Press release Münchner Merkur: Everything new, but chestnuts remain

Two large buildings with apartments, stores and restaurants are to be erected in Moosinning on the site of the former Maier Wirt.


Maier-Wirt site in Moosinning: winning design presented to the municipal council.

What will become of the Maier-Wirt site in the middle of Moosinning? This question has been on the minds of residents and, above all, local councillors for a few years now. Following a call for tenders, a major step has now been taken. The municipality had received applications and proposals from investors, and the winning design has now been presented to the public at the municipal council meeting. The sale is a done deal.

The “Pelzwirt” closed its doors in 2020 and the municipality of Moosinning bought the entire site a year later. It had lain fallow since then. There were many ideas until the municipality decided to put it up for sale. However, a potential investor must adhere to certain guidelines, which were based on a public consultation.


There will also be a restaurant

A working group first looked at the applications submitted and then presented its decision to the municipal council. Managing Director Silvia Hermansdorfer presented the design of the winning bidder, whose name has not yet been revealed, to the public.


Two buildings are to be built there, with apartments and commercial premises, she explained. “There will also be a restaurant in the eastern building to liven up the square.” And she expressly emphasized: “The chestnut trees will be preserved.” The award winner is also planning to relocate its headquarters there.


According to Hermansdorfer, the award winner was given “full marks” for the fact that a third of the apartments will be one-bedroom apartments, for the lively outdoor area, for the green design, for cisterns to retain rainwater and for the fact that more than 200 square meters of commercial units are planned on the first floor. No points were awarded for the energy standard, “but overall the applicant had the most points,” reported the business manager. The working group then proposed the winner to the municipal council, which approved the sale.


“The working group looked at it intensively and made a unanimous recommendation,” said Mayor Georg Nagler (SPD). Many ideas were taken on board and many aspects were implemented. “I think it is a concept with many points of overlap,” he emphasized. Above all, it was important to preserve the central square and the characteristic chestnut trees.


The only criticism came from Manfred Lex. “For me, the building is too powerful,” said the CSU local councillor. “The municipality of Moosinning should remain a village. It's too oversized for me, I can't get on with it.” And he added: “The building should blend in with its surroundings, but that's not the case here. Maybe in the city, but not here.”


The mayor reassured him and said: “We will support the project and can also intervene if necessary.”
