This mini Golf facility is a monument?

Three generations of the limmattal inside and Limmat valleys have tried on this plant, to sink small, hard balls, and instead in a high arc out into the Meadow next door set. After that, you have to look in admiration to the professionals, as they unsheathed from their suitcase Ball for Ball, the pants rubbed, and then in a train to have locked up. You have set here on the edge of the Marmori-pond in the small Bistro and a Glace eaten. And for the Rest of the Sundays the good feeling to have the Sport operated.

This should now be final. In 1967, commissioned in 18-hole mini-Golf course mill Matt on the edge of the town is to be closed. In January, when it became known that the building is due to expire real contract with the tenant, it was still a Moment then, as if the town is turning on. In response to a small request of the EPP-municipal Councilor Manuela Ehmann, the city Council wrote: "Due to the gently sloping, beautiful location on the banks of the Marmori-mere, and of the importance of the 50-year-old mini-Golf course is a purchase of the (...) estate (...) through the city is quite worthy of examination."

Three million francs in market value

Ehmann double then with a postulate, but as the purchase price was known, made the city backed down: The number of three million francs in market value of the round. In addition, the time was suddenly scarce, because of the long-standing operator of the facility and the owner, the Valais, institutional real estate companies Primobilia, agreed to let the construction contract by the year 2020, leakage. Too early for the mills of politics grind notoriously slowly. Resigned councillor Ehmann moved back to the postulate.

But then came out of the blue sky, a glimmer of hope from the amazing page: mid-October, reported the "Limmattaler Zeitung" that the cantonal monument preservation have included the mini Golf course in your inventory. That means no protection. But in the case of construction projects you will join in the conversation.

generations have spent here on this plant your Sundays.

The timing was probably a coincidence. In the inventory of the Canton of diving under the fixing date 13. September 2019, numerous objects under the Limmattaler district of the capital on. Apparently, the people responsible for the monument maintenance cycle, according to a tour in Dietikon made and are on the mini Golf to your attention.

Regional importance

The historic preservation comes to the conclusion: regional importance. Protective purpose: "Substantial receipt of all 18 mini Golf courses in your location, method of construction, in concrete, as well as the associated facilities, including a mushroom lamp, metal stand with Desk pads and waste bins." Typical sixties just. More substantial"the Park-like landscaping, the concrete slabs and levels, as well as the terrace area at the kiosk buildings must stay" receive. This is likely to be tricky, if the historic preservation wants to hold on to these claims.

Although only 1400 square meters, the 3500-square-meter area of land, but as the construction of the planned eight to ten great rental properties there wants to bring, without affecting the mini-Golf course, it is hard to imagine.

Petition and postulate

Manuela Ehmann suddenly sees a Chance for her concern:"We have gained time." Because discussions with the historic preservation have shown, that a permit for demolition is unlikely. The sounds, at least according to the courts, and the cost of time. The could benefit the city Council, to rethink, again, whether this mini-Golf is one of the Dietiker cultural heritage.

"The signature collection is going well."Manuela Ehmann, local politician,

It was also established a community of interest that has started a Petition. "It's going great," says Ehmann. To date 560 people have placed their signatures on the signature sheets, 1333 have you supported online.
