In Wolfratshausen, ahead of the local elections scheduled for March 8, a political group led by mayoral candidate Manfred Fleischer has installed a mobile toilet at the entrance of the S-Bahn station. This move is a reaction to the closure of the station's sanitary facilities, which has been an ongoing issue since the McDonald's outlet in the station closed in October 2023. The Wolfratshausen List, which positions itself as a protector of the town center and advocate for moderate development, hopes to create a tangible solution to the community's sanitation needs rather than waiting for a compromise with larger entities such as Deutsche Bahn.

The local mayor, Klaus Heilinglechner, has made several attempts to reopen the station's bathrooms in collaboration with Deutsche Bahn but has been unsuccessful to date. With the municipal elections approaching, the installation of the mobile toilet highlights the frustration of residents and the urgency of addressing the community's amenities. This situation represents not only a localized issue with public sanitation but also reflects the broader themes of political accountability and responsiveness to civic needs.

Moreover, the decision to place a mobile toilet is controversial; it symbolizes the lengths to which local political groups are willing to go to address shortcomings in municipal services. This act is both a statement against inaction and a strategic move to rally support before the elections, as local parties are pressured to show they can deliver practical solutions to the constituents’ pressing concerns.
