Overview

• The Administrative Court in Bayreuth rejected Franken-Cannabis’s emergency injunction, leaving the Landratsamt Bamberg prohibition in effect.
• Judges found the club’s expanded plans, including a fenced outdoor grow, a separate dispensing building, an office build-out and indoor–outdoor cultivation, exceeded the scope of the January 2024 permit.
• The Bavarian building ministry said cultivation, sale and distribution took place in the hall without a building permit, warranting building‑supervisory intervention.
• The ruling is not final, as the club has initiated a main lawsuit and may file a complaint to the Higher Administrative Court in Munich.
• Bavaria’s rollout remains tight, with eight clubs approved, three applications rejected, 19 pending, 14 withdrawn and six related cases before administrative courts.
