Oberpfaffenhofen - Green light for the radio mast on the Adelberg in Oberpfaffenhofen: In its most recent meeting, the building committee unanimously approved the application for the permanent structure on the municipal property.
A mobile variant should ensure sufficient reception in the transitional period (we reported).
Gerd Pfister was also present at the meeting.
The Hochstadter is concerned about the radiation exposure.
Pfister had sent a corresponding letter to the council in advance.
In summary, the qualified engineer warned that the municipality, as the property owner, would have to answer to a court for radiation damage.
The starting point for this assessment are the limit values that are specified in the “26.
Ordinance on the Implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act” in 1997 and revised in 2013.
Limit values that are "at least ten times too high in the field of electromagnetic radiation fields," said Pfister.
Almost 1,000 out of 1,600 studies were critical of the higher limit values, they had found "biological effects and harmful effects below the long outdated limit values of the 26th BImSchV".
Thus, the Hochstadter is convinced
Mayor Michael Sturm has discussed this risk with the district office and a lawyer.
Conclusion: “According to current law, the municipality cannot be prosecuted.
The operator of the cell phone system is fully liable for damage caused by a cell phone system.” In Wessling, that would be Telefónica Germany.
Only when the limit values change would the landowner have to take action.
"Then we would have to ensure that the mast is dismantled."
Pfister interprets the legal situation differently: "We have informed the municipal councils and community comprehensively about the dangers." With this knowledge, they could not shirk their responsibility.
The Federal Network Agency and the mobile operator would have to make the decision, counters Sturm.
"We rely on the assessment of the specialist departments."
The building committee approved the application without discussion - and Petra Slawisch (Greens) said when asked that the letter from the critics had struck some in the council because they felt it was a kind of threat.
Pfister sticks to his assessment: "Then we probably have no choice but to complain." Because in principle he sees no need for a fourth radio mast.
“The mobile phones also have reception with the three other locations.
Then they shine more, but the mobile phone user can decide that for themselves.” Sturm adds: “We have clarified exactly whether we need the mast.” The result was clear.
The district office of Starnberg should now check the privileges and the compatibility of the landscape.
