An agenda item for the upcoming meeting of the Wackersberg local council on Tuesday, February 20th is worth noting: A property owner is submitting an application for a development plan for a “camping and alpine village” in Arzbach.
Arzbach – Specifically, this is the existing Arzbach campsite – run by the host family of the “Arzbacher Hof”, Michaela and Thomas Linke.
The family is also the third generation to rent the neighboring campsite.
However, the ground does not belong to them.
Now a more luxurious version is to be created from the current campsite.
One of the plans for this is to build alpine huts for overnight guests.
When asked by our newspaper, Mayor Jan Göhzold confirmed that he had known about the property owners' plans for some time.
There is probably already an investor for the project.
Because: The major renovation of the campsite was already discussed at a non-public meeting of the local council in November.
“At that time, the project was rejected by the local council.” However, not unanimously.
Mayor about pros and cons
In principle, arguments for and against the plans can be presented, says Göhzold.
“Some believe that this will give our community a nicer, more stylish campsite.
However, the others see problems with this, as it could lead to a noise problem with the 'Arzbacher Hof' in the long term, and want to protect our existing economy,” explains Göhzold.
After all, the Arzbacher Hof is an established business that organizes weddings and celebrations.
“If new tenants operate this alpine village, it is to be feared that there could be disputes over music and noise,” says the mayor cautiously.

Göhzold even sees harmony in Arzbach at risk from the Almdorf project.
“I personally think it would be desirable if the campsite simply continued as before,” says the town hall boss.
“As far as I know, the campsite as it stands now has good numbers of overnight stays.
The Almdorf will not create more capacity,” he argues.
However, the property owners obviously do not want to be satisfied with the decision from the non-public meeting and are going into another round.
“You have now publicly submitted an application for the development plan to be issued,” informs Göhzold.
The project will therefore now be discussed publicly at the upcoming local council meeting.
Both the Linke family and the property owners did not want to comment at this time.
