No betting office / betting shop in Munich's heritage-protected Olympic Village of 1972!

Petition addressed to: Mayor of the City of Munich, City Council of the City of Munich, Local Building Commission of the City of Munich, Trade Supervisory Office of the City of Munich

It currently appears to be true that the 1972 Olympic Village in Munich, which is a heritage-listed complex (entry no. E-1-62-000-70 “Olympic Park Ensemble” in the Munich list of monuments of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation) – specifically in the building at Helene-Mayer-Ring 14, 80809 Munich – will become home to a betting office or betting shop.

In the opinion and personal conviction of the initiator and other co-initiators, this is highly likely to have negative and far-reaching effects on this special historic, listed and family-friendly residential area (awarded in the City of Munich's “Child and Family-Friendly Residential Complex 2006” competition; Source: EIG Olympiadorf e.V. - https://eig-olympiadorf.de/leben-im-olympiadorf/#kinderfreundliches-dorf).

We, as neighbors and residents, therefore demand:

• The revocation of the operating license granted for the betting office currently under construction and,
• in future, greater and better consideration of the special character of this family-friendly (think in particular of the complete absence of cars!), pure and heritage-listed (and possibly on its way to becoming a World Heritage Site!) residential area, with kindergartens, daycare centers, schools, children's and youth (sports) clubs, and church children's and youth groups located in the immediate vicinity of the planned location of the betting shop/betting office (as the crow flies: max. 150 meters - Nadischule, Nadistr. 3; minimum: 50 meters – directly opposite: Catholic and Protestant church center, Helene-Mayer-Ring 23 – source of measurements: Google Maps)!
