Noise and garbage: Residents fight against night-time supermarket spooks!

In the residential area around Franz-Fihl-Straße in Munich, a 24/7 supermarket on Dachauer Straße is causing excitement and discontent. Residents complain about nightly parties and noise caused by young people partying and the operation of the supermarket. The authorities regularly receive complaints about loud roars and engine noise from cars stopping for short periods. Particularly bitter for residents: In the morning they often find empty gin bottles, snack packaging and even laughing gas cartridges lying on sidewalks and in front gardens, which spoils the image of the otherwise quiet part of the city. These unsightly dents in nightlife make neighbors question the approval of such 24-hour operations in their neighborhood.

The Moosach district committee is already dealing with the complaints received and plans to discuss the issue further at its next meetings. Florian Simonsen from the SPD has addressed the concerns of the affected residents and will forward them to the district inspectorate. Wolfgang Kuhn (SPD) also plans to contact the supermarket operator directly to find possible solutions. The residents would particularly like more frequent police checks, especially at night, to ensure more security and peace.

Regulations and noise protection

The legislation on noise protection is clear: activities that disturb the night's sleep are prohibited from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. According to that Jung Law Firm Supermarket operators must do everything in their power to prevent avoidable environmental impacts. Deliveries in the early hours of the morning in particular can be seen as disturbing the peace at night, not to mention the possible noise that can be heard in the residential apartments above supermarkets. Judgments from the Düsseldorf Administrative Court and the Lörrach District Court, for example, also set clear limits for noise emissions in order to protect people's sleep at night.

The residents around Franz-Fihl-Straße are wondering whether 24-hour operations in a residential area really make sense and are calling for such businesses to be better relocated to commercial areas. This not only raises the question of how to sleep at night, but also of the right location for such supermarkets. tz.de reports that residents expect solutions that reduce nighttime noise and return the district to its usual state.

The situation in Moosach reflects a larger problem experienced by many residents in residential areas with similar operating models. Dialogue between the affected neighbors, the city and the business operators is required in order to find a solution that does justice to all parties and restores peace and quiet in the residential areas.
