Opening of Gleis 19: Residents complain about noise and unannounced music!

Gunoldstraße 12, 1190 Wien, Österreich - at Gunoldstraße 12 in Döbling recently the opening of the new open-air equipment location Gleis 19. The event location, which was leased for three years, is planning regular events such as music events and sports units. But the first event immediately caused excitement and some displacements on the part of the residents. According to reports, there were considerable noise complaints, especially due to loud music and bass frequencies that many disturbed in the area. According to [meinzirk.at] (https://www.meinbezirk.at/doebling/c-lokales/neue-eventlocation-gleis-19-sorgte-fuer-fuer-laerm complaints_a7455025) was determined during a check that a music event was carried out without the necessary approval.

The environment apparently not only posed positively for the opening. The MA36 (trade technology and events) intervened and found that the music performance took place without official approval. The organizer was then asked to stop the performance and canceled further events. Now there is criminal proceedings in the room because the advertisement for the event has not been submitted in time. The volume -related provisions were considered necessary by the responsible authority to protect the residents.

permits and noise protection

The topic of noise protection should not be underestimated. According to the Federal Immission Protection Act, noise that has been in force since 1974, harmful environmental effects are to be limited by sounds. Every event that takes place outdoors requires approval if disturbing noises are expected for third parties. These requirements are defined both in the Juraforum as well as in the regulations for the event noise regulation. Events must be of public interest to obtain approval.

For the track 19 line, the matter is clear: the project is an intermediate use with art and cultural focus. Measures announced to improve communication with residents could also contribute to calming down. Those responsible plan information letters to get in touch with the neighbors. A volume limiter has already been installed in the music system to further reduce noise pollution.

The meaning of the dialogue

In order to counter the resentment of the residents, the email address booking.gleis19@proton.me is available as a contact option. This gives the neighbors the chance to communicate their concerns directly and perhaps remove misunderstandings. After all, it lives best in a lively district like Döbling when an open dialogue takes place between thinking attendants and residents.

The challenges associated with the opening of a new event location show once again how important the balance between cultural offer and the rest of the residents is. It is to be hoped that the Gleis 19 will find a way to enable the good business of the events without the neighborhood suffering from it.
