Dispute over fire department access: Fence in Wolfersdorf endangers operations!
A new metal fence is causing a stir in Wolfersdorf. This blocks access to the local fire station and puts the firefighters in a precarious position. The fence was erected by the new owner of the adjacent Raiffeisen warehouse, Matthias Denk. The fire department is forced to drive around it, which is considered dangerous. Mayor Anita Wölfle and Lukas Schütt, the head of the administrative community, report failed negotiations that were supposed to clarify the ownership structure. When the fire station was built in the 1970s, these were not clearly regulated. A circumstance that is now leading to disputes that endanger the safety of the community.
The conflict is not just about access for the fire department, but also about disabled access to the community hall. The municipality rejected the requested lease payment of 7,200 euros, while Denk's offer to purchase 15 square meters of space was rejected as unacceptable. The reported problems have brought lawyers into action, and there has already been a local appointment with the fire department and the district office.
The danger situation
District fire officer Manfred Danner expressed concern and is calling for the removal of the fence, which severely restricts emergency services. The municipality has sent a letter to Denk to point out the serious risks to the fire department. Denk, on the other hand, denies that there is a danger and believes that the operations are unproblematic. He emphasizes that he has no problem with the fire department and is not very forthcoming. The situation could lead to protracted legal disputes that could last for years, and Denk's response to the municipality's purchase offer is still pending.
The building regulations provide a further legal framework. According to a resolution by the Bremen Higher Administrative Court, it is stipulated that fire brigade access routes are not intended to protect neighbors. In a similar case, it was decided that fire access roads primarily serve fire protection and cannot be used to defend neighboring rights. It is therefore crucial that such access routes are accessible at all times to ensure quick and effective fire fighting. These legal principles play an important role in the current dispute in Wolfersdorf.
What's wrong?
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how the conflict will develop further. If the fence is not removed, this could not only have legal consequences for Denk, but also clear implications for the security situation in the entire community. Wölfle and Schütt would like to reach an agreement quickly in order to meet the needs of the fire department and the citizens. Whether Denk is willing to give in remains questionable, but hopes for an amicable settlement are in the air. One thing is clear: the last word has not yet been spoken here.
