Dispute over the Augsburger Hof: accommodation for refugees or artists?

Augsburger Hof, Landsberg, Deutschland - The Augsburger Hof in Landsberg is the focus of a heated competition! The owner has announced that it will sell the traditional hotel and the district administration is hot to buy the building. The Landsberg district has planned a total of six million euros for the purchase and the urgently needed renovation work. District Administrator Thomas Eichinger (CSU) has already taken the first steps to use the building for the accommodation of unaccompanied minor refugees.

But the city of Landsberg has its own plans! She would like to use the Augsburger Hof as accommodation for artists who appear in the neighboring city theater. Overnight accommodation is rare in the Lechstadt, and the city urges an agreement. "We have to reach an agreement now," Eichinger emphasizes while the clock is ticking. If the district is awarded the contract, the question remains whether the renovation work can be completed by 2025.

a race for the Augsburger Hof

The city administration is still determined to secure the Augsburger Hof as a hotel. Press spokeswoman Angelika Urbach emphasizes how important the hotel is in the immediate vicinity of the city theater. Negotiations are on the brink, and the future of the Augsburg court remains uncertain. Who will take the race in the end? The district with its plans for refugees or the city that wants to support the artists? The next steps will be decisive!
