After the solar park closure in Waakirchen, Waakirchner local councilors criticized those responsible at the Miesbach district office.
Waakirchen
- In the wake of the failed solar park project in Point, the Waakirchen local councilors vented their disappointment and tangible anger at the most recent meeting.
Above all, Mayor Norbert Kerkel (FWG), who spontaneously put the topic on the agenda.
"I am very disappointed.
You won’t be able to find a better space,” he explained.
“And we won’t let it go either.”
As reported, Josef Solleder wanted to build a 9,000 square meter facility on private land near the substation in Point.
Because of ever new environmental regulations, he finally gave up - disappointed and with a lot of resentment towards the authorities.
It was now important for the mayor to clarify a few points.
Firstly, as the district office said, the municipal administration had by no means handed over the procedure to the same recently.
“That was nine months ago – and if that’s still too short, then I don’t know what is,” said Kerkel.
In addition, the lower nature conservation authority was involved much earlier.
“Three clerks were now assigned to the project,” Kerkel said angrily.
In one case the three-part hedge was the problem, in the next it was the mowing.
The mayor noted that he would also have liked more tact from the district office employees.
Apparently especially in his dealings with Josef Solleder, who, as a private citizen and pioneer of the energy transition, wanted to realize the solar park on his own land in an exemplary manner and worthy of emulation.
Kerkel disappointed with climate protection management
Kerkel was also disappointed with the climate protection managers.
After all, they would be paid by the municipalities to run such procedures.
In view of the continued development planning for the area, he wanted to talk to Solleder again.
While Caroline Marquardt (We) suggested that she and the municipality could perhaps lease the area from Solleder together with the energy cooperative, Rudi Reber (ABV) saw no way back to an agreement in any way.
Reber said he had already spoken to Solleder.
The system has been canceled and, according to Solleder, it will stay that way.
Reber also reported that the clerk was said to have teased and provoked Solleder at a personal meeting.
“I don't understand how one person in such an authority can ruin a project like this.
“We won’t put up with that,” complained the third mayor.
His parliamentary group colleague Michael Mohrenweiser added that he literally lost his faith when he found out about the debacle from the newspaper.
“We can throw the entire open space register into the trash if investors are harassed like that,” he shouted angrily.
He is almost speechless because he is so sorry for the project with which Waakirchen could have done pioneering work for the entire district.
A pioneering role would have been desirable
Gisela Hölscher (FW) was also “horrified”.
She believed there was a political problem: “Everything that private individuals do can be undermined by politics,” she complained and described the additional environmental requirements that the district office announced at this late stage in the process as “all pure alibi.”
This is also a political slap in the face against the community, which ultimately paved the way for this flagship project.

And Cornelia Riepe (Greens) added almost laconically: “It is an extreme pity that the solar park has collapsed.
We would have really liked to be able to be pioneers in the Miesbach district.” This is not a problem in other federal states.
“Not even in other districts,” added Jan Heiermann (SPD), citing the solar park in Bad Tölz as an example.
