Lengau: New budget for 2025 - millions for schools and infrastructure!

Lengau, Österreich - in Lengau, a budget of 17.2 million euros was passed for 2025 in the last meeting of the municipal council in 2024. This budget provides for a removal of 1.35 million euros from the reserves, despite the difficult economic situation. The financing includes essential investments in the infrastructure. A central point is the completion of the Friedburg elementary school, which will receive a modern school kitchen at 2.75 million euros. In addition, measures such as the addition of an all-day school with 550,000 euros and the construction of a fire station and the construction of a CAT camp with a total volume of 1.94 million euros are planned. MeinDägkirz reported that also the renovation of channels and roads are planned for the congregation in the community Increase.

rail infrastructure strongly expanded

There is also positive news in another area: In 2024, Deutsche Bahn invested almost 17 billion euros in its infrastructure in order to overcome the backlog of investment. This represents a historical turning point, explained Philipp Nagl, head of the rail infrastructure company Infrago, in a report by Tagesschau . The investments led to a renewal of 1,851 soft and laying of 1,940 kilometers of tracks and the construction at 872 train stations, which is a significant improvement in the rail infrastructure.

In European comparison, however, investments in Germany are still inadequate. While countries such as Switzerland and Austria invest much higher amounts in the rail network per capita, Germany has been behind for several years in payments per inhabitant. Despite the increasing investments, it is emphasized that considerable financial effort is still necessary for the coming time to improve the quality of train traffic.
