Treasurer Claudia Eder prepared the city councilors for difficult budget negotiations for 2025 at the Finance Committee meeting. The loans that the city would have to take out to complete all planned projects would hardly be eligible for approval, she warned.
An “Outlook for the 2025 Budget” was on the agenda. “A loan of seven million euros is necessary for 2025,” reported the city treasurer.
Problem: Funding is often paid out very late
She listed the larger measures that need to be planned, built and financed next year: Claudia Eder named the Duschlberg elevated tank including spring pipes, the renovation of Hafnerstrasse, the Hauzenberg and Germannsdorf kindergartens, the renovation of Furtstrasse in Jahrdorf, the water pipe in Showerpoint, the renovations of the fire stations in Raßberg, Oberneureuth and Hauzenberg, the road renovations after Storm Kolle and sewer renovations. All of these projects placed an enormous burden on the city’s budget. “In addition, the grants are being processed later and later.”
District levy increases, trade tax decreases
This affects the asset budget with investments. “Increasing district levies and falling trade tax revenues are also a burden in the administrative budget.” With a loan amount of seven million, the legal supervisory authority would probably not go along with it, she said. Things are not going badly with the administrative budget this year, she reported. The problem is that many bills are still outstanding and funding is often paid out very late.
The city of Hauzenberg receives lots of good funding
There was criticism from the committee about this fact. However, Mayor Gudrun Donaubauer reminded that the city of Hauzenberg generally receives very good funding. The interim financing up to the disbursements. Yes, that is often difficult.

The Oberneureuth fire department’s equipment house in Krinning needs to be rebuilt. The main reasons are a lack of space and the risk of accidents when an alarm is raised. − Photos: Ried spawner
