Nicole and Miroslaw Gola are helpless in the hall where they would like to set up a workshop.
This is currently failing because there is no usable driveway to their property.
Opinions differ on the question of guilt.

The Gola couple owns a house with four driveways in Pörsdorf near Aßling - and still cannot drive to the property.
A renovation would be necessary.
But none of the neighbors let them through.
Pörsdorf
– Nicole and Miroslaw Gola stand on worn parquet floors and look past heavy, crimson curtains through blinding windows to the neighbors.
"We never thought that a whole village would turn against us," says Nicole Gola (38) and shakes her head.
The room behind her is empty, save for a lonely hanging lamp made of mud-brown 1970s glass and the gray-speckled tiled stove that hasn't had a fire in it for a long time.
The Golas had imagined it so beautifully when they bought the squat building in Pörsdorf near Aßling last spring: a small manager's apartment for themselves and their two teenagers.
In the adjoining workshop hall there would be space for Miroslaw Gola's renovation company with three employees.
But they reckoned without their neighbors.
Blocked property in Pörsdorf near Aßling has four driveways - and none can be used
The Golas cannot use any of the four driveways that lead to their property from all directions.
In the west and east, they do not have the permission of their neighbors to drive on their private roads.
In the north and south, the continuous municipal path is only wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists.
The neighbors there also made sure of that, who built up obstacles with millimeter accuracy right up to their property boundaries.
At the moment there is simply no getting through.
Too narrow: To the south, the neighbor blocked Weber with plant ring stones on his property line, in between the community path runs.
On the right the fence of another property owner.

Blocked carpentry: Odelfassl dispute from Pörsdorf has a history of a quarter of a century
Due to the arrival of the Golas, a conflict flares up again that has already put the small Pörsdorf in a state of emergency: At the end of the 1990s, the Weber farming family of the Stanzel carpenter family had blocked direct access from the south to their company premises with liquid manure tanks.
At that time it turned out that the driveway on community ground was too narrow with a width of almost 1.90 meters.
The Webers no longer tolerated tire width on their property.
For months, the carpentry had to drive miles of detours over fields and fields until a new access road was negotiated in the village.
The municipality did not go through with expropriation proceedings that had been started against the Weber family.
Due to a lack of public interest, the district office had signaled a failure.
The "Odelfassl dispute" in Pörsdorf went down in history.
"You can't put up with everything," says property heir and co-blocker Peter Weber (56) today.
Can't get through with the car: renovation of the house of the Golas impossible
Now the narrow, public path from north to south is a popular bicycle connection between Grafing and Aßling.
A resident sells all sorts of colorful things in a “flea market hut” via a cash register.
And the Golas, if they want to mow their lawn, have to push the mower up from the town center on foot over the gravel.
Renovating your purchase is out of the question in this situation.

Odlfassl dispute in Pörsdorf: Neighbor in the north - "Don't give a millimeter"
In the north is the carpentry of Richard Stanzel, head of the guild and for the "Independent new list" in the Aßlinger municipal council.
"It's all completely gone," he says of the situation.
Stanzel makes no secret of the fact that he would have liked to have bought the 1970s building himself, which now belongs to the Golas and was once even part of the carpentry site.
"We're the only ones who can do anything with the building," he says.
It is said in the village that the nearby shop had a broken relationship with the previous owners.
With horror, Stanzel thinks back to the "Odelfassl dispute" in the 1990s, which so blocked his operations at the time.
Today he says: "I won't give a millimeter away." Due to old family acquaintances, the Golas prematurely assumed that they would be able to drive through his company premises.
This is now prevented by a wooden fence on the property line.
Its official purpose is to divert and slow down cyclists roaring by on the municipal footpath and cycle path through a funnel-shaped narrow area, thus avoiding accidents on the carpentry site.
Private route: There is no getting through in the west.

Dispute over property access in Pörsdorf: search for culprits and possible solutions
The new owners are now standing outside, on the edge of the overgrown meadow that has belonged to them for a good year and a half, on the much too narrow public path to their house.
"We don't have the financial means to continue fighting here," says Nicole Gola about the four-edged dilemma they find themselves in.
Now her husband's business is leased elsewhere, Golas is renting in Steinhöring.
The two of them paid 500,000 euros for the 1,226 square meter property with the need for renovation in the middle, they say.
The Golas say that they knew that the development had not been clarified.
However, they did not think it possible that no amicable solution could be found.
"The main culprit is the community," says Miroslaw Gola (41).
After all, the construction was approved in the 1970s - and the municipality was thus subject to the development obligation, which it has not fulfilled to this day.

This, in turn, is seen very differently in the town hall.
"A lottery game" is what Mayor Hans Fent calls the Golas' purchase of land at a price that is only justified, if at all, if the building site is fully developed.
Christian Weber from the administration explains why the community sees it that way. Incidentally, he is not related to Weber in Pörsdorf.
"Before the purchase, we pointed out to the family that it was absolutely problematic," he says and pulls out a letter from the district office.
"Not sufficiently developed for traffic," it says.
The building, which now belongs to the Golas, can only be developed together with the adjacent carpentry building in the north, because the building permit was only granted on the condition of this unit.
The only legal option left for the Golas is to sue one of their neighbors for a right of way – with an uncertain outcome.

The family feels "treated like six-year-olds" by the municipality and the mayor.
He calls for a round table.
"Everyone has to participate," he says about the fact that due to the small-scale property situation in Pörsdorf, at least two residents would need to agree to give the Golas the right to drive.
This is not at the expense of the municipality – it is the one who benefits who pays.
Mayor Fent rules out expropriation from residents.
Odlfassl dispute in Pörsdorf: Every change creates new concerns
Farmer Peter Weber, who has sued several times over the years in the matter of driving rights, for example against the municipality and the state, is now signaling that he could imagine giving up reason if the journey were moved a few meters away from his house.
But only for a fair fee, preferably from the community, of course.
This would affect other neighbors.
It's done.

"Blue-eyed" buyers, "stubborn" residents or a village as a "wasps' nest"?
What's going on in tranquil Pörsdorf?
There are those who privately call the Golas "blue-eyed."
There are others who point the finger at their neighbors because "out of sheer stubbornness" no compromise is possible.
There are those who call Pörsdorf a "wasps' nest".
And there are those who suspect that the whole dispute since the 1990s only arose from the joint efforts of the villagers in order to torpedo further buildings and the associated influx into the village - for a second property in the blind spot has existed for many years a preliminary building permit for three semi-detached houses, also blocked due to lack of development.
The Golas don't want to part with their property, even if they can only walk there.
They feel starved until they sell again.
Nicole Gola has just one word to say about this: "Out of the question!"
