What kind of waves did she make at the time, Prime Minister Markus Söder’s announcement that Munich would be separated from Upper Bavaria and made into its own eighth government district. A reform of the administrative structures – sounds pretty dry, but would have huge effects. It was early 2020 when Söder made his plan public. Much was written at the time about all the questions raised by the project. To date, however, only very few have been answered.
A good two years later, Söder has also given the planned concert hall in Munich’s Werksviertel a “pause for thought” (SZ Plus). On this occasion, my colleagues Heiner Effern, Andreas Schubert and I took a look a year and a half before the end of this parliamentary term to see what had actually become of other projects that the Prime Minister of the City of Munich had promised (SZ Plus). From the many new apartments that the state-owned company Bayernheim is to build by 2025. From the 365-euro ticket for everyone, from the S-Bahn Nordring and the tram through the English Garden.
And also from the administrative district of Munich. Spoilers: Nothing has happened so far. It is a “long-term project that cannot already be implemented in this legislature,” said a spokesman for the responsible Ministry of the Interior. Sounds kind of like “pause for thought”, length: open.
THE DAY IN MUNICH
When the landlord’s attorney calls A resident of Prinz-Eugen-Park fears that Gewofag wants to get rid of him because he persistently denounces shortcomings. The company denies that. The neighbors (SZ Plus) also confirm that there are problems in the house.
Quarrel on the sidelines The city of Munich wants to save costs for groundskeepers and transfer responsibility for former district sports facilities to the clubs – but there is resistance to this.
Easter in the Churches There is a large selection of church services and church concerts at Easter. Because of the corona pandemic, masks and distance are mandatory, and in some communities there are also additional access conditions.
Youth saves 80-year-old’s life The 15-year-old heard a smoke alarm and alerted the Munich fire department. Until this came, the young people dutifully waited in front of the residential building and instructed the rescuers.
Race for Peace The Bellevue di Monaco social project is expecting thousands of participants at the “Giro di Monaco” on the Altstadtring. The voluntary donations for participation go to a social project in Poland, among other things.
Not enough school places? Neighborhood officials believe the calculated needs of the city’s school building program are far too low. In the south of Munich, for example, there is a glaring lack of places at secondary schools.
