Büdingen's free voters: Alternative mourning hall instead of Remigiuskirche

In the city of Büdingen, there is a need in the room to create an alternative to the currently unused St. Remigius Church. This discussion was initiated by the Free Voters (FWG) who bring the construction of a new mourning hall into play. The Remigiuskirche, an important cultural monument, is currently closed due to urgently needed renovations. This triggers questions about the dignity and appropriateness of funeral celebrations in the city.

renovation and future of the Remigiuskirche

The latest reports on the renovation of the Remigiuskirche indicate that the process could take longer than initially assumed. The FWG emphasizes that the church may remain closed for several years, which is an intolerable situation for the city of Büdingen and its residents. The renovation process is associated with enormous uncertainties, since both the costs and the time frame are still unclear.

emergency protection and efforts for a quick solution

The FWG sees the need for emergency protection as a priority task. Causes regarding the implementation of this measure have been expressed; Experience of the past few months has shown that the reopening of the church is by no means secured. This also leaves the question of whether the city of Büdingen can continue to start a renovation.

Alternative proposal: Construction of a mourning hall

In view of the difficulties with the Remigiuskirche, the FWG proposes to check the feasibility of the construction of a mourning hall. This new institution could not only take over the function of the Remigiuskirche as a place for funerals, but also offer an appropriate, worthy alternative for the relatives. The FWG wants the costs to be planned in the financial year 2025 to enable quick implementation.

worthy funeral celebrations in the focus

A central concern of the FWG is that the funeral celebrations at the Büdingen cemetery can be dignified. The use of the premises of the Evangelical Methodist Church in the past two years has been seen as a helpful solution, but the path over the busy Düdelsheimer Straße symbolizes a challenge that should not be expected to the relatives and mourning communities. Therefore, the reasoning of the FWG is clear: it is urgently offered to find a different solution for the mourning opportunities.

outlook and social responsibility

The conversations about the Remigiuskirche and the proposal for a mourning hall emphasize important social issues, such as the value of places of commemoration and farewell. At a time when the needs of the community are in the foreground, the free voters see the city of Büdingen in responsibility to act promptly. The results of further renovation investigations are expected for September and could continue to heat the discussion.
