A request from the CSU group is called the landscape Park, in Blumenau, “the most valuable area of settlement”. With the extension of the subway line 5, there should be a new junction in the direction of the landscape Park. Environmentalists fear that the new subway could branch arouse desires in a new part of the city. the Thomas calls
A Kestrel sits in a tree and gazes into the distance, from as Far as the warbling of a Skylark. Two cyclists pass by in the direction of the West, on a Park bench, a young woman enjoys the spring sun. The city seems to be far away, on the horizon a Church. And yet, this particular landscape, the castle, the size of the Nymphenburg Park, in the heart of Munich.
Who lives in Blumenau, in Laim or Pasing, often not even that to the West of the Willi is soon road, a huge landscape Park. It is the meadows, a mixture of orchard and Farmland, a tree nursery and small forest pieces. A quarter-century ago, the city Council has declared the rural-seeming area of the landscape Park, the Area should not be built on. With the time the plans were forgotten. Now, however, conservationists are alarmed. In an application of the CSU fraction, the talk is suddenly of “most valuable area of settlement”.
Martin Hansel sits hunched in his office on a map. “You are not allowed to cultivate, the area can withstand any moderate building,” says the Deputy managing Director of the Federal nature conservation in Munich. Hansel refers not only to the ecological diversity of the area, the tree frogs occur as well as rare birds. “It is also an important cold air corridor,” says the conservationist. On the current Munich climate function map of the vast territory between the forest of lochhamer precipitation in the southwest, and the Agnes-Bernauer-Strasse in the North is colored deep green, very much the cool and fresh air is transported in the direction of downtown.
Already in 1992 there was a proposal for a decision of the building Commission, that the Area “of its use as a recreational area, the ecological compensation function (exchange of air, the cooling effect due to cold-air production, removal and prevention of inversion layers), the habitat function and the agricultural use” should serve. Built on the territory should not be. This is still true today. However, with the extension of the metro line 5, after Pasing it should now be at the Willi soon road is a turnoff to the South – in the direction of the landscape Park.
A subway train that ends in the Green? Can’t imagine conservationists Hansel, even if he would welcome that in principle. Of Munich who do not live in the immediate vicinity could reach, the landscape Park. The area could serve as a recreation area for Munich, “English garden for the West,” says Hansel. The SPD in mind. “The entire green corridor is to be developed as a landscape Park enhanced and better,” SPD-councillor Christian Müller, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the Pasing district Committee. The grounds should also be connected better with the Pasinger city Park, the tree nursery and perennials garden to be included, according to the will of the SPD in the West of Munich in the concept. “The site is back up as a green lung to and of building free hold”, demands Müller.

But Hansel feared that with the metro branch, which will initially consist only of a so-called expansion construction at the future station Willi soon road, also desires to be awakened to a new part of the city. Although, to be created according to a city Council decision with the junction, only the possibility that the subway might one day maybe be up in the Blumenau extended. However, there have been Considerations to move the tree school, which is located in the landscape Park on municipal land, and to build there homes. “Whether it’s residential potential in the area of urban tree school are available, is currently being tested,” according to Ingo Trömer from the planning unit. A building in the green area of Laimer district Committee, as well as the SPD and the greens refuse in Rags.
The city Council is already thinking about the landscape Park, a designated area as a large urban Park system redesign. “In some areas there will be able to land a new sports and swimming ponds,” it says in a SPD-request from last November. The CSU wants to turn in your application by the January of the administration to check how the site “used as a Park for recreation and as a green lung which can be removed. Of this site is to be created in a green corridor providing a connection with the Pasinger city Park”. In a request, the CSU requested recently to create a Radverbindung of Pasing “about the newly created Park at the Park”.
unlike the SPD can imagine the CSU, a portion of the existing green lands with residential development. Martin Hansel warns against such fantasies: “the need to maintain the entire area as a landscape Park, nothing has changed.” Especially in a fast-growing urban areas to be green is increasingly important. For the population in Laim this is particularly true: The district has only a share of three percent of green, only the Isar – Ludwigsvorstadt have even less (2.9 percent). Also, Rag has only 3.5 per cent of green areas on its territory. Edge of the city means not necessarily that the people living there in the midst of nature.
