The BA Allach-Untermenzing is calling for measures to improve hygiene at the Allach S-Bahn station in order to ensure public services.
Scandal at the Allach S-Bahn station: City should finally address hygiene problems!
The Allach-Untermenzing district has had enough of the intolerable conditions at the Allach S-Bahn station. After persistent complaints about disgusting smells of urine and garbage, the district committee (BA) recently made an urgent appeal to finally take action here. How Hello Munich reports, the BA unanimously calls on the city to have the covered bicycle parking area and the access to the underground car park at the S-Bahn station thoroughly cleaned. One can no longer accept that the situation is described as a “tendency towards neglect” and a significant hygiene problem.
The initiative for sustainable improvements at the S-Bahn station and the nearby Oertelplatz is undisputed. Politicians emphasize that regularly cleaned infrastructure is part of basic public services. “The people here have the right to a clean environment,” it continues. Another important concern is the demand for a public toilet facility at the train station, which was already put forward in 2022 and has now been put back on the agenda.
Transport hub under pressure
The Allach S-Bahn station is a central transport hub in the district and is highly frequented. Every day, commuters, residents and visitors use the area around the station and the EVER.S shopping center for their daily journeys - be it to work, shopping or simply as a meeting point. As in a report by Weekly Gazette can be read, the current hygienic condition not only leads to an unpleasant image of the public space, but could also contribute to damaging the reputation of the district.
The costs and forms of financing of these public services are often the topic of discussion among citizens. The Federal Ministry of Transport, Construction and Housing warns in a brochure that essential services such as hygiene infrastructure must be modeled across the board and cost-effectively in order to meet the ever-increasing demands due to demographic change. Cities and communities in particular, like Allach, are under pressure to design their infrastructure flexibly.
The district has a clear stance – something has to happen here! The BA's demands are not only a bang for the city administration, but also a signal to the population that their concerns are being taken seriously. The citizens of Allach deserve to have their quality of life guaranteed, not least through hygienically perfect public spaces.
