Dorfen is planning a new playground statute: bigger, better, social!

In Dorfen, a new design ensures a playground statute for conversation. The Building and Transport Committee recently approved the revised statutes, which was necessary due to the reform of the Bavarian Building Regulations. The aim is to put responsibility for the establishment of playgrounds in the hands of the municipalities. Laut dem Bericht von Merkur erklärte Bauamtsleiter Franz Wandinger, dass die Satzung auf Mustersatzungen des Bayerischen Gemeindetags und Cities day is based and contains clear guidelines for the production and preservation of playing areas.

The new regulations state that a playground has to be detected for buildings with more than five apartments. More precisely, at least 1.5 square meters of playground area are required per 25 square meters of living space, whereby a base area of ​​at least 50 square meters must be taken into account. In addition, these playgrounds must be equipped with a game sand area, locally -resistant play equipment and seating.

discussion about the size of the playgrounds

In the meeting, CSU City Councilor Ludwig Rudolf was particularly concerned about planning small playgrounds. He advocated larger playing areas to meet the social needs of the children. This was supported by other members of the committee round, but there were also critical voices. Barbara Lanzinger (CSU) described the transfer sums that are due in the event of not built playgrounds than too high and warned of the increasing construction costs.

The city has the opportunity to take responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of the playgrounds by the client. In order to concrete the financial burdens, a landing value of 750 euros per square meter is used. From this it follows that the transfer fee for an 80 square meter playground would be around 41,000 euros. This sum is not considered justified by everyone; Andreas Hartl from the GAL criticized the financial consideration and pointed out that playgrounds also perform an important social function.

regulations according to Bavarian building regulations

The Bavarian building code stipulates that undeveloped areas on built -up land must also be taken into account with regard to their greening. For example, areas that are intended for playgrounds must be designed in accordance with Bayern so that they are water-absorption and limited or planted in order to avoid soil seal. These regulations underline the importance of playgrounds as part of a sustainably designed living environment.

The topic of playgrounds is not only of great importance for villages, but also a central element in the entire living area that goes beyond the social issues of children. According to Juraforum , the legal requirements for the planning and maintenance of playgrounds in Germany are comprehensive, and there are clear guidelines for security and accessibility.

The discussion about the draft of the playground statute continues in one of the upcoming city council meetings. A final decision is still pending, and the actors are optimistic that a solution can be found that meets the needs of the villagers.
