bathing Islands way, jump towers density: Many municipalities in Bavaria back to build their baths in it - out of fear of lawsuits. A visit to the Ammersee, where a whole beach had to die.
Munich – The Thermometer at the beach in Dießen am Ammersee is showing 31 degrees, the sun is vertical in the sky, the sweat runs through the forehead. Go to the pier, jump into the water, water temperature: 20 degrees. Gorgeous. What is missing is a centre island to Relax in. 20 years as a sponge here in the District of St. Alban, a simple wooden raft between the two jetties on the Western shore of the lake. For well over a week, the island bath and an additional water slide are gone.
reason is a judgment of the Federal court of justice in November 2017. A woman had sued in 2014 before the regional court of Koblenz, a municipality on damages, because she had caught as a twelve-year-old girl in a municipal swimming pool in a fastening rope to a buoy available. For several minutes she was under water before she was rescued by a Lifeguard. She is disabled as a result of its heavy and in need of care. And she accused the Lifeguards to have dutifully traded.
The case went to the Supreme court, which specified the duties of the Lifeguards and the burden of proof when it hit the hole, reversed. Means For sending thousands of local free, the municipality must demonstrate to the satisfaction of bathrooms, that she is to blame for it.
+ jump tower locked in Herrsching. However, not everyone is interested in the.©To operate the Andrea Jaksch"To the baths more, we would need therefore a permanent supervision," says dießen's town mayor Herbert cherry. Short-hand he came to St. Alban. The thing is important to him. More than 100 000 Euro a lifeguard would have the 11 000 inhabitants of the municipality annually cost. Too much, says cherry. As there was no staff. So the Dießener have built the Lido, a bathing beach back, the raft and slide obtained. Without admission, without supervision between 6 am and 22 PM anyone can go in and out.
Also in the FFB, the topic of hot debate: Popular fun at in the whole of Munich known Pucher sea must die.
"I have great concerns that here soon, shards of glass lying around," says Nora drizzle, sitting on a colorful cloth on the lakeshore. Since Childhood, the mother of three children, comes to St. Alban. That the municipality must prove in the case of their innocence, considers them to be exaggerated. Everyone needs to take care of himself and his children. "The fact that the island is no longer there, is a pity," says the 34-Year-old. Especially for the children.
+ use at your own risk, it is now at the entrance to the beach of St. Alban. The hub is degraded.©Andrea JakschFrank Seiffert sits in his black chef's jacket on the terrace. He is the tenant of the beach, he must get back in the kitchen, a guest ordered a curry sausage. Seiffert now has no Overview of who is in the bathroom. In the past few years, as the turnstile was at the entrance, was able to deny the 50-Year-old Drunk or Pöbler access. Good things he is anyway. He continues to care and waste disposal, the lawn is responsible. "The bathers will change nothing," he assured.
Not only in St. Alban was built back in the last few weeks. Many operators of resorts will waive their Badeattraktionen: On Lechsee in Schongau, to the beach bathrooms Seewinkel in Herrsching and Feldafing on lake Starnberg.
The other way of Seehausener tourism Association, which operates the Lido am Staffelsee goes. For the current season, he has set a third Lifeguard. To block the bathing times without the supervision of the Seehausener the entrances to the walkways, to the diving tower and water slide. "Our guests are allowed to bathe, but should not go over the bridge into the water, but from the shore," says the Association's Chairman Rosemarie Biehler. The day ticket is 50 cents more expensive.
St. Alban's the charge nothing. 20 years nothing Serious happened, says mayor Herbert cherry. He sits on a chair in the café on the beach, turns and looks at the new children's Playground at the rear part of the lawn. Four-Meter-high wooden poles, the suspended ropes, climbing equipment, also there can happen accidents. A supervision doesn't need it for the Playground. "It's too soon," growls cherry. "It's always just a matter of finding a culprit."
