Thuringia's state government is examining a constitutional complaint against restrictions on the construction of wind turbines in the forest. The cabinet is expected to deal with this in March.
The Forest Act was changed in December 2023 by the FDP together with the opposition factions CDU and AfD to make it more difficult to build wind turbines. A general ban on wind turbine in the Thuringian forests, which applied until 2022, was overturned as unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.
