Dispute over Augustuspark: Scharbeutzer biotope before breakdown?

In Scharbeutz, bubbles around the mysterious Augustuspark! Hardly visible from Seestrasse, a violent dispute over the protection state of the 8000 square meter property is hidden behind the dense vegetation and the biotope worth protecting. Originally shown in 2020 as a private park to hold investors, the area has been in the headlines since September 2021 for an auction for a proud 580,000 euros. An unexpected purchase by unknown citizens from Hamburg are now raising questions.

The community catches the eye of a new "double protection" to comprehensively preserve the green area. But the administration is skeptical and refers to possible legal problems if the protection is tightened. The minds have heated up these statements, while at the same time the accusation of bias against the construction committee representative Henning Nitz, whose partner is a member of the building committee, is in the room. The uncertainty in local politics remains, while all eyes are aimed at the nature conservation authority, which will soon be able to clarify. Until then, the Augustuspark remains under the protection of the community - but how long? You can find more on this controversial topic here .
