OVG blocks stop of trees: Saarbrücken in the natural crisis!

On September 30, 2024, the Saarland Higher Administrative Court decided to stop the development plan No. 139.02.00 "north chair set house" in Saarbrücken at the request of the federal government. This "caliper" refers to planned tree felling and clearing that would be necessary for the settlement of research and development institutions near the campus of the University of Saarland. The stop applies to the final clarification of an urgent application, which the federal government, a recognized environmental organization, has made.

The decision of the court prevents irreversible interventions in nature before the final judgment. This means that no clearing may take place in the affected area for the time being. Although the stop represents an important turn, there is no assessment of the success of the federal government. An appointment for the final decision of the court is still pending, www.diebenverkartung.de .
