Demolition of the old synagogue in Gänserndorf: space for new music!

in Gänserndorf it gets down to the matter: The municipal council has decided to tear down the rabbi house and an adjacent neighboring building to make room for a new musician home. The demolition is to take place from Eichamstraße. It is a drastic step, because the historical synagogue in which the extension is located is under monument protection, but only the non -listed parts are affected. Like The KURIER reports , the demolition is estimated with costs of 51,000 euros.

Mayor René Lobner (ÖVP) made it clear that the demolition work has nothing to do with the front part of the synagogue. The Greens, on the other hand, were against the demolition and called for a well -founded concept for the entire former synagogue. Your efforts to delay the vote have been rejected. The demand for a later decision was given to special attention until an overall concept is present.

A house of music is created

The local council has clear plans: At the point where the excavators will soon roll up, a “house of music” is to be created. A new rehearsal room in the courtyard, renovated sanitary facilities and other rooms for instruments and an office are planned. The nature-in-garden office is also housed on Bahnstrasse. Mayor Lobner already carried out a local inspection in which he found that the historical elements of the building were difficult to see. The ceiling is badly damaged and the roof structure should be renovated promptly.

As it turns out, the demolition work is not a standard measure. According to Lower Austrian Nachrichten had come to an end for the year. clears the way for the new plans. The Musikverein also plans to apply for funding, which should make it easier to implement the plans.

financing and further steps

The financing of the renovation is regulated by a third-party deal between the federal, state and community. In autumn, the offers for the various trades in the local council are to be decided. In addition, a lighthouse project for the village and urban renewal was submitted, which could enable further funding for the renovation.

It remains exciting how the plans will develop and whether the "House of Music" will soon find its way into Gänserndorf. The anticipation for this cultural center is noticeable, even if the path there is paved with challenges. But it seems, you have a good hand in the community for the future of your entertainment landscape.
