Parents start a tough offensive: POST SV in Hernals is about to be eliminated!
Things are simmering in Hernals because the citizens' initiative “Save the POST SV” has been formed to fight for the preservation of the postal sports field. This space, which is not only a sports area but also an important place for the local community, is on the verge of extinction. The reason for this is the impending end of the lease agreement, which is scheduled for December 31, 2027. The activists have over 790 days left to get closer to their goal, as the countdown on the homepage is already running.
The initiative is made up primarily of parents of sporty children - including the committed Florian Heiler and Eva Bauer. Your goal is to keep POST SV at its traditional location. However, the owner, Post AG, has so far shown little cooperation and is avoiding questions about its future whereabouts. The situation is tense because, despite numerous protests and support from the district leadership for two years now, there is still no breakthrough in sight. “People are ready to defend themselves,” says one of the initiative’s supporters.
Strong together against the plans
The citizens' initiative has developed a proposal for a joint operator concept in which Post AG, POST SV and the City of Vienna should work together. The hope is that the main shareholder, the federal government, can influence the decisions. A uniform concept could be the key to success. After all, there have been failed initiatives to develop part of the site in the past. This shows that tempers are running high and local residents are doing everything they can to save their favorite resort.
Current information suggests that the last word has not yet been spoken. The initiators of the citizens' initiative remain optimistic and rely on the community's commitment. The call to fight for the preservation of the Postsportplatz is a strong sign of solidarity with a place that, for many Viennese, is more than just a sporting meeting place. A place where community is lived.
We can only hope that these efforts will bear fruit and that creative solutions can be found to preserve the valuable piece of greenery in the heart of Hernals.
