. "Not only the prosecution is concerned with the Leonberger real estate entrepreneur Matthias HEISSNER His firm historical fillets renovated in many municipalities - and that may not always work correctly." goes on to say. "Lack of money is the enemy of the state sovereignty are not only at the federal level, many examples of desirable public policy objectives, from sheer lack of money be put in question. The rehabilitation of historical centers in Baden Wuerttemberg is municipal and local administrations always a noble aim. But
often the funds are simply too empty to redevelop the historic gems themselves.
But the sale involves risks. The best example is a half-timbered houses around the old city hall in the Freiberg district Beihingen. End of 2003, the city decided to sell the four buildings in Neckar road. A renovation would have cost up to 500 000 €. About two dozen developers were contacted, but no one was interested. The only interested party was the real estate company Leonberger Imac. "We were glad we found someone had, "said Freiberger Stadtbaumeister Wolfram Rieger," then these problems were not yet known. "The problems of which speaks Riegler, one part concern the Imac's managing director Matthias HEISSNER. The office is investigating the head of the Leonberger company on suspicion of fraud, embezzlement and insolvency. Heissner and his colleague Erik R. said to have managed through the Imac-daughter theme, the real estate in Baden-Württemberg, embezzled including security deposits. For individual has criminal charges in the meantime an avalanche developed more than 100 injured would have been reported, a spokeswoman with the prosecutor. Problems are Listeners hot real estate company but also a completely different front: She is accused of cheap renovation. Brandt, the couple bought it for around 230 000 euros, the former
Backhäusle next to the old town hall in Freiberg. The historic complex was renovated by the Imac. The facade sporting a new look. But inside there is moisture and mold have taken root. When you enter the house, is greeted by a musty odor. According to a sworn expert of the Chamber of Commerce in the basement walls are damp twice as much as they should be. Instead of the basement of the building complex on the slope
to seal against moisture from the outside, cheaper renovation plaster
was applied. A repair will be according to the Evaluators about 100 000 € cost. After several phone calls
Holger Brandt was told that the general contractor
refuses again to act, because bills were not paid for
Imac. "Mr. HEISSNER told me on the phone that was no longer interested in the whole thing," said Holger Brandt. Because the couple bought the little house not from the iMac, but of a family, try the Brandts, the property owner to the
return. Matthias HEISSNER expressed on the phone not on the allegations. "I wish you just have a nice day," he says - and hangs up. Whether the subject of cheap and rehabilitation to an avalanche increases or remains the single case is still open. An expert on the building scene that does not want to be named in the newspaper, suspects that could be behind such a sloppy restoration work method. If a developer driving prices down far turn, stood at the end of the chain craftsmen who would take a lot of work for very little money - at the expense of quality. "If you hear something like that scares you," says the mayor Rudolf Markgröninger Kürner. The Imac is currently in the process of the country's historic fruit box, a timber-framed building, built in 1468 to redevelop. "From the outside it pleases me very well," says Kürner, "I hope that the inside and everything is done properly." As the country two years ago, the city's house in the Old Town offered to sell, waved them off. We saw no local demand, also had the restoration of Herrenküferei and Wimpelinhaus swallowed shortly before seven million euros. Purely private matter is the fruit box so far, says Kürner. A municipal employee should take a closer look at the building, "and we will evaluate the need for control of the district office will be necessary."
