Café brick: Opening is delayed - frustration with the sisters!

Am Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz in Munich there is news that dampens the anticipation for the new "café brick". Actually, the café, operated by the sisters Alexa and Laura Steinke, should have been opened this week. Instead, the doors of the future Beisel are still closed and the house in need of renovation in the park is currently a shadow of its own. According to the evening newspaper Pleasing: there is still a lot to do before the café can finally receive guests.

The planning was promising: the café should be a popular meeting place in the park, with offers such as soup, bowls, tarte flambé, beer, children's specials, coffee, cake and the popular Aperol Spritz. But reality looks different. "It's complicated, but we are on the home stretch," says Alexa Steinke, but it is clear that summer operation is no longer feasible.

permits and delays

The Sisters Steinke have been fighting for the implementation of their project for two years and have already won the tender during this time. Nevertheless, the building application has been with the local construction commission (LBK) for a year without the hoped -for approval being received. According to tz, the Steinke-Sisters have expressed frustration with the delays. The planning presentation has announced that the building permit was “recently” sent, but nothing had arrived at the sisters until the editorial deadline.

once approved, the work in need of renovation should take at least six months. New windows and doors, a toilet system and the expansion of a glazed roof terrace are planned. New requirements must also be met as to be the regulation for rainwater dissipation before the construction work can begin.

a meeting point for the community

Despite the discouraging facts, the goal of the operators remains clear: to create a livable meeting point in the park for the Munich population who lives up for social life in the area, especially with regard to urban development, which, according to [our Munich] (https://unser.muenchen.de/stadtentwicklung-und--- und-Bauen), strives for a high quality of life.

With a warm "hello", the Munich team should be invited to the café brick. But until then, the sisters only have to keep their fingers crossed and wait for a timely approval so that you may finally be able to welcome guests next spring. In the meantime, the residents can only enjoy the idea of ​​what could be created one day.
