Bowling in Kyritz: Twins lose clubs - what happens now?

In Kyritz, the image of a painful reality for local sport shows: The bowling club Schwarz-Weiß must have its bowling alley building down behind the cultural heart of the city, the cultural center. How maz-online.de reports, the building is classified as torture, which for the young bowlers Lucie and Pauline Timm, who celebrate success nationwide, relocates training to Neustadt. A painful loss for the two talents that are among the top ten bowlers in Germany.

The chairman Karsten Adam is faced with the challenge of continuing the club without its own venue. Nevertheless, the association is resilient and may be planning a merger with the Neustadt bowling club. A difficult step, because the bowling alley was built in the 1970s and has shaped many generations as a community.

demolition and financial hurdles

The challenges are more than just a structural nature. From a leaky roof that endangers security, over a switched -down heater - the high running costs can no longer be borne. The cost of electricity from 42 euros has risen to 300 euros and for gas from 245 euros to 770 euros. In addition, there is a harmful mold that was determined, which means that no more investments are possible.

In the discussion about the preservation of the bowling alley, Adam pushes to the city of Kyritz on the return of the hereditary lease. "The city administration has no information about the future of the bowling alley after July 1st," he emphasizes.

a broader problem

This local problem is reflected in a comprehensive problem that can be felt in many German municipalities. The Federal Association of Local Associations warns of a massive renovation backlog and emphasizes that the neglected infrastructure, such as dilapidated bridges and inadequate public buildings, limits the quality of life of the citizens considerably. Immobilienbaurecht.de clarifies that the municipalities are faced with enormous financial challenges in order to implement necessary investments and receive hardly any support.

This can also be seen against the background that according to a report of the SPIEGEL miss. A creative approach is needed to initiate extensive investments and to secure the quality of life in the municipalities.

The situation in Kyritz shows how local sports communities have to fight with the challenges of structural neglect. Lucie and Pauline Timm will continue to fight for their club and city outside of Kyritz - in the hope that the right decisions for the infrastructure will soon be made, which will benefit both sport and the citizens.
