Kissinger wants to conquer the city hall of Wunsiedl

Most people in kissingen probably don’t know all that much about the town of wunsiedel. The district town in southern upper franconia is known, among other things, for its spectacular luisenburg rock labyrinth and the annual theater festival held there. Others may still know that the writer jean paul (1763-1825) was born in wunsiedel. For many years, the town also attracted unwelcome attention because of the grave of rudolf heb, the hitler deputy who was buried there, which was a pilgrimage site for his followers.

Now, younger kissing residents in particular will perhaps take a closer look at what makes the town of 9,000 inhabitants in the fichtelgebirge so special. A young man from kissingen wants to become mayor there. The executive committee of the CSU in wunsiedel has proposed 29-year-old nicolas lahovnik as a candidate for next year’s mayoral election. At the presentation, the christian socialists from wunsiedl called lahovnik an expert in budgetary matters. According to reports from regional media, they also praised him for his "high level of economic competence" to. He wants to "approach all groups in wunsiedel", said the 29-year-old himself to a regional newspaper. In any case, he does not see himself as a party soldier. Formal nomination by the members of the CSU in wunsiedl still has to follow, however. Lahovnik is to succeed the incumbent mayor, karl-willi beck, also a CSU member, who has already been elected three times to the office of city leader. According to media reports, beck will not run again for health reasons. It is not yet clear whether lahovnik will have to reckon with opposing candidates. Currently, the CSU has an absolute majority in the wunsiedl city council.

Sunshade not tight enough

Mayor german hacker (SPD) approaches the subject with caution. In an interview for the meeting of the planning committee next tuesday, he pointed out that the city administration would like to turn over a decision. The new town hall building is not to be fitted with textile sun protection for the windows, as had been decided. Instead, the "raffstore" design is to be used to be taken.

The funny thing is: this is exactly the solution that is now being advocated. Hacker had already favored it when it was first awarded in march 2018 – along with a number of other city council members, by the way. This variant failed at the time, but the mayor took it with a sense of humor. But that obviously didn’t leave him in peace. Especially since he had already pointed out the disadvantages of the decided form at that time, as he stated now again with a certain smile.

A bumpy start – from limbach to habfurt

Drizzle slowly but steadily soaks my jacket. I stand perplexed in front of the timetable, because the next bus doesn’t leave for another hour. It’s still a good four kilometers to home. Wait or walk? I resolutely shoulder my backpack.

Reconstruction of the ex-municipal office: cost calculation in progress

The focus of the public meeting of the schneckenlohe municipal council, which was chaired by the 1. The agenda item for the meeting of mayor knut morgenroth on monday evening was "conversion and modernization of the former henneschberg town hall into a multi-generational town hall".
In may 2015, the municipal office had to be closed due to a dry rot infestation and has been housed in the former elementary school since september 2015.
Mayor morgenroth began by informing the council about the recent meeting with the directorate for rural development in bamberg, where additional information was obtained for the submission of the application for funding. So that the immediate surroundings of the house could also be included in the new design.
However, it is not yet possible to say exactly when this will be. At the meeting, architect gerd-peter lauer from architekturburo lauer& lebok presents the plans for the reconstruction to the town council.
As he emphasized, an application for a building permit must now be submitted in order to obtain the required funds. The architect informed the council of the various criteria and conditions required for this tree removal. Among other things, a fire safety report, calculations by a structural engineer or requirements for an escape route are necessary. Barrier-free access is also planned.
According to gerd-peter lauer, a utilization concept also needs to be drawn up in order to get the conversion and modernization as a burgher house approved. Therefore, the adjacent training room of the red cross must be integrated as a multi-purpose room. However, the architect was not yet able to provide any information on costs at this meeting, as the cost calculation was still in progress.
As mayor knut morgenroth added, the future utilization concept must now be clarified with the local associations and a building application submitted, which was unanimously approved by the municipal council.
