An ecological wealth tax could bring Munich around 240 million euros annually and thereby resolve shortfalls in schools, transport, climate-neutral buildings, and social housing.

According to a sample calculation, Munich could use around 81 million euros annually for schools and kindergartens, 60 million euros for the Climate-Neutral Buildings funding programme, and around 86 million euros for social housing.

The text describes concrete financial shortfalls in Munich, for example in school construction, transport, and housing. It refers to a Greenpeace study that proposes an ecological wealth tax as a funding instrument. According to the study, the city could generate around 240 million euros in additional revenue annually. Schools and kindergartens, climate-neutral buildings, and social housing are to benefit from this. The MVG could also be relieved by 14 million euros. The argumentation links current municipal austerity pressures with a political funding proposal. The text is directed at the public and at political decision-makers. It contains no religious or eschatological references.

The consequences of tight municipal finances are already being felt: for example, the expansion of the Theodolinden-Gymnasium, which is in need of renovation, is being postponed; the development of the school site on Fernpaßstraße is being delayed. The Munich Transport Company is to save around 14 million euros in the coming timetable year. Planned measures include, among other things, restrictions on the U7 and the discontinuation of two bus lines. At the same time, funds are lacking for affordable housing and the promotion of climate-neutral buildings. According to a sample calculation, Munich could use around 81 million euros annually for schools and daycare centers, 60 million euros for the Climate-Neutral Buildings funding program, and around 86 million euros for social housing. A further 14 million euros could support the operation of buses and trains – this corresponds to the savings volume required of the MVG for 2027.

Die Folgen klammer Kommunalfinanzen sind bereits spürbar: So wird beispielsweise der Ausbau des sanierungsbedürftigen Theodolinden-Gymnasiums verschoben; die Entwicklung des Schulstandorts Fernpaßstraße verzögert sich. Die Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft soll im kommenden Fahrplanjahr rund 14 Millionen Euro einsparen. Vorgesehen sind unter anderem Einschränkungen bei der U7 und die Einstellung zweier Buslinien. Gleichzeitig fehlen Mittel für bezahlbaren Wohnraum und die Förderung klimaneutraler Gebäude. Damit könnte München laut Beispielrechnung jährlich rund 81 Millionen Euro für Schulen und Kitas, 60 Millionen Euro für das Förderprogramm Klimaneutrale Gebäude und rund 86 Millionen Euro für den sozialen Wohnungsbau einsetzen. Weitere 14 Millionen Euro könnten den Betrieb von Bus und Bahn unterstützen – das entspricht dem für 2027 geforderten Sparvolumen der MVG.
