If the folk wisdom about the May rain bringing blessings is true, then the new building of the Pergkirchen music association and the general renovation of the parish hall will receive plenty of heavenly support. Because just in time for the groundbreaking ceremony last Friday, the heavens over Pergkirchen opened its floodgates and washed in the guests of honor.
The start of construction for the new rehearsal location marks the end of a lengthy preparation phase. Against this background, Perg Mayor Anton Froschauer was rarely emotional at the groundbreaking ceremony: “You can’t imagine how happy I am today.” The often lengthy negotiations with several project partners – from the Diocese of Linz to the state of Upper Austria to the Federal Monuments Office – as well as the increased construction prices almost meant the end of the project several times. Froschauer particularly thanked project manager Anton Wahlmüller, parish provost Konrad Hörmanseder and music club chairman Stefan Lampl and his team for their perseverance.
Parallel to the construction of the music hall, the parish hall in Pergkirchen, just a few metres away, is being renovated from the foundations to the roof. Both construction projects are closely linked: the future music hall is located on land owned by the Diocese of Linz. This building site was the only realistic way to keep the music club in the town centre, explains project manager Anton Wahlmüller. To do this, part of the historic rectory had to be removed from the protection list and demolished. In the future, the rectory and music hall will not only be in close proximity to each other spatially: the parish also plans to use some of the common rooms in the music hall – from the altar boy breakfast to the day of the elderly.
Sharing ultimately reduces land use. The main reason for this is the renovation of the rectory. The area used by the parish is reduced by half. To this end, rooms in the old vicarage wing, some of which have been vacant for decades, are being repaired, the core of which dates back to the 11th century. With funding from the diocese, the state of Upper Austria and the EU, meeting places for clubs, young mothers, young people and a small village museum are being created.
