The possible use of a former prison for the penal system in Heidelberg is now also causing a dispute in the cabinet.
Science Minister Theresia Bauer (Greens) said on Friday that she did not believe in the plans of the Minister of Social Affairs, Manne Luche (Greens), to use the vacant complex called “Lazy Pelz” again for criminals.
Heidelberg - "The" Lazy Pelz "is located in the middle of the old town and in close proximity to the humanities subjects at the university, which are suffering from a considerable shortage of space," emphasized Bauer.
The need for space has long been recognized and the area with the two buildings is ideally suited for students, doctoral candidates and scientists.
"Appropriate use has been agreed and the preparations are underway," said the member of the state parliament from the Heidelberg constituency.

Bauer is skeptical about interim use until the end of 2024 for the penal system.
