Save the youth dormitory: residents fight for the sale of Caritas!

Zieblandstraße 35, 80337 München, Deutschland - In Maxvorstadt, the planned sale of a youth dormitory causes excitement. Caritas intends to sell the building at the intersection of Zieblandstraße and Augustenstrasse, which serves 127 young people between the ages of 18 and 27 as a living space and then to rent it as part of a sale-and-lease-back process. This was reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung . Saint Francis, who adorns the facade of the building in need of renovation, could soon be a thing of the past as a Finnish figure.

The residents fear that when changing the owner, use as a youth dormitory is not secured. This was also used by the tz Accommodation indicates. In April the residents were informed about the planned sale, which raised numerous question marks.

The career of the dormitory

The youth dormitory has existed since 1954 and has developed into an important support for young people in education and work in its long history. Due to the homely support, the transition from school to professional life should be facilitated. Caritas in Bavaria alone offers over 5,500 places to cover the living space requirement for young adults, such as "https://www.caritas-bayern.de/unsere-themen/kinder-und-jugendhilfe/jugendsocialarbeit/jugendwohnen" class = "source_3"> caritas bayern .

The promotion of social contacts and the exchange with like -minded people are central aspects of this offer. This system is particularly important for young people who have to leave their families for various reasons. However, the planned changes through the sale bring uncertainty. Now the residents have organized to fight the possible loss of their dormitory.

together strongly against uncertainty

Some residents already hanged white bed sheets with the inscription "Save the dorm" out of their windows to draw attention to their worries. However, these actions were quickly removed. You will receive support from Johannes Sonner, the former head of the dormitory, which appeals to Caritas' financial difficulties and supports the initiative of the residents.

Political support for the concerns of the residents is also available. All political groups of the Maxvorstadt district committee, with the exception of the AfD, are committed to the preservation of the dormitory and demanded a round table to search for solutions together with Caritas. BA boss Svenja Jarchow expressed concerns about the uncertainties of the sales procedure and criticizes that Caritas may be aiming for maximizing profits at the expense of young people. Simone Burger from the SPD parliamentary group continues to support the demand for a permanent securing of the youth dormitory and the exchange with urban presentations.

Caritas itself has not confirmed the statements about the planned rental period of at least three years and instead referred to their social responsibility. To what extent this will guarantee the long -term preservation of the dormitory remains uncertain, and the concerns about the future of the dormitory are far from cleared. The discussion about this important topic is now being followed with a safe tension.
