In Wels, five rules are intended to improve the peaceful coexistence of 128 different nationalities. A point in the house rules also targets children who are too noisy on playgrounds. This call caused much resentment.
A total of 128 nationalities live in Wels. In order to better regulate living together and improve the quality of life, the city has drawn up house rules with five rules. The goal is to use the slogan “Throw it away cleanly!” to counteract. The second place in the house rules is “Red ma Deutsch!”. “The common language should avoid conflicts and misunderstandings,” said FP Mayor Andreas Rabl.
“Waiting for the queue has become a national sport”
“The common language should avoid conflicts and misunderstandings,” said FP Mayor Andreas Rabl, who also insists on compliance with the “Be attentive!” and “Be kind”. Suspension has become a national sport, as has recklessness on the road, citizens said in their complaints. People are convinced that small friendly gestures towards fellow human beings can have a big effect.
“Mach can noise” sparks discussions
Outrage was sparked by the ‘Make a noise’ rule, which targets, among other things, the ‘continuous screaming’ of children or young people playing on playgrounds, residential areas or parks. “The closer to balconies, the more complaints there are,” it reads. Other disturbances include barking dogs and too loud music.
Criticism of the ÖVP and the Greens
Green councilor Thomas Rammestorfer shakes his head: “Children make noise. If you can’t stand it, you shouldn’t necessarily build a house next to a playground. It is in principle welcome if children play outside and not just sit in front of the Playstation. The biggest problem in terms of noise pollution is road traffic.”
VP City Councilor Martin Oberndorfer agrees: “If it’s not in a playground, where else should children develop and play? In 2011, the Building Decree was rightly amended so that children’s noise is no longer considered ‘environmentally harmful'”.
