Crisis mood in Unterhaching: Stadium has to get fit for Ravens game!

Unterhaching, Deutschland - The SpVgg Unterhaching faces an urgent challenge to make the Football game of Munich Ravens possible on June 15th in the sports park. There are currently considerable security deficiencies in the stadium that have to be fixed quickly. The Unterhachingen Association is only a tenant of the facility and plans to buy it. But big cracks in the east stand and a problematic power supply ensure additional difficulties. In addition, the showers in the stadium are currently closed due to the risk of legionella, which is a health risk for athletes and guests.

The municipality of Unterhaching has leased the stadium to SpVgg Unterhaching for decades, with a maintenance requirement being anchored in the lease. Allegations indicate that Haching Sportpark GmbH, a subsidiary of the SpVgg, has not properly fulfilled its duties as a tenant. This could have serious consequences for the future use of the system.

risk of legionella and their effects

legionella that are responsible for the legionnaire disease represent a significant health risk. These bacteria can cause flu -like symptoms and even cause fatal courses. Sports facilities are obliged to avoid the spread of legionella. The risks often arise from water, which is converted into lung aerosols, as is the case when showering. Therefore, shower systems in sports facilities have to be checked annually for germ freedom to minimize potential dangers, such as hfv-online.de

A current examination regarding the risk of legionella shows that the corona pandemic in particular has led to closure or usage restriction of many sports facilities. This temporary non-use can lead to the germination of drinking water systems, since the regular exchange in water pipes is no longer ensured. The Drinking Water Ordinance requires that withdrawal points are used or rinsed every 72 hours at the latest to avoid microbiological germination, such as Landesportbund-hessen.de describes.

The situation of the SpVgg Unterhaching is both a challenge and an important reminder to all operators of sports facilities, always pay attention to the safety and health of their athletes and guests. It remains to be seen how quickly the necessary steps to improve the infrastructure in the Unterhachingen stadium can be initiated.
