The Bridge Saint is looking for a new place – Kensingen

The Bridge Saint is looking for a new place – Kensingen

What do you do with the Nepomuk statue? The issue of a small memorial site that needs refurbishment has taken up a lot of space in Hecklingen’s local council.

The small building is in a run-down state and is due to be refurbished as per the will of the local council. The offer received is over €19,000.

After a trip, the sandstone statue has stood in Grosmatt since the agricultural bridge was built and is owned by the city. It is included as a cultural asset worth preserving in the list of monuments in the region. Last year, the CDU parliamentary group applied to have the statue repaired. Undisputed restoration. The Technical Committee referred clarification of the final site question to the Hecklingen Local Council.

There, in plenary session on Wednesday evening, it was again difficult in terms of location. Karl-Martin Schott always has the saint of the bridge in mind as a nearby resident. He sees the current site as a wrong choice and wonders how the CDU representatives justify their change of mind and suddenly agree to the restoration. David Striegel responded to “a trivial argument”, finally crafting a viable compromise for a vote on where the old or the new would be. The administration’s proposal to place a sandstone statue in the church was rejected unanimously. The priority list leads to the old road to Kenzingen in the bend area near Federal Road 3. It is also easy to imagine the old site or the Altes Grün public park in the city center. Instead, the wooden bridge in Unnental was put up for discussion, as the monument to the Bohemian priest and martyr should remain “in the village”.

What does cost estimation include? Without more information, the bare sum is worthless, especially since Robert Arnitz strongly questioned the sum. The small memorial is tilted at least five percent in the area of ​​the base. 30,000 euros add up quickly. Feature: Minimum eligible projects exceeded.

The city was tasked with determining the cost of the copy. Only if Nepomuk remains within Hecklinger County is the commission willing to make a contribution from available funds. Mayor Berthold Seng will renegotiate these terms at Kinzinger City Hall. The Board intends to deal with the final decision at a later date.
