65 years is now one of the hörnle mountain railway in Bad Kohlgrub. It is considered to be obsolete, yet it is a cult somehow. Now, there are Considerations for a new building.
Bad Kohlgrub – It would have not missed much, and the discussion would have gone on until after midnight. Ultimately 20 minutes were missing. So that was also good. What are the approximately 130 cabbage Gruber discussed at the town meeting on Thursday evening on the way home intensive, it was difficult to digestible food for the night – namely, the question of whether and how the good old Hörnle-Schwebebahn is to be brought to a new level. The discussion is now open.
It’s a own the info needed in the evening for the presentation of the master plan. That mayor Franz Degele presented his report, the presentation of the parish finances by Treasurer Markus Ehegartner and the tourism-Overview of the Ammergau-Alps-in-chief Florian Hoffrohne not proved to be happy. So it was very late. Several times of the town hall, the chief tried to do, “that we are only at the beginning of the discussion about a possible concept to speak and still nothing is decided.” In fact, it was very clear this evening, that the opinions are divided, to a new construction of the hörnle mountain railway. Two comments: “We can no longer continue with the old Glumb more” (plant Manager Michael Hibler) – “75 percent of the landowners in the presentation of the master plan clearly said no. Thus, s can be no new building“ (Martin Fend).
In a short introduction, the mayor Degele stated that the creation of the master plan had already been 2016 by the municipal Council decided: “We need to think about a future solution, because the monorail is now 65 years old. There are aches and pains in the back and the front. According to the current info in the evening, we want to involve the citizens, that they circle about possible solutions to make a work of thought.“
Clear words of Jacob, Woermann found then from the tax office in the place in his analysis of the situation. In the case of the Hörnle mountain, it was a limited partnership. 97 per cent of the shares belong to the municipality, which carry all the losses. A renovation Woermann quantified on a financial effort of more than 200 000 euros, with a rope and drive the engine (about 50 000 Euro) would be the two main items. Through urgently needed improvements to the mountain and in the valley, as well as a new PistenBully the amount of investment, and will accommodate according to Woermann to 315 000 Euro. Money that the municipality has not. The annual audits by the TÜV would only lead to a “tolerance behavior of the test engineers,” because in the discussions on the new construction plans would be noted. Woermann, literally, “The interests of operational safety, the TÜV and the requirements of the government risk an almost daily adjustment of the railway operation.” During a visit of a representative of the government of upper Bavaria, Bad Kohlgrub this have announced that a continuation of the current Situation, the safety of operation.
extensive and detailed information Christian Weiler explained then by the planning office Klenkhart & Partner in Absam/Tyrol, a state analysis of the systems in Bad Kohlgrub: Hörnle unique views mountain, chairlift obsolete, no snow reliability of the ski slopes, hörnle hut without any modern Standard, crowded Hiking trails. In the case of a new railway hamlet pleaded for a closed cabin lift for ten people: “That would be the best solution.” Further pillars of the Plan would be, according to hamlet, a new valley and mountain station, and 500 additional Parking spaces, a new toboggan run and two signposted routes to the peak for hikers.
Detailed as the third speaker Christoph Woermann on calculations of a new hörnle railway. The total-Invest it amounted to 21.5 million euros. In the case of a planned, 30-percent promotion (“It has been in talks with the state government”) in the amount of 6.5 million Euro to 15.0 million Euro remained.

As the expected sales proceeds of the tax professional called an amount of 2.9 million Euro and a net income of EUR 120 000. Woermann finally: “We see no major risks due to the new railway. The above Figures are all calculated to be very careful.“
