Citizens are fighting for menage house: Signature campaign started in Penzberg!

In Penzberg it is bubbling! A year after the first announcement of the demolition plans for the menage house line by the “Bavaria living” company, resistance is formed in the population. A committed citizens' initiative has founded itself and is passionate about the preservation of the impending cultural assets. At the meeting of the city council in November, the project was discussed again and ended with a postponement: Instead of driving the plans forward, it was decided to switch from a project -related to a classic development plan in order to be able to exert more influence on the design, such as the reported.

The real estate developer plans to tear down the historic buildings and replace with new buildings, which has already triggered an outcry within the community. During the city council, lawyer Monika Herrmann warned that a clear time frame for the construction must be set for a project -related development plan, which is currently not possible because there are still rental contracts. This unsettles everyone involved and leads to the city council now pursuing a different approach. The citizens' initiative has already needed around 1,200 signatures and collected about half of them. A next signature collection date will take place on December 19, such as Radio Oberland reported.

a little victory for the citizens' initiative

The positive reaction of the city council to the concerns of the citizens is considered a partial success by the initiative. A spokeswoman said that one would now go into the voices of the residents and do not simply want to put them in front of accomplished facts. The citizens' request, which is intended to prevent demolition, continues to be actively pursued, while the initiative tirelessly collects. The next campaign serves to achieve the missing signatures to stop the project. In this way, the future of the menage house line remains exciting and shaped by the citizen participation.
