Improved Security at Sendlinger hole: Pit Now Secure -- City of Munich Avoids Payment Obligation
In a significant development, ehret+klein, a renowned construction and real estate company based in Starnberg, has taken over the Sendlinger Loch project in Munich. The project, which has been dormant for years, aims to transform the site into a modern complex of 128 luxury apartments, a supermarket on the ground floor, and additional retail spaces, as well as a daycare centre.
The change of hands in the project has been met with a mix of anticipation and scrutiny from local authorities and residents. Munich's chief building officer, Elisabeth Merk, expressed her pleasure at the project's continuation, stating that the creation of urgently needed housing is a welcome step.
The conditions at the Sendlinger Loch have been described as a "catastrophe" and "scandal" by Munich initiatives and associations. The new developer, ehret+klein, has already started work to investigate and secure the excavation site, a critical safety measure before further construction can commence.
The property owner is now responsible for securing the excavation site following the sale. The exact role of ehret+klein in the project is not explicitly stated in the recent news summaries, but given their expertise in construction and real estate, it is presumed that they will execute safety and development measures essential to the project's continuation.
The city intends to provide approximately 2.1 million euros for securing the Sendlinger Loch, with the hope that these measures will save Munich city millions in the long run. The public authority must intervene for risk prevention and carry out urgent work at the Sendlinger Loch due to the pit being full of water and requiring static securing.
The search for more precise details about ehret+klein's contractual role or specific security measures they are implementing at Sendlinger Loch continues. Additional sources or an official project communication would be necessary to provide a clearer picture of their involvement in the project.
Meanwhile, the Green fraction leader Weisenburger has demanded the implementation of the so-called property tax C in Munich, which puts property companies that do not build promised apartments in their duty. The SPD city council fraction has also criticized reckless speculation and demanded more municipal possibilities in speculation combat, building supervision, and housing supervision. The Green/Rosa Liste/Volt fraction shares this demand, calling for more opportunities for municipalities to put pressure on reluctant speculators.
Other developments in Munich include a pilot project for opening outdoor play areas for kindergartens outside operating hours, demanded by the CSU, SPD, and Greens. Unfortunately, there are currently no usable bunkers in Bavaria, according to Interior Minister Herrmann.
A separate incident saw one man hospitalized due to a brawl in Munich accommodation. The city can charge the owners for substitute performance, but recovering these costs from the administration is laborious and time-consuming.
With the Sendlinger Loch project now in the hands of ehret+klein, the city and its residents eagerly await the progress and completion of this significant development.
The new developer, ehret+klein, is expected to execute safety and development measures essential to the Sendlinger Loch project, given their expertise in construction and real estate. To secure the excavation site, ehret+klein has started investigations, as a critical step before further construction can commence, while the city plans to provide approximately 2.1 million euros for securing the site in anticipation of long-term savings.
