Dispute over Würzburg's bouldering hall: Owner threatens to close!

In Würzburg, the dispute over the Boulderhalle Rock Inn in Ohmstrasse escalates. The new owner who acquired the building in early May has been trying to push the tenants out of the hall since April. The Rock Inn is an important part of the community and has developed into a popular meeting place since it opened about nine years ago. The tenants have a rental agreement that runs by 2050.

The owner puts the tenants under massive pressure, including threats, including the blocking of parking spaces. On the weekend before Christmas, the hall was cleared due to the alleged risk of collapse. The owner claimed that the climbing devices affect the statics of the roof. However, static calculations carried out by the State Trade Institute (LGA) Würzburg in November contradict this claim.

Investigations and temporary closure

After the owner was asked to remove standing water from the flat roof, he did not do so. He had a new report made that claims a risk of collapse due to water accumulation. On Saturday before Christmas, the fire brigade decided on site about the closure of the Rock Inn. Mayor Judith Roth-Jörg and other representatives also appeared in the hall.

The operators defended themselves against the closure and informed their lawyer and the urban building supervision. After a three -hour review by the police, fire brigade and construction supervision, there was an all -clear; The operation could be continued if water accumulation is avoided. Mayor Roth-Jörg expressed that removing water from the roof was the appropriate way.

The owner also tries to prevent further reporting on the Bouldering Hall and announced that he would file a criminal complaint for calls for calls and defamation. In addition, a house ban for employees of the Main-Post in the property of the owner was given. Despite these measures, the editorial team plans to continue to report on the situation because it is of public interest.

like climbing scene.com reported, the new owner also plans the termination of the lease, which from 2025 provides for an extension by 25 years. The Rock Inn has produced a strong community with around 50 committed employees and is used regularly by over 50 social institutions, including schools and therapy providers. The founders mobilize support by publishing a video to the community and calling for a petition.
