Overview
- Family and Refugee Minister Josefine Paul told a Landtag committee the project has not failed and the state still aims to build on part of the former military site.
- Paul said only a small section of the large area would be required for the facility, leaving most of the property available for other uses.
- Negotiations with Berlin are ongoing despite the moratorium, and Paul expressed hope they could conclude soon.
- A nationwide review of Bundeswehr properties tied to the changed security situation is assessing whether the site remains needed for military purposes.
- The SPD caucus said the project is far from certain, citing an examination of possible co‑use with the Bundeswehr and noting that no funds have been lost because financing would rely on long‑term rental commitments.
