The ground is prepared for the new Oberland Hospice in Bad Wiessee: Not only has the Josefheim been demolished, the local council has now also completed the approval process.
Bad Wiessee
– The old Josefheim in Bad Wiessee is a thing of the past.
Heavy excavators have recently almost razed the striking building on Löblweg, which served as a Catholic parish hall until 2019 and most recently as refugee accommodation, to the ground.
“It’s giving way to something new and good,” said building authority manager Anton Bammer in the Wiessee local council on Thursday evening (March 21st).
As is well known, the Oberland Hospice of the Marion von Tessin Foundation is being built on the site.
The local council has now put an end to the overall smooth approval process with two unanimous resolutions.
The new hospice building will be able to accommodate twelve people who are at the end of their life.
The rooms and all ancillary rooms are located on the ground floor of the two-part building complex.
The listed chapel should continue to be open to the public
According to the building application, a single-storey building is to be built in the west and a two-storey building in the eastern area.
The complex will have a green flat roof, and a 40 square meter roof terrace will be planned in part.
The listed chapel on the site will be preserved and will continue to be open to the public in the future, said Bammer.
In addition to the chapel, the entrance to the underground car park is planned on the east side; eight parking spaces will be accommodated there, the remaining seven will be above ground.

The planning comes from the Schliersee architect Johannes Wegmann.
Bammer said that nothing significant had changed in its basic features since the preliminary drafts.
Only the division of the glass surfaces and the planned photovoltaic system would still have to be adapted to the requirements of the local planning regulations.
From the administration's point of view, says Bammer, it is very pleasing that the planning of the hospice has now been completed: "Everything is ready so that things can get started quickly."
Tree felling in the area has raised critical concerns
The only thing that caused criticism was the clearing that had taken place on the site.
Johannes von Miller (Greens) complained that large spruce trees had fallen that were originally considered worth preserving.
He appealed to the foundation representatives present at the meeting to “prefer to exceed” the announced replanting.
CSU colleague Alois Fichtner agreed with him: The building is not a beauty, but a "functional building" that would do well "if it were surrounded by relatively green surroundings," said the local council.
Architect Wegmann: Height development is lower than in the previous building
In an interview with our newspaper, architect Wegmann emphasized that the design of the new building was based on its use.
In a hospice, all functions of the operation - i.e. rooms, adjoining rooms and supplies - must be located on one level, he says.
“That's why it has become a flat building.” In terms of height, the new hospice is lower than the previous building, so the building fits well into the surrounding area.
The upper floor, Wegmann adds, will be put to very sensible use.
An academy is being built there in which the hospice wants to train its own specialist staff.

SPD spokesman Kuntze-Fechner: “We need this facility”
As expected, the building application for the long-awaited project - like the development plan before it - received the committee's unanimous vote.
“I think it’s good that construction will start soon,” said Bernd Kuntze-Fechner (SPD).
“We need this facility.” As is well known, there is currently no comparable offer in the district.
Attorney Jasper von Hoerner, chairman of the Marion von Tessin Foundation, expects the hospice to be completed in 2025.
