Potsdam – Justice thriller about the planned Tesla car factory in Brandenburg! BILD learned: The Green League, which had sued against the early start of construction, offered the US company a comparison Thursday. Because of her complaint, the Higher Administrative Court ordered a grubbing-up stop for the site on Saturday.
Now league boss Heinz-Herwig Mascher (61) suggested: The environmental association withdraws its lawsuit – if Tesla pays extensive compensatory measures for its intervention in nature. For example, 30 kilometers of freeway should be planted with protective hedges against sand and dust storms.
The carmaker agreed. But: The also complaining “Association for Landscape Management and Species Protection in Bavaria e.V.” (VLAB) went wrong. Because only two of the four board members agreed to the settlement, Bayern did not withdraw their complaint.
Bad for Tesla – and for Green League boss Mascher, who comes empty-handed to a special meeting of his club on Thursday evening. League members want to remove the board because he went against Tesla without coordination with the club.
Now the Berlin court has to decide. “The judges have been providing intensive advice on the case since Tuesday,” said OVG spokesman Ulrich Marenbach. “The decision could be made on Thursday evening, at the latest on Friday. So that Tesla can clear before the breeding period if the decision is positive. “
On Thursday afternoon it was announced that the decision should actually be made on Thursday evening.
If the conservationists win, Tesla will have to wait until the hearing ends on March 18. But then tree felling is no longer allowed. The start of construction of the car factory would be delayed until autumn. Brandenburg’s Minister of Economics Jörg Steinbach (63, SPD) fears that the car company could jump off.
The Potsdam government is now hoping for a “two-part” decision, BILD learned: The court could allow deforestation because the forest can be reforested again. And forbid all measures that are irreversible until Tesla has a building permit. But it should be there in May at the earliest.
