Citizens protest against Südpack residential complex: resentment in Ochsenhausen!

In the small community of Ochsenhausen, a planned construction project by Südpack ensures resentment and skepticism among residents. The company plans to build a residential complex with 60 to 80 residential units only for employees between Jägerstraße and Hexenweg. However, the agenda item on the matter was discontinued at the last meeting of the local council, since legal details still have to be clarified in the urban development contract. Mayor Philipp Bürkle made it clear that a vote on an unsuitable contract made no sense, which led to the annoyance of many citizens. Some residents left the hall angry during the session.

In the residents' question, citizens criticized the insufficient information on information and expressed concerns about the planned residential complex. It was particularly criticized that a sketch of the project was not included in the session template, although Bürkle said that a project presentation from Südpack was planned. A resident directed her displeasure against the possibility that the area for only a few single -family houses could give way to such a large residential complex.

concerns of the residents

strongly concerned, the residents expressed their fears about the amount of the planned buildings. Some fear that the intended development could be disproportionately high. Therefore, they called for a comprehensive information event to find out thoroughly about the details of the project before a final decision. According to Südpack's ideas, the planned residential complex is to be used to create living space for the company's employees.

The scope of the development plan includes several parcels that adapt directly to the company premises. While the western part of this area is designated as a construction area in the mixing area, the eastern part in the development plan "Jägerstraße II" is defined as a green area. Mayor Bürkle also emphasized the need for the project to fit in the overall structure, which excludes the construction of a 20-story high-rise building.

future discussions

The municipal council of Ochsenhausen will soon deal with the topic again. Another meeting will take place tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in the fire brigade house in the direction of Reinstetten, where the topic of the project -related development plan for a "special area of ​​company living" is on the agenda. Some residents have already expressed their dissatisfaction with the construction and plan to comment on the residents' question hours. This form of citizen participation remains in Ochsenhausen, in contrast to the Biberacher Citizens' question hour, which was abolished.

The case in Ochsenhausen is part of a major discussion on urban development and the requirements for living and commercial space. In cities like Berlin, urban development plans are being developed to solve space competitions at an early stage and to control the need for living space. These plans are intended to optimize the infrastructural utilization and at the same time protect landscape and freedom, which is also transferable to the challenges in Ochsenhausen, where local requirements and the expectations of citizens must be in line.
