"Peace in the village is more important to me": But no solar systems for the community - property owners row back

The Ickinger municipal council will not pursue a photovoltaic open space location in Attenhausen.

Owner Markus Lamprecht also no longer makes his property available.

Icking - A discussion at the meeting on Monday showed that none of the municipal councils supported the project on the area, which could have started behind the "Schrauberei" and extended to the Wegrl Kaltenbrunn.

The owner Markus Lamprecht, who runs the "screw shop", then declared that he was no longer willing to make his property available to an investor.

"Peace in the village is more important to me," he said after the meeting.

Photovoltaic ground-mounted system failed: Written statement by Attenhausern

About 40 visitors, presumably all from Attenhausen, followed the discussion.

The Attenhausers had previously submitted a written statement according to which they would accept a different location for a PV system, namely on the area where the geothermal drilling took place.

A Kaltenbrunn project, on the other hand, would "inevitably destroy the entire appearance of Attenhausen and significantly impair the lives of a large part of the residents," they said in writing.

(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Wolfratshausen-Geretsried newsletter.)

The council did not make any decisions.

Nevertheless, there was discussion in order to get a “mood picture” of both locations and of a system on the B11 requested by the same investor.

It turned out that the municipal council would support the former geothermal area for the generation of green electricity and that Kaltenbrunn is no longer an option.

The committee disagrees on location B11.

For lack of sufficient information, it did not vote.

However, trends could be discerned.

As a result, the Ickinger Initiative is vehemently opposed to equipping the area between the B11 and the railway with solar panels.

Matthias Ertl and Uschi Loth from the PWG spoke out in favor of it.

The Greens can also imagine pushing ahead with the energy transition in the area.

The UBI was divided.

Ertl said: "It won't be a beautiful landscape, but we need areas for the energy transition".

Loth: "The location here is not wrong, no residents are affected." Georg Linsinger and Stefan Schneider from UBI "did not want to demonize the location from the outset".

Claudia Roederstein, on the other hand, said: "A plant in this sensitive place would hurt me immensely." Laura Beckerath-Leismüller (Greens) warned not to lose sight of the goal of the energy transition.

"We can no longer allow ourselves the luxury of maintaining the beautiful view of the landscape," she emphasized.

The area is "ideal" for PV, "time is of the essence".

The Ickinger Initiative argued that more arable land should not always be sacrificed.

And: "We are sinning against the landscape if we make this happen." Climate neutrality must be achieved with more PV on the roofs.

PV system in Attemham: Issuance of a ban on modifications?

The discussion was conducted in the subjunctive: no one knew which storage building of which size was absolutely necessary for which project.

During the site visit, there was talk of eight large buildings (six by three meters) on the B11, but apparently smaller ones are also possible.

And the storage buildings do not always have to be right next to the systems.

It was also unclear to what extent the municipality could prevent a narrow strip of PV along the Autobahn in Attenhausen, although such a project would be privileged within a 200-meter zone and possible without a permit.

Building authority manager Cornelia Zechmeister said that a ban on changes could be issued under certain circumstances, but she wasn't sure.

Also present at the meeting was Florian Schönberger, whose company Vispiron Energy had applied for the PV systems for all three properties.

No, he said after the discussion, which lasted a good two hours, he wasn't disappointed, he already knew something like that.

He cannot yet say whether even a plant in Attenhausen would be profitable for him, which he had always denied at first.
