German Conservationists Score Win In Battle To Protect 1000-Year Old “Grimm’s Fairytale Forest” From Green Insanity

The German state of Hesse has one of Europe’s largest contiguous and undisturbed forest areas: the Reinhardswald, also known as the “treasure house of European forests” or “Grimm’s fairytale forest”. 

The legal fight to rescue the treasured forest from windpark industrialization has begun. 

Though the mass environmental crime has already begun, conservationists are beginning to mobilize in earnest. Image: Rettetdenreihandswwald.de.

20,000,000 square meters to be deforested

Tragically, green energy zealots have managed to gain approval for the construction of wind turbines on 7 so-called priority areas with a total of about 2000 hectares (= 20 million m²) in the thousand-year-old Reinhardswald.

The first 18 turbines have recently been approved, see map here. But approved is not built. Several lawsuits have since been filed. Plans are already underway on other areas in the Reinhardswald: 10 turbines are to be built on the KS26 location, 9 more on KS14.

More than 50 gigantic wind turbines planned

And that would be only the beginning: Three areas are available beyond that. In total, 50 or more of these gigantic wind turbines could be built in the Reinhardswald.

The rescue begins

Fortunately, the greed and enviro-criminal behavior is finally being met with stiff resistance from German conservationists. The battle to save the famous forest will be a long one. Finally there’s been a bit of good news.

COURT STOPS WIND INDUSTRY IN REINHARDSWALD

By Rettet den Reinhardswald

The construction of the largest wind industrial area in Hesse in the heart of the 1000-year-old Reinhardswald has been stopped by the courts (for the time being). Lack of species protection precautions is only one of many conflict issues that make this insane project including 14 km of road construction impossible

The excavators were already set to go, but your commitment and donations have paid off! The construction of the huge wind industry area in one of the last, undisturbed forest areas in Germany has been stopped by a court ruling. The clearing of the forest areas, i.e. the forcible removal of tree roots from the sensitive ecosystem of the forest floor, has been halted for the time being.

All in all, the killing of the strictly protected dormouse in the 1000-year-old forest is only one of numerous problems because of which several environmental associations and communities have filed a complaint with the Administrative Court in Kassel.

In addition, there are numerous other violations of the permit conditions, e.g. the failure to comply with the requirements for amphibian protection. With our own eyes, we documented, among other things, huge rainwater-filled channels in the vicinity of the construction areas, which were populated with more than 40 amphibians (strictly protected Alpine newts, threadfin newts) and reported them to the Kassel Regional Council. Only a few days later we found these biotopes driven through and filled up (see photos). There is no trace of the newts….

The wind industry area in the Reinhardswald must be stopped! Hesse’s largest, (still) intact forest needs your help.

    Beautiful Germany will be turned into a desert land because without trees there is no rain, wildlife nor clean air for humans to breath. The wind machines break down and there is no way to recycle them. They leave complete destruction in their wake. The worse of this abomination is the unbearable noise that they create, the blades absolutely kill all manner of bird life, bats and pollinators. Just ask anyone who has been forced out in Texas and many other western states in the US. The devil wants to destroy this beautiful earth all for greed. This insanity must stop.

    But if we don’t cut down the forests and build wind famrs, how can we save the Earth?

    Hello

    Can you do a post on total electricity production and consumption in Germany showing the export/import situation? This would be very interesting to see for many people, specially for us in Sweden and other countries with connected grids. Pricing in Germany is influencing pricing in connected countries too.

    Some damage has already been done.
    At least access roads, I assume,judging by photos I’ve seen.
    I assume some trees have already been cut down.
    If so, were the cut down trees used for any productive purpose,
    such as building homes, or burned as wood pellets for energy?

    Nice to see some environmentists still care about the environment.
    Most of them seem to be Climate Howlers and haters of fossil fuels
    that make life worth living.
