“Rhein Ruhr City 2032”: Mronz welcomes “discussion” about the Olympic bid

Cologne (SID) Michael Mronz, initiator of a possible application by the Rhine-Ruhr region for the 2032 Olympic Games, calls for a sustainable German Olympic campaign. “We welcome the fact that the discussion about the application for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Germany is gaining momentum. What is important at this point in time is to talk about logical concepts,” said Mronz: “A German application must focus on ecological and economic sustainability for people , calculable for the cities, state and federal government and enable sensible subsequent use of the sports facilities." The “Rhein Ruhr City 2032” will present a planning paper for the sports facility concept in April. "This contributes 100 percent to the IOC's 2020 Agenda to enable sustainable Games for people and the region," said Mronz: "A major event like the Olympic Games should serve as a motor for topics such as networked mobility and digitalization, which are part of the The concept of the Rhine Ruhr City 2032 are." Discussions about the Olympics in Germany picked up speed again in the wake of the Winter Games in Pyeongchang. The outgoing Federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere spoke out in South Korea against a timely German Olympic bid. “I think the timing is too early,” said de Maiziere. He announced the development of a “national strategy for major sporting events,” “not just the Olympic Games.” In Pyeongchang, former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder supported Berlin's bid for the Summer Games. The Hessian Interior Minister Peter Beuth campaigned for an early application to host the Winter Games.
