Citizens' protests in Meßkirch: C1 route against the expropriation of the prince!
months of protests and citizens' initiatives in Germany show resistance to planned infrastructure projects, especially in connection with expropriations. In the Meßkirch and Quantities region, three citizens' initiatives against the planned Nordstrasse are committed to building the road. Instead, these initiatives require a C1 citizens' route, which in their opinion would relieve more people. Posters and banners in the region illustrate the desire of the citizens for alternative traffic routes, such as .
The Princely House of Hohenzollern, represented by Raimund Friderichs, has no interest in selling the forest area north of Igelswies and the Joseflust Park. Friderichs emphasized that expropriation of the prince would be necessary to use the forest area for the route. In this context, it is speculated on how the planning team would react if the C1 citizens' route is identified as the best option.
historical and legal context
The discussion about expropriation has a long history in Germany. A historical context is the 1926 referendum, in which 14.4 million citizens voted for the expropriation of princes without compensation. While only 11.2 percent of the citizens in Sigmaringen were for expropriation, the approval in Bingen was 59.5 percent. The legal framework for expropriations in Germany require an application to the responsible regional council, which listens to those affected and, if necessary, creates a valuation report.
Available to the Federal Ministry of Transport shows that there are 142 expropriation procedures in connection with the construction of motorways and federal highways in Germany. These procedures concern owners who do not want to voluntarily separate their land. There are particularly many of these procedures in the federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Bavaria, as reports the Süddeutsche Zeitung .
expropriations are permitted in accordance with paragraph 19 of the Federal Funeral Street Act if they are necessary for approved building projects and which is well used by the general public. While the Ministry of Transport emphasizes that over 95 percent of the required areas are obtained through purchase contracts, the opposition criticizes the high figures of the expropriation procedure. The owners' association demands that expropriations should only be used as a last remedy.
