Noise, garbage and protest: residents are calling for peace in the Munich Uni-Viertel!

in the heart of Munich, more precisely in the university district, it is bubbling. Residents complain about unbearable party noise and the associated garbage, which all too often stacks in front of their front doors. The "L (i) worthwhile Maxvorstadt" initiative, which consists of around 80 committed residents, has taken the matter in hand. As the tz , the district committee of the Maxvorstadt has taken up its concerns to take specific measures improve.

"This is unbearable," says Nicole Thiel, the initiator of the resident initiative, the stressful situation. Many residents want a balanced coexistence with the celebrants. The district committee has already given the proposals of the initiative to be heard and assured support. Chair Svenja Jarchow-Pongratz (Greens) refers to previous applications that are devoted to night's sleep and cleanliness.

concrete suggestions for improvement

The residential initiative has formulated a list of measures to get the noise and the waste problem under control:

• Frequent night strips by the police and municipal field service (KAD).
• increase in the cleaning frequency in heavily soiled areas.
• facility of temporary glass ban zones.
• ban on the output of plastic cups by kiosks and restaurants; Instead, deposit and reusable dishes should be used.
• Establishment of party zones outside of residential areas.
• Checking the legal requirements for kiosks that sell alcohol late at night.

These suggestions should help increase the quality of life in the district and to check the compliance with existing rules. The district committee has also formulated a cross-faction application, which provides for a duty to lock Shanigarten-Mobiliars in the evening.

fears of the hosts

But not only the residents are under pressure. The host of the area fears for their existence because they are severely affected by the planned measures to reduce seats and opening hours outdoors. The location is heading particularly on warm Saturday evening when night owls with to-go drinks, especially beer and aperor spray, are on the road in Schellingstrasse. The most popular point of sales is the 24-hour kiosk "Bites and Delights", where the atmosphere is often loud and exuberant.

Before the kiosk, people crowd so that the music from inside is hardly noticeable. In view of this situation, there are already voices that require a quick reaction from the city to maintain the balance between residents and celebrations. The district committee's plans go in this direction, which is viewed by the residents and the commercial community with mixed feelings. The dialogue must continue to take into account both the quality of life and the economic issues of the catering.
