Hallbergmoos Mayor Josef Niedermair sees red.

And he's fuming at the district office's actions regarding a solar project.

Hallbergmoos

–

The district authority presented the PFiFFiG study project at a press conference on Thursday.

If you go by that, Hallbergmoos has rather bad cards when it comes to open-space photovoltaics.

"Everything is red here," the community leader says angrily.

By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.

There are a number of points that make Niedermair "pissed off": He received the card for the study results on Tuesday, but was sentenced to silence by the district office.

For days he has been trying, as he said at a press conference called at short notice, to reach a contact person in Freising.

none.

He was put off until September.

Other municipalities, such as Neufahrn, would have found better maps and a conversation partner.

"This is outrageous and arbitrary."

The camel's back was then the press conference in the district authority.

Niedermair can only shake his head at the word "decision-making aid", which the PFiFFiG study is supposed to be for communities and to support them in the search for suitable land: "It should have been an expert opinion, not a work by students." And if the As the results are not supposed to be binding, Niedermair asks himself: "Why was the study carried out at all: for fun, frolic and wasting time?"

What the study project has to say about “reasonable energy”.

What annoys the head of town hall even more: Hallbergmoos submitted a land use plan change to the district office a year ago for a ten-hectare open-space photovoltaic system.

There, between the B 301 and the S-Bahn line, "reasonable energy" is to be generated for the Surftown in the commercial area, among other things.

A field that Hallbergmoos wants to have removed from the landscape protection area.

But PFiFFiG identifies landscape protection areas as those with "very high spatial resistance".

So not very suitable for the development of PV areas.

In Hallbergmoos, things are completely different: there are no stocks worth protecting on this agricultural area.

According to the mayor, the situation is comparable to the PV system on the Neufahrner Spange, where removal from the landscape protection area worked without any problems.

And only recently, as business promoter Alexander Mademann added, another three hectares were released for business.

Manager has been waiting for a decision for a year

“We have been waiting for a decision for a year.

We haven't even received any information about the status so far," reports Managing Director Kristina Grünwald.

She adds: "It would have been desirable if you first spoke to a municipality in which a process is already underway."

The mayor is finally losing his patience: "I feel totally screwed.

The district office says it's five to twelve.

And for a year nothing happens at all.” He accuses the Freising authorities of “inactivity” and “massive deficits” in communication.

The mayor is personally disappointed with District Administrator Petz

He was personally disappointed by District Administrator Helmut Petz.

Accordingly, he no longer sees himself bound by the prescribed silence: According to the study, 10,000 hectares can be built in the district without major "spatial resistance".

"Everything is red here," says Niedermair.

There is a little "green" in the built-up area of ​​the Munich Airport Business Park and in the south.

Incomprehensible to him.

What will Hallbergmoos do?

Niedermair: "We will doubt the study and sue if we have to." And afterwards: It could be so quick to generate reasonable energy.

But the bureaucracy slows everything down.
