New building plans on the market square: Citizens protest against draft!

In the relaxed round at the Advisory Board in Burglesum, this time it was about a hot topic: a planned construction project on the market square. The citizens of the area were invited to express their opinion, but the agenda item "wishes and suggestions" remained unused, as Das BLV . The plans were presented by the Bremen-Nord building office, with René Kotte and architect Philipp Romeiser giving an overview of the existing situation of the development plan 399

An older half -timbered house that tends to the demolition edge is the focus of the discussion. It is in need of renovation that the renovation appears uneconomical. The office for monument preservation was also not able to determine a specific year of construction of the house and showed photos of the heavily taken interior. A new building is to be built on Lesumer Church 6, which includes five residential units with staggered balconies, with sizes of 50 to 60 square meters.

Citizen participation in focus

The early participation of the citizens in construction projects is anchored in the Building Code and was not observed in the current project, as Participant . Citizens are expected to be able to submit their votes to the plans - and that before the official constellation decision. A dialogue between citizens and administration is to be promoted, and their opinions must also be taken into account when weighing up the interests. In the current case, however, no such participation was recognizable as to what the minds heated up.

Citizens from the community expressed their concerns during the presentation; The reactions were rather negative. Ulrike Schnotelt from the Greens found the design to be new. Rainer Tegtmeier saw him as little brave, which led to interrupts from the audience. This critical attitude shows that there is a certain legitimation pressure in city -defining construction projects. Difu emphasizes that such major projects in Germany often encounter violent resistance and the same applies to the current discussions in Burglesum.

ideas and suggestions

The suggestions for the new building were not only accompanied by the criticism. Gastronomer Bekim Dervishaj plans to open an ice cream parlor with outdoor seating that could enrich the offer on the marketplace. At the same time, Karin Seemann-Ruschin brought the idea into the game, a hotel in Worpswede, which contains historical architecture, to win to win inspiration for a more appealing design.

Another hot topic is the demand of the Heimatverein Lesum to be more involved in the planning process. Likewise, more transparency in the legal framework of the decisions is required. A circulation vote is currently underway, in which Martin Hornhues, CDU parliamentary group spokesman, assumes a tight result. These different voices and views once again show how important it is that citizens can contribute and participate in the decisions of their community.
