Dispute over historical stairs: Halleins old town before changes!

A new decision is to be made on Thursday evening to advance the construction project.

The Goldgasse itself is a historical place with a rich heir that the Hallein historian Wolfgang Wintersteller wants to protect.

The courtyard behind the house at Molnarplatz 14, which fade in 1945 a Latène grave, is considered a valuable part of city history. The plans to tear down a wall and the staircase are unacceptable for winter authors, since this would significantly disrupt the historical view of the alley, SN.at .

The planned construction activity is already causing resistance among the population, with a citizens' initiative against the project mobile. Winterstellen has already organized tours to raise awareness of the historical importance of Goldgasse and hopes that the city politicians will experience first -hand appreciation of the place.
