"Confusion Tormenting: Landlady and Gardener Worry for Their Safety"
In the heart of Munich's Concordia Park, the beloved beer garden, "Die Wally," faces an uncertain future as its lease has come to an end. For ten years, Marion Zierer, the landlady of "Die Wally," has nurtured the venue's reputation for live music, a vast food selection, and a loyal customer base. Her plea remains clear: "We will continue to fight!"
Zierer's determination stems from the potential impact on her livelihood and that of her dedicated employees. The lease expired in March, leaving her in a precarious position. The men's singing club (MGV) Concordia, the original lessor, announced its dissolution over three years ago, leaving the lease in limbo.
The fate of "Die Wally" is not isolated. Thirty-eight small gardens in Concordia Park also rely on the lease agreement. One of these gardens belongs to Richard Schildberger, who has owned his plot for thirty years. He cherishes it as a place where his grandchildren can play and grow up surrounded by nature.
The city of Munich and the Free State have yet to reach an agreement with the club regarding the lease. The main reason for the delay is the debts that the city would have had to take over from the club. However, Mayor Reiter's email response indicates that negotiations with the Free State of Bavaria regarding the rental of Concordia Park areas are ongoing.
The Concordia Park, known as a green lung in the city of Gern, is a vital part of the community. Its loss would not only affect the local businesses but also the overall atmosphere of the park. Zierer has ideas for events and offers for "Die Wally" that could help revitalise the venue and the park, should the lease be renewed.
As the situation stands, the future of "Die Wally" and the small gardens in Concordia Park remains uncertain. For now, Zierer and the other garden owners can only hope for a resolution that ensures their continued operation and the preservation of Concordia Park's unique charm.
Marion Zierer, exploring alternative avenues for "Die Wally," sees potential in real-estate investments to secure her business and the jobs of her employees. Meanwhile, Richard Schildberger, another Concordia Park landowner, wants to protect not only his investment but also the natural environment and family ties associated with his garden plot.
