Does this threaten Weilheim emergency call center? Citizens in concern!

A dramatic chapter for the emergency call center in Weilheim: The integrated control center Oberland, which has been a lifeguard for the districts of Weilheim-Schongau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen since 2010, is about to close! According to the explosive information that was anonymous to the home newspaper, the closure could already be decided on December 31, 2025. Instead, the control center should be relocated to Fürstenfeldbruck.

This headquarters, which serves as a command center for numerous emergency calls, has been perceived as up to date for some time. The Red Cross, which operates the control center, has already confirmed that the current premises no longer meet the growing requirements. Insiders report internal disputes between the Red Cross and the Zweckverband for emergency services and fire brigade alarm in Oberland, which could endanger the functional processes. However, this merger, which still needs approval from the district days and the Presidium of the Bavarian Red Cross, is currently in the stars.

threat to public security?

The employees of the control center are alerted! A merging with the central point in Fürstenfeldbruck would make accessibility difficult for many of them, since they would often have to accept over 60 minutes - an unacceptable situation from the emergency of emergency care. It is also unclear the conditions under which the employees could be taken over there. The anonymously acting letter writer urged that these uncertainties could lead to employees accepting other jobs, which in turn could significantly jeopardize the security of the population in the affected districts!

It remains questionable whether the closure of the Weilheim control center can still be averted. The district office is silent and refers to an upcoming employee meeting that is to take place on Tuesday (October 29). After that, a press conference is scheduled to come to light.
