Fight for Khleslplatz: Citizens' Association defends itself against construction!

Khleslplatz, 1120 Wien, Österreich - The Viennese FPÖ vehemently appeals against the planned reconciliation of the historic Khleslplatz in Meidling. This place, as one of the last preserved triangle -long Vienna, a real cultural heritage could be significantly threatened by the new blueprints. FPÖ state party secretary Lukas Brucker said in a loud rally in which hundreds of citizens took part: "The Khleslplatz is a historical gem. The planned reconciliation is another example of the red friendship, which has shaped urban politics for decades," said Brucker. The FPÖ calls for an immediate stop of all plans and emphasizes its support for the citizens' initiative, which is committed to the preservation of the square, as residents defend themselves

The Khleslplatz, which has been a listed building since 1973, could experience “densification” through a new project by the city of Vienna, which means that the amount of the new buildings could be up to 16.5 meters. This worries the residents who have already collected over 1,000 signatures in a petition against the area change. Dieter holiday, a long -time resident of the square, criticized the plans and feared that the unique charm and the historical importance of Khleslplatz could finally be lost. "The back door could be built -in," warned holiday, which could lead to concern about future interventions in protection zones, such as ots noted .

A large rally on the Khleslplatz is planned for the coming Saturday, which also expected numerous political representatives. The citizens' initiative aims to preserve the historical legacy of the Khleslplatz and to protect the town center from potential construction. District head Wilfried Zankl (SPÖ) tries to appease the concerns of the population and emphasizes that it is moderate measures to revitalize the area. Nevertheless, the question remains whether these plans can actually guarantee the protection of the space or whether the citizens have to fight for their cultural heritage.
