The wooden bell fight in Holzkirchen ended - shortly after an unusual appointment on site. The question of whether it would also use GPS instead of bell should be answered.

  • The controversy over disturbing cowbells * in the Miesbach district dragged on for years.
  • Now the farmer and a plaintive neighbor in court agreed to a settlement
  • In future, only a certain number of cowbells will be allowed to ring there.
  • There are even more local stories in our weekly regional newsletter for wooden churches * or in our app.

Holzkirchen - The applicant , a native of the district, could not stand the situation around her lovingly restored house on the edge of the pasture. The nocturnal chime, the flies and the stink of animal manure no longer let them sleep. She got depressed . Her husband had already sued through all instances - to no avail. At the Higher Regional Court (OLG) , she now met a senate who was ready to inquire about the situation on site.

Cow lawsuit in the district of Miesbach: "You heard that you hear nothing"

Yesterday morning, the Senate had moved out to the so-called Erlkam ( Miesbach district * ) district of Holzkirchen . The cows , all pregnant cattle, had shown themselves very lazy. They weren't particularly upset by the court and media throng from Munich. The presiding judge Nikolaus Stackmann then asked the farmer Regina Killer to get the animals moving. This has had moderate success. "You heard that you don't hear anything," summarized Killer in the afternoon before the Higher Regional Court in Munich.

Annoying cowbells in Holzkirchen: Does GPS help - or just a fence?

She had no idea how upset the judge was that he and his colleagues had been presented with quiet suckler cows instead of impetuous young cattle . “Ms. Killer, the inspection was useless. You're taking our time, that's not okay, ”he complained. Killer would have always argued that the bells were used to protect the possibly escaping young animals and not for pregnant mothers.

He also wanted to know from the farmer's wife what the alternatives are to securing the animals , i.e. GPS * on the neck or a stronger fence. There was insufficient reception with GPS , the farmer argued, and a more stable fence would not withstand the cattle's willingness to break out. The animals escape several times a year, she said in court.

The judge was keen to end the trial with a settlement. "Otherwise there will be at least one more trial," he feared, while at the same time giving the plaintiff's lawyer no hope of achieving anything with the complaints about  flying and stink . "Nothing goes there," he said and sighed slightly, "I have the feeling that I am in an infinite story." And so from now on there were discussions about shifting areas and reducing the number of bells .

Reconciliation in the cowbell dispute in Holzkirchen - the mayor speaks out

"The pasture is ideal for keeping cattle, " the farmer fought to keep the piece of land leased by the community. In an earlier trial before the Munich II * district court , she had already made a compromise, according to which she only allowed her cattle to graze in the area further away

"I don't want to do without everything, pasture and bell, " she countered. In the end, there was a conciliatory end in which in future a maximum of three animals may wear bells (strictly speaking they are bells). Holzkirchen's City Hall chief Christoph Schmid , who had followed the process , was also relieved by the agreement . "As a mayor you are happy," he said.

In another region in Upper Bavaria, a man was worried about a farmer's cows *: should they also be in the pasture in winter?
