New Year's reception of the Greens: Steininger criticizes Bayreuth's development!

The Bayreuth Greens' New Year's reception recently took place in the Cineplex, in the rooftop restaurant Franz & Gloria, and attracted numerous guests. The focus was particularly on Felix Banaszak, the federal chairman of the Green Party, who enhanced the event with his presence and gave those present exciting input on current political issues. Courier reports that Mayoral candidate Sabine Steininger also raised her voice and looked critically at the city's development over the last six years.

Steininger, 59, a native of Bayreuth who has spent her life in the city and is known for her green politics, expressed concern about the regression in Bayreuth. Her decades of involvement, particularly in local politics and as parliamentary group leader of the Greens and Independents, give her deep insight into the challenges facing the city. She has defined urban development as one of the central themes of her campaign and is calling for more progress and clarity. Your homepage describes that she is committed to important projects such as renovating schools, ensuring cultural identity and the importance of climate protection.

Criticism of the city administration

Steininger specifically addressed the plans of Mayor Thomas Ebersberger (CSU), which envisaged building a new clinic at a new location on the A9. However, these plans were problematic because the required land was not owned by the city. The return to the original plans led to considerable financial difficulties for Klinikum Bayreuth GmbH, which is why the construction reserve had to be liquidated in order to cover operating deficits.

“In Bayreuth there was regression instead of progress,” stated Steininger and called for a clear change of course in urban development. Through urban planning, resources can be used more efficiently and the quality of life of citizens can be increased. Current studies, such as those from Federal Environment Agency, show that sustainable urban development can play a crucial role in reducing resource consumption. The design of buildings and infrastructure has a direct influence on the environment and the living conditions of the population.

A vision for Bayreuth

Steininger has clearly set itself the goal of actively meeting challenges such as climate protection and summer heat. Among other things, she wants to promote the implementation of the climate protection concept, renovate urban properties and promote biodiversity. She also emphasizes the aspect of security in the city and the cooperation between the police and security services.

Furthermore, she rejects the sale of urban land for budget consolidation and instead favors handing it over to investors on a ground lease basis. “It is important that we network and promote the city’s cultural institutions in order to strengthen economic impulses,” said Steininger. With her experience from over a decade in local politics and her passion for citizen concerns, Steininger has a clear plan for the future of Bayreuth.

The elections are approaching, and as she promises in her imagination, now is the opportunity to actively shape the future - for a Bayreuth worth living in that not only meets today's requirements, but is also well positioned for future generations.
