Big trouble for a lack of sports hall: Meißen has been waiting for years!

Today, a lot has moved on the Ludwig Richter-Berg in Meißen. Mayor Markus Renner and headmistress Heike Zimmer met on a brache area that was once intended as a location for an urgently needed three -field sports hall. The city has already invested 90,000 euros in the building clearance, but a lack of funding from the country brakes the construction. How sächsische.de reports, it remains unclear whether there will be a promise until the summer vacation.

In the meantime, the constant construction prices have raised the project to an estimated volume of ten million euros. While the city of Meißen already provides four million euros in the household, a further six million is hoped for from the country's school building funding. The pressure is growing because the students and teachers suffer from the inconvenience that are associated with the lack of their own sports hall. The physical education must take place in seven different locations, which makes everyday life considerably more difficult for everyone involved.

a location disadvantage with consequences

Headmistress Zimmer emphasizes how serious the situation is and describes the missing hall as the "extreme location disadvantage". The indoor capacities at the Landesgymnasium are also very limited, which means that sports lessons for the 5th and 6th grades can only take place in a hall that is too small. This development not only has an impact on physical education, but also makes it difficult to carry out sports festivals and competitions without your own gym.

The resentment about the long discussion about the sports hall, which has been conducted for over 30 years, also loud from parent representatives. Astrid Winkler, Chair of the Parents' Council, emphasized that driving the children to various sports facilities was not only time -consuming, but also disabled the personal development of the students. The situation becomes particularly dramatic when you consider that the construction period for the new three -field hall is estimated at about two years. Whether all alternative financing options have really been exhausted by the city.

political voices and solutions

The question arises politically whether the priorities between new school building and sports hall are correctly set. Member of the state parliament Daniela Kugu from the CDU has expressed concerns. Nevertheless, there is a broad consensus in the city about the urgent need for the new sports hall. The mayor sees a financing of the new building by the city itself as a possible option, should the current situation not clarify as soon as possible.
In order to take into account the importance of sports facilities, the Investment pact sports facilities , as decisive for the healthy development of communities. They promote community sense and are indispensable places for movement and encounter.

The city of Meißen also promotes civil engagement and investment projects through various programs. This also includes financial support that should serve to revive and upgrade quarters.
