The future of a historic farm in Wörthsee is causing discussion
In Wörthsee, the future of an old farm in Auing, which occupies a central place in the local council, is currently being discussed. The historic building, known as Wohnstadelhaus, was built in 1872 and is an outstanding example of the architecture of its time. The Initiative for Biodiversity in Wörthsee, represented by Doja Muggenthaler, recently asked questions about the monument status of this two-story gable roof building with its striking gable facade.
The Office for Monument Protection has classified the courtyard as a monument because the interior has been largely preserved. But the situation is tense: the owners originally considered demolishing the building, which led to an examination by the monument protection office. Mayor Christel Muggenthaler pointed out that the municipality can only point out the preservation of the house. However, there are concerns that the building could be demolished if the economics of maintaining it are not present. Preserving listed properties can prove costly, which further fuels the debate.
Challenges in monument protection
Another important element in the discussion about listed buildings is the balancing act between monument protection and energy-efficient renovation. Like that Fraunhofer Center for Energy-Effective Renovation of Old Buildings explains, the energetic efficiency of buildings is becoming increasingly important. However, a careful approach is required, particularly for historic buildings, to preserve their cultural values while meeting the challenges of climate change.
The municipality of Wörthsee plans to take further steps and would like to find out more about the options for preserving this historic building without having to take legal action. The discussions about the farm in Auing could represent a groundbreaking example for how to deal with similar cases in the region. Will the community succeed in preserving the legacy of the past while finding forward-looking solutions?
In summary, it can be said that the fate of the farm in Wörthsee leaves no one unmoved. Citizens are encouraged to participate in the dialogue about preserving a piece of history, as the future of listed buildings often depends on the determination and commitment of the community.
