open three times a week.

“It always helps when you get to know people,” said Sabine Haser.
