Construction site chaos in Regensburg: restaurateurs raise the alarm!

Brückstraße, 93047 Regensburg, Deutschland - Something is happening in Regensburg, but not everything is going smoothly. A hotly discussed topic is the extensive construction site in Brückstraße, where the Wiedamann house has been renovated since 2023. The persistent work not only brings crane, scaffolding, containers, noise and dirt with them, but also massively affect the surrounding business and gastronomies, as Mercury reports. The tenant of the Moccabar, Maximilian Türk, is particularly affected by this situation because he had to close due to the construction site. He complains about the lack of accommodation and the poor communication on the part of the city.

The situation is similar in the popular Café Rauscher, which also had to close the goals. Sandra Helgath, the owner of the clothing business "Bavarian Wild", also plans to close. Your complaint about dirt and noise is only one of many that the city has reached. She tells of rejected inquiries to support what the concerns of those affected only reinforce.

lack of communication and incomprehension

The city of Regensburg insists on its proactive communication when it comes to construction sites, but this does not seem to be used in private projects. The restaurateurs around the construction site on the coal market only happened by accident. Josef Schlachfer, the tenant of the El Sombrero, only received information shortly before the start of the construction site. The subsequent withdrawal of his approval for an outdoor seat also brings him into difficulties. The criticism of the defective consideration on the part of the client becomes louder.

Another restaurateur, Freddy Löw from the Pirate Cave, also consider to be considered and is already looking for a successor. The picture that emerges here is one in which the city shows little interest in a timely exchange and observing the concerns of those affected. Anyone who believes here is only a phase that is wrong: it seems to be a general problem.

traffic problems at the train station and new plans

The goal of these redesigns is clear: integration into the all -belt belt, to create as many parking as possible for cars and bicycles and to optimize traffic routing for local public transport. For this purpose, the city has even published a travel diagram that shows the new paths for cars, buses and cyclists. Mixed feedback on the new traffic management, however, show that the changeover of driving habits is perceived by many as challenging.

congestion, especially on the Aegidienplatz, also make navigating through the city uncomfortable. Commuters often look for bypass routes, which usually do not save time. The city has announced that they are checking traffic improvements in certain areas to minimize environmental influences.

Citizen participation and transparent dialogue

However, whether this is sufficient to regain the trust of those affected remains questionable. One thing is clear: there is still a piece of work in front of the city to harmonize the interests of everyone and make the dialogue more sustainable. The details of citizen participation can be found on the official sides of the city.
