Disgust at the Allach S-Bahn station: Hygiene problems demand action!

There is a lot of noise at the Allach S-Bahn station. The problems seem to have accumulated and the discontent in the Allach-Untermenzing district committee is clearly noticeable. A situation that should no longer be accepted: In recent weeks, smells of urine and wild accumulations of garbage have severely affected the station and its surroundings. The district committee therefore unequivocally demands that the city of Munich immediately have the covered bicycle parking area and the access to the underground car park cleaned. According to tz.de, this condition is described as a significant hygiene problem and even as a “neglect tendency”.

The Allach S-Bahn station is a central transport hub in the district and is used intensively by commuters, residents and visitors. The area, which also includes the EVER.S shopping center, is a daily meeting place for many citizens. People stay here not only for work, but also for shopping or as a meeting place. But the hygienic deficiencies lead to a devaluation of public space, as wochenanzeiger.de reports. Politicians emphasize that well-functioning and regularly cleaned infrastructure is an element of public services - a right that every resident is entitled to.

Compliance with public services

Another problem shaping the discussion is the lack of public toilets at the S-Bahn station, a concern that was already discussed in 2022 but has not yet been implemented. The district committee renews this demand and is once again committed to a clearly visible culture of hygiene and cleanliness. There is a clear need for action here to make the environment attractive for people.

In the context of the current discussion about hygiene and cleanliness, it is also clear that these topics are of central importance not only in Munich, but also in other cities. An example of this is the Berlin program “Cleanliness and Sense of Security in Large Settlements”, which berlin.de initiated. This includes measures aimed at improving cleanliness and safety in residential areas. Such concepts could also provide inspiration for Allach to develop citizen service-oriented approaches and increase the quality of life in the area.

Together for a better Allach

The hope for an improvement in the situation at the Allach S-Bahn station remains, because the population has now come together to actively draw attention to the grievances. Regular cleaning and setting up toilet facilities could be positive steps towards a livable district. After all, a clean and safe environment is not only a right, but also an obligation that society faces. And so we can only hope that those responsible will soon set the course for improvements.
