Freising in the financial crisis: Where is the money for urban projects?

Freising in the financial crisis: Where is the money for urban projects?

Freising, Deutschland - in Freising is bubbling hard! The city is fighting with an oppressive deficit of 780,000 euros in the administrative budget. While the traffic light government is stumbling in Berlin, Freising is faced with its own challenges. Citizens wonder: where is the money? The answer could shock: an old town festival or folk festival could soon only take place every two years! And that's not all - the city even thinks about selling the iconic "red 1300" on Marienplatz. A popular photo motif could soon be history!

But that's not the only problem child. The construction industry is promoted while the city is also screwing on the fees. The renovation of streets and bridges eats money, and the Moosach Bridge between Dr.-von-Daller-Straße and the Luitpold facility will be rebuilt for half a million euros-a project that nobody demanded! And while the walking and bike path to the airport is finally to be paved, the question remains: Who will take care of winter service? The city and airport share the costs of 400,000 euros, but the citizens have to adapt to additional fees.
