Amberg discusses: Citizens' initiative against brutal architecture in the old town

In the current issue of the Amberger Zeitung, which was published on August 29, 2024, an article by Wolfgang Ruppert is discussed, which deals with the reaction of the IG Humane City to the discussion in the holiday committee. The city of Amberg has now officially commented on the points raised therein.

On July 26, 2021, the Amberg city council unanimously decided to approve the citizens' initiative “No brutal architecture in the historic old town”. This citizens' initiative was initiated by a group of citizens who spoke out against the continuation of the Amberg 155 “Citizens Hospital Area II” development plan process. Their goal was to initiate a new procedure that would provide for a participatory process involving urban planners who specialize in monument and climate protection.

Details about the citizens' initiative

The vote on the citizens' initiative took place on September 26, 2021. The necessary majority was achieved, which means that the citizens' concerns were heard. The city administration has emphasized that it takes citizens' concerns seriously and is ready to enter into dialogue in order to shape the city's development in accordance with the wishes of the population.

The discussion about the architecture in the old town of Amberg is not new. Many citizens are concerned about the impact of modern construction methods on the historic cityscape. The city government is committed to addressing citizen concerns and promoting a transparent process that includes all relevant voices.
