Rewe market in Langerwisch: Dispute over the location and village structure!

In the tranquil community of Michendorf, everything is currently about the planned establishment of a new Rewe market in Langerwisch. These projects ensure plenty of discussion material, both for supporters and opponents. The main advocates of the project are the Ganter architects who have designed a modern shopping center that is supposed to be harmoniously integrated into the village environment. However, the greater interest of the critics focuses on the location and the potential effects on the village structure.

The planned building, which is to be built on the street of peace in the immediate vicinity of the former near-purchase market, raises some questions. Instead, critics suggest an alternative location "on the bypass", a property that belongs to the municipality of Michendorf. Justus Mayser, architect of the project, emphasizes that this location would cause fewer traffic problems, while investors and community representatives want to drive the original project. Mayor Claudia Nowka expresses concerns and describes the proposed alternative location as unsuitable for a shopping market.

location discussion and citizens' meeting

In a recently held citizens' meeting, a new draft was presented, which should better take into account the wishes of the residents. The selection fell on smaller, two -storey buildings that are connected by a single -storey market hall. This could affect the aesthetic impression of new shopping in the village more positively. Nevertheless, there is concern that the dimensions of the planned building - with a sales area of ​​1500 square meters - could affect the village structure.

In addition, critics suggest that the local buying area urgently needed living space, which addresses the problem of housing shortage in Michendorf. After all, the need for apartments in the region is high and alternative usage concepts could close this gap.

municipal policy and financial considerations

An important aspect in the background is the possibility of selling the property "on the bypass". It could bring financial resources to the municipality that could be invested in the development of leisure and sports uses. Lutz Bottin, the investor of the planned Rewe market, makes it clear that the B-plan procedure is already running and therefore there is no communication about other locations.

The B-Plan documents of the project are publicly visible, and the municipality has already introduced change requests for hydrological examination regarding the development of space in the area of ​​the Potsdam motorway triangle. According to the information from [michendorf.de] (https://www.michendorf.de/ page/596983/baufroFe-und-bauungenpl%C3%A4NE.html), the development of large-scale commercial and industrial areas near Berlin is currently being examined, with about 40 hectares of the research area in Michendorf.
