Overview
- Taufkirchen's building committee voted against giving municipal consent for a planned 252‑metre turbine in the Deisenhofener Forst, but the district office could still approve the project under existing privileging rules.
- Bernbeuren's council approved a pooling procedure to keep landowners and outside investors working with the municipality and to limit individual deals that could bring turbines close to the Haslacher See.
- Residents and local officials in Bernbeuren and Burggen raised landscape and recreation concerns, warned about rotor‑blade microplastic reaching the lake and said local fishermen are alarmed by potential impacts on fish.
- Councils and citizens are weighing legal challenges and fundraising for lawsuits, but they acknowledge that a successful suit could backfire by expanding privileged building rights across the region under federal law.
- The Planungsverband for the Oberland plans to finalize a Regionalplan by the end of October that would designate Vorranggebiete for wind energy and shift permit authority, making that decision the key near‑term turning point.
