Starting signal after 25 years

Yesterday at noon, the official starting signal was given for what, at 3.8 million euros, has been the most expensive single project in the district of bamberg in recent years: the widening of the district road that runs through the buttenheim district of stackendorf. A project about which the decision-makers have been racking their brains for the past 25 years…
As proof, county chief gunther denzler had the copy of the FT article of 28. November 1987. As can be read there, mdl philipp vollkommer also made a stop in stackendorf during his district tour. There, mayor friedrich kauer explained that they were striving for a new road layout for the local thoroughfare in order to achieve more traffic safety.

The problem: the deichselbach practically divides the county road BA 12, the roadway for one direction is to the west, the other to the east of the creek. On the western side there is no sidewalk. All local traffic, including heavy goods traffic, will travel on the divided state highway. As denzler recalled, there had been efforts to merge the two halves of the roadway, and consequently to "move" the stream. As denzler explained, a lot of water flowed down during the planning process, and plans were made back and forth. "Now the stream stays where it is", noted denzler.
