Trouble over the bakery stand: route for the blind and taxi visibility obstructed!
Obermenzing: New sales stand at Pasinger Bahnhofsplatz causes trouble - district committee calls for removal due to safety concerns.
Trouble over the bakery stand: route for the blind and taxi visibility obstructed!
A new bakery stall on Pasinger Bahnhofsplatz has been causing a lot of unrest among residents and members of the Pasing-Obermenzing district committee for several weeks. As the tz reported that the stand not only blocked the view of the taxi stand on Bäckerstrasse, but also interrupted the route for the blind. This is a real nuisance, as it has led to an increasing number of complaints from citizens.
The district committee has now called for the stand to be removed immediately. In fact, the CSU parliamentary group has even submitted an urgent request for removal. In addition, there is a suggestion from a citizen to put up signs for the taxi rank - a request that is fully supported by the BA members.
Roller coaster of emotions at the train station
The situation is becoming even more explosive: According to the demands of the district committee, the city of Munich should persuade Deutsche Bahn to dismantle the stand. This is not only for practical reasons, such as obstructed visibility, but also for an important cultural context. The Pasinger Bahnhofsplatz belongs to the extensive framework of Munich's monument protection regulations, which are intended to preserve historical elements in the city. According to the Munich city website The Lower Monument Protection Authority (UDB) is responsible for the preservation and development of this architectural heritage. This is particularly important in a city that will celebrate its 870th birthday in 2028.
In this context, it is also important to know that there are a total of 6,868 architectural monuments and 81 listed ensembles in Munich. The influence of these protective regulations is also reflected in the need for every advertising installation to be approved, which is no different for a sales stand on Bahnhofsplatz. As far as known factors in the city are concerned, the UDB has a good knack for finding the balance between modern life and historical heritage.
All about the loss of clarity
One reason for the complaints is the confusion caused by the new sales stand. The concerned citizen made it clear that it is not just about the visibility of the taxi rank, but also about the safety that could be restored by dismantling the rank. The problems not only affect people with visual and hearing impairments, but also all travelers at the train station.
The BA members also emphasize that the escape routes and fire brigade installation areas should be checked. In addition, the city's disability officer will be involved to review the route for the blind. It is therefore clear that the city of Munich is required to find far-reaching solutions in this matter and to ensure the safety of all passers-by. There really is something there!
The current situation shows how important cooperation between citizens, the city administration and the monument protection department is. It will be interesting to see how the debate surrounding the stand develops and whether the CSU parliamentary group can enforce its urgency to remove the stand.
