Dieburg (dpa / lhe) - In the city of Dieburg in southern Hesse, selected as a model municipality for relaxed corona measures, the magistrate should not decide on the project until Thursday.

A spokeswoman for the city said on Wednesday that there should be talks with the state government on Wednesday and then the magistrate should decide on participation on Thursday.

Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) and Health Minister Kai Klose (Greens) announced at the end of March that in addition to the North Hessian Baunatal, the South Hessian Dieburg and Alsfeld in the Vogelsbergkreis could try out opening steps for trade, gastronomy or events as model communities.

Previously, «hessenschau.de» reported on it.

The project is scheduled to start in Alsfeld on Thursday.

According to a spokeswoman, consultations and votes are still going on in Baunatal.

At the end of the week, the city will announce an appointment.

If the magistrate in Dieburg agrees, a start is planned for mid-April.

Unlike many other municipalities, the city itself did not even apply as a model city.

“An application from the entire district ultimately led the state government to commit to Dieburg,” said Mayor Frank Haus (non-party) on Facebook earlier this week.

The city did not submit its own application.


"I found out about this myself 40 minutes before the start of the press conference."

It was then agreed very quickly with the magistrate to develop a concept to see what was responsible.

"I, my colleague and my colleagues from the magistrate and the members of the administrative staff are also concerned about the spread of the infection, because the whole region could make its way to Dieburg."

With regard to the infection process, Haus said «hessenschau.de» that he saw plenty of scope to implement the model project.

But nothing will be forced.

The situation is currently tense.

He and the magistrate are worried about the spread of infections.

Should the city present itself as a model municipality, only people from the Darmstadt-Dieburg district or the city of Darmstadt should be able to get a day pass.
