Red alarm level: shelter in Bavaria - only 1% of the population protected!
In the districts of Altötting, Mühldorf, Traunstein, Berchtesgadener Land and Rosenheim, the focus is on an urgent topic: the lack of availability of shelters for the population. As Innsalzach24 have reported only 1% of the citizens in this region A place in public bunkers. In view of the geostrategic developments and the past conflicts, this represents an alarming situation.
The research not only show a massive lack of shelters, but also ambiguities in terms of responsibilities and data. While the district offices refer to the federal government, many municipalities are confronted with indebted shelters that are officially still on lists of the Interior Ministry. In the district of Altötting, for example, the district office no longer reported on public protection rooms. The Traunstein case raises similar questions: there is no more active shelter in Traunreut here, whose condition raises questions.
unclear responsibilities and lousy maintenance
A look at the actual situation of the shelters makes it clear that there are some things in the arga. According to the data, the region comprises a total of 20 shelters with 849 protective places, which only protects 1% of the population. It is particularly striking that only 0.10% of the citizens can count on one place in Rosenheim. Most of the shelters have not been waited for over 20 years, which questions their functionality.
In the interests of the federal government, the federal government largely abandoned responsibility for the shelter concept, which led to the removal of many shelters. Since then, the question has arisen how the security of the population can be guaranteed. Another problem is that responsibilities for the operation and maintenance of the shelters are still unclear even after more than a decade. While the BIMA, which has been responsible for the management since 2020, has an inventory of all publicly dedicated shelter, numerous questions are still open.measures for the future
In the context of current efforts, a sub -work group was launched that works on a new shelter concept. The results of this process are to be presented in the summer of 2025. The aim is to increase the security of the citizens and take suitable precautions. For 2026, the federal government is planning a pilot funding of up to one million protective positions in the federal budget, which could be very well received.
With the inventory and the possible reactivation of the shelters, the BIMA has taken a first step. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen to what extent these measures can actually take effect and the course can be set for a safe future. In order to update the security concept of the Federal Republic in a changing environment, however, a comprehensive strategy is required that also takes into account geopolitical developments.
The discussion about shelter is anything but completed. The population should actively participate in these topics, because it is about their security. Whether the planned changes will show the desired effects will first have to prove in the implementation. The need for more clarity, concrete measures and a reliable infrastructure is more urgent than ever.
