Disinformation by CDU District Administrator Götz Ulrich – €4.9 Million in Debt for Memleben AbbeyOn September 14, 2026, the Burgenland District, under District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU), gleefully announced on Facebook: “€4.9 million for Memleben Abbey!” 
The Memleben Abbey and Imperial Palace Foundation reportedly received the money “from the federal government’s special fund.” The funds are intended to secure areas in terms of historic preservation, renovate accommodation facilities, and redesign open spaces. “Great news” – and on the very day Emperor Otto was reinterred, no less. Hashtags included. “Special Fund”? Finally call it what it is: Debt!What Ulrich and the district administration conveniently conceal or gloss over: This “special fund” is nothing other than debt. Money created and borrowed as a loan, to be repaid by future generations. The Bundestag, which has since been voted out of office, rushed to set up such special funds – including the Special Fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality, with a volume of up to €500 billion. Officially called a “special fund” so that it doesn't hurt quite so much. In reality, additional government debt outside the regular debt brake. Exactly the kind of thing many citizens rightly perceive as deception.District Administrator Ulrich’s Disinformation Trick: Glossing Over Instead of Being HonestUlrich deliberately continues to use the term “special fund,” as though it were free money handed out from a cornucopia. This is disinformation in its purest form. More honesty should be mandatory. Instead, the district administrator presents himself as a benefactor, adorning regional flagship projects with federal funds. The comments under the post show that many people see through it: “Only from the special debt, to be repaid by future generations.” – “Debt.” – “How many millions are they going to pour into this … completely pointless … they could have built a playground for €100,000 in each of 49 villages.” – “WHY are you using this so-called ‘special fund’ for this???? … But who is going to pay it all back???”Money Pit Memleben: Ruins Instead of a Tourist HotspotAnd that is precisely where the second sticking point lies: whether it makes sense at all. Memleben Abbey is historically significant – the place where Henry I and Otto the Great died, and once an imperial abbey. Yet the monumental church was demolished centuries ago. What remains are ruins, a crypt, and a museum. It has never become a tourist hotspot. Memleben did not develop into a metropolis, and even today the site primarily attracts niche visitors and school groups (around 2,000 students per year, according to earlier figures). Millions for historic preservation, accommodation, and the redesign of open spaces at such a site may appeal to cultural enthusiasts – but in view of empty coffers and the real needs of the villages in the Burgenland District, it looks like expensive symbolic politics.More and More Tax Money – and Ulrich Collects as Foundation Board Member, TooConsiderable sums had already flowed in earlier: around €4 million in 2022 from the Joint Task “Improving the Regional Economic Structure” (GRW) for accessibility and educational facilities, followed later by another €5 million-plus for new construction and redevelopment. Ulrich is not only district administrator but also a member of the foundation’s board – so naturally, one is pleased about every influx of money for one’s own pet project. But writing one’s own success story with debts borne by the general public, while awkwardly avoiding the word “debt.”“Rhombus” Politics Exposed: Citizens Pay, Politicians PoseThe criticism of the “rhombus” in the comments hits the nail on the head: politicians who adorn themselves with billions in special debt while pretending it is freely available wealth are making themselves unbelievable. Honesty would look different: “We have been granted €4.9 million in additional debt for Memleben.” Period. Everything else is sugarcoating. Future generations will foot the bill – not Götz Ulrich.
