Construction begins in Westerham: refugee accommodation despite lawsuit from the municipality

On October 15, 2024, work on a new refugee accommodation began on the property on Walter-Gessner-Straße in Westerham. This is a container residential complex that will offer space for up to 160 people. Despite the ongoing lawsuit filed by the municipality of Feldkirchen-Westerham against the Rosenheim district office, excavation is already underway at this site. However, the legal questions in advance are still not clarified.

The municipality of Feldkirchen-Westerham filed a lawsuit with the Munich Administrative Court on July 11, 2024 to challenge the district office's decision. Essentially, it's not about the construction of the accommodation itself, but about the set period of use of eleven years, which the community considers to be too restrictive and severely restricts its freedom of planning. Mayor Johannes Zistl mentioned in a statement that the municipality had already reacted in advance to the start of construction.

Reactions to the start of construction

The situation is tense because the property on which the accommodation is being built is close to the Spinner factory on Aiblinger Straße. The construction site could have an impact on residents and municipal planning. The mayor sees the urgent application as a necessary measure to have the jurisdiction of the start of construction checked, as the building permit has not yet been legally checked.

The press spokesman for the Bavarian Administrative Court, Joel Hollaender, explains that the district office, as the respondent, is now asked to quickly take a position on the urgent application. After this statement, the court will decide promptly whether the construction work can continue. The authorities have recognized this approach as a constitutional remedy.

Developments in the community raise questions about how the legal action will affect the progress of the construction project. It now remains to be seen whether the work will be allowed to continue, with the court expected to make a ruling in the near future. This development could have a significant impact on future projects in the region.
