With snow, double-digit negative temperatures, frost warnings, and finally the coldest night of the year, winter has Munich firmly in its grasp. While those outside look forward to the warmth of their homes, this remains impossible for several residents in the northern district of Feldmoching-Hasenbergl.
As reported by tz, dozens of apartments on Linkstraße have been almost entirely without heat for an extended period. The housing and construction company Dawonia is responsible for the affected households. In response to an inquiry from the Munich editorial office of t-online, company representatives explained: “The affected apartments receive district heating from Stadtwerke München (SWM). Although sufficient thermal capacity was secured on Friday, supply levels in individual apartments currently remain insufficient.”
Heat Supply Expected to Be Restored Within the Day
The company noted that intensive work is underway to ensure a constant and reliable supply to all units. “Together with the municipal utilities, we are confident that all tenants will receive sufficient heat shortly.” In the event that this could not be guaranteed throughout Monday, Dawonia offered mobile fan heaters as a temporary measure.
Stadtwerke München (SWM), which was only informed of the situation a few days ago, commented on the status in Hasenbergl as follows: “SWM services received information about the current situation on January 7 at approximately 2:00 PM. According to our information, only a limited section on Linkstraße is affected.” At 5:50 PM that day, a technical team arrived on-site and took measures to resolve the issue, successfully stabilizing the heat supply to the customer.
Municipal Utilities Prepare Mobile Heating Unit
“However, during the course of the work, our colleagues also discovered a fault in the client’s internal building system, which prevented the distribution of heat within the structure,” SWM representatives added. They assisted the plumber in locating and fixing the error to resume heating the apartments. “In case the affected buildings experience further heating interruptions, SWM has prepared a mobile boiler room for deployment.”
A follow-up inspection on Monday, January 12, confirmed that the district heating provided by the city utilities was functioning perfectly. “Since Thursday, the client has actually been receiving more heat from the network than was contractually agreed upon.” However, according to SWM, the issues within the client’s internal building system appear to persist.
