Greenovative (ludwigsstadt) and naturstrom AG (near mitwitz) wanted to build solar parks there.

"We will examine the project again and then put to the files. We think it is a pity, but we accept democracy", says brandstatter from "greenovative, who currently has a generally negative attitude towards climate and environmental protection projects. "We don't understand why kronach is against our project. The question is whether this will do the next generation a favor."

In the frankenwald nature park, the figure is currently 50.34 percent – around 348 hectares more than required.

The city of ludwigsstadt will not take any further steps to build the solar park after all. "In the future, we will only review requests from investors that relate to areas outside the protected area", says mayor timo ehrhardt (SPD).
