Marble run in Ebreichsdorf causes trouble: noise drives residents crazy!
The newly built wooden ball track in Ebreichsdorfer Park “Eberich” is causing excitement among the residents. The train, which was installed on the former route area of the disused Pottendorf line, attracts numerous visitors and provokes the outrage of the immediate neighbors. Monika and Christian Kastner, who live nearby, describe the situation as unbearable. Their complaint about the constant noise pollution caused by the children playing and the ringing cowbells was brought to Mayor Wolfgang Kocevar, but without a satisfactory solution. While Kocevar describes the park as a “milestone in urban planning,” the Kastners hope that the city will give in and relocate the marble run to a more suitable location. How today.at Reportedly, the neighbors have filed several lawsuits, but for the time being there has been no reduction in noise or withdrawal of the marble run.
Noise pollution and fun
The 33 meter long marble run, equipped with a metal funnel and cowbells, attracts children and families, especially on weekends, which means that the area is increasingly turning into an amusement park. Residents describe the noise as unbearable and report overcrowded parking spaces. To counteract the noise, “insulating” measures such as felt plates have already been installed on the bells, but the noise level remains a controversial issue. City councilor Harald Kuchwalek pointed out that the noise measurements in the area were around 54 decibels, which corresponds to a normal loud conversation. However, it remains unclear whether this is an acceptable solution for residents bulan, who suggested an alternative design like the SINA Dream Ball, which also helps promote motor skills.
The residents are urgently demanding a solution to the noise pollution, while the city administration remains true to its initiative to create open spaces and play opportunities for families. The discussion about the right balance between leisure activities and quality of living will probably continue for some time.
