Schliersee on the abyss: Will the hotel dream become a refugee accommodation?

In the picturesque Schliersee, there are unexpected twists in the hotel business. The Schlierseer Hof, which has been closed since the beginning of November, could soon act as refugee accommodation. This sudden development could make the desired reopening in April 2025 obsolete. Mayor Franz Schnitzenbaumer is dissatisfied with the situation because an important company for tourism could be lost for years, such as merkur.de reported. Junior boss Marcel de Alwis offered the district office as possible accommodation. This decision is based on the need to find an economic use for the hotel after three million euros have already been invested in time -consuming new building plans.

At the same time, there are tensions between luxury hotel projects and local residents in other places in Bavaria. A planned hotel on the Schlossberg in Oberstaufen could become a modern palace, but residents fear the traditional townscape. While investors hope for high income from tourist growth, growth in the luxury sector increasingly leads to protests. In Schliersee, the latest plans for a new construction of the Schliersee Hof failed, which triggers concern with the hotelier family. The head of the Schlierseer Hof, de Alwis, emphasized that her loss of the citizens' decision led to the departure from the new building plans and that the perspectives are uncertain for the future, reports evening newspaper Munich .

The tense situation is increased by the growing need for refugee accommodation in the district, while the residents fear that new hotel buildings will change the townscape sustainably. Mayor Schnitzenbaumer also discusses alternatives to create container locations for the accommodation of refugees, but this is not yet ready for saying. He tries to secure the tourist use of the region and to reconcile the conflict between the needs of the locals and the requirements of tourism.
