Immenstadt’s landfill proposal sparks fierce debate among residents and officials

The city council of Immenstadt recently held a heated debate over a proposed landfill project, with residents and environmental groups voicing concerns. Mayor Nico Sentner and the municipal administration presented the plan, but no final decisions have been made.

The Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (BUND) has raised concerns about the project, fearing it could harm the recreational quality of the area around Weihergut. Some residents share these worries, leading to growing resistance in Immenstadt, as seen with the citizen movement Immenstadt opposing the proposal. The permitting process for the landfill has not yet begun, and officials argue that there are no alternative sites in the vicinity. The city council's building committee debated the proposal, with intense discussions taking place.

The fate of the landfill project remains uncertain, with no final decisions made yet. The city council will need to weigh the concerns of residents and environmental groups against the need for a disposal site for excavated materials.
