A few weeks ago, our photographer Stephan Rumpf and I were given a tour of the Grossmarkthalle area in Sendling. The appointment was in the afternoon, when the hustle and bustle of trading from the early hours of the morning had died down. There were only a few 40-ton trucks and forklifts on the road, but with a matter of course that left no doubt as to who has priority here (the one at the steering wheel) and who has to give way (us).
The small delegation from the city’s municipal department, which is responsible for the operation of the market halls, also showed the construction sites during the tour. The city has to spend 30 million euros to ensure wholesale market operations in the dilapidated halls by 2030. Then, according to the previous plan, a new wholesale market building should go into operation on part of the entire area.
But there are doubts as to whether that can work, even with the city’s economics officer, Clemens Baumgärtner. He is now bringing – in contradiction to his CSU party friend and local councilor Kristina Frank – a move of the wholesale market to the outskirts into play. What speaks for it from his point of view and what could then happen with the areas in Sendling.
