Wismar (dpa / mv) – A dispute over almost one million euros between the city of Wismar and the Wonnemar adventure pool in the Hanseatic city has been settled. The Hanseatic city and the Wonnemar owner company HWR agreed on a comparison, as the city administration announced on Friday. According to this, the HWR pays the sum of 939,000 euros demanded by the city, and the city in turn waives the default interest that has accrued so far. The citizenship unanimously approved the settlement made before the Schwerin district court on Thursday evening.
According to the city administration, the total is made up of two individual items. On the one hand, it is about 115,000 euros for emergency operating costs of the Wonnemar, which the city took over between December 2020 and February 2021. According to the information, the city overpaid a further 824,000 euros as compensation for school and club swimming. It is about the corona lockdowns, in which school and club swimming could not take place.
According to the information provided, HWR will have to repay the emergency operating costs in mid-February 2023. The overpaid usage compensation is to be paid to the city in five installments – for the first time by November 30, 2023, then by June 30 of the following years.
