The underground car park at Heiliggeistgasse 17 is no longer tight.
Only renovation can help prevent water ingress.
23 trees have now fallen victim to this.
Freising
– A private underground car park on Heiliggeistgasse in Freising needs to be renovated.
The reason is concrete damage to the supporting structure of the building.
In order to prevent water from entering through the underground garage ceiling, the area covered in earth above the garage must be cleared.
The result is the dismantling of the entire area - and the felling of 23 trees, as explained at the planning committee meeting.
The whole thing is a statically extremely complex matter, a very complicated procedure.
Replacement plantings are planned
“The residents don’t think it’s so funny what’s going on here,” said Manfred Drobny (Greens) and wanted to know why there was no alternative to felling trees.
Mayor Tobias Eschenbacher's answer: "If you want to continue using the underground car park as such, there is no alternative because the ceiling is leaking." The only option is a completely different use.
There was brief consideration here about converting the garage into a retention basin for heavy rain events.
Then all parking spaces would be lost - this solution was not an option.
Of course, the trees that stand in the way of renovation cannot simply be removed without replacement.
31 replacement plantings are planned, which, as the administration says, “should compensate for the ecological impact as much as possible”.
The square will be restored once the construction work is completed.
The mayor said about the process: “Trees that are planted in an underground car park can only last as long as the underground car park itself. We should keep that in mind in the future.” Residents can use parking spaces at the Luitpoldanlage during the construction period , it was said.
