Slaughter a pig for me, I just want to taste – no real inquiries for the IKIG (Intermunicipal Industrial Area)


You know the saying: The eyes are bigger than the stomach, and there are actually alternatives, but the child absolutely refuses to hear about them. Or it’s really only about a small portion, but to get that, a huge effort would have to be made. Want a schnitzel? Yes, please, gladly! But I just want to taste! No problem, we’ll quickly slaughter a pig for that.



Something similar could be said about the IKIG (Intermunicipal Industrial Area). The Mitteldeutsche Zeitung reported behind the paywall on January 23, 2025 about the current status of the IKIG. And, read and be amazed: There is already an inquiry – the Alternative Energy Center based in Teuchern would like to expand. Not much can be learned about the company. The website at aez-gmbh.de is currently unavailable. Nevertheless, André Zschuckelt, who heads both the Office for Structural Change and the Structural Development and Economic Promotion Company (Sewig) of the Burgenland district, and Robert Franke, managing director of the Investment and Marketing Company of Saxony-Anhalt (IMG), derive from this that there is indeed interest.

Looking at all inquiries from 2021 to 2023 for the whole of Saxony-Anhalt as well as for a potential IKIG, a broader picture emerges. The IMG received inquiries from 14 companies looking for areas over 50 hectares. 63 companies asked for areas between ten and 50 hectares. 103 firms sought areas under ten hectares during these three years. The IMG cannot yet provide figures for 2024.

Critics of the IKIG would probably now want to know which companies these were, where else in Germany these companies have made inquiries, and whether they may have already settled somewhere else. From this, one could deduce whether these inquiries are still current and if they justify an investment of 140 million euros or more.


Germany currently has an economic growth rate of about 0 percent. The term deindustrialization is on everyone's lips – these are the consequences of the policies of recent years. After the economy was hit hard by the corona measures, government-imposed competitive disadvantages persist compared to other countries on this planet. Companies that had to go bankrupt or relocate abroad because of this are lost in the long term. Companies find the constant political back-and-forth harmful to investments that – as in the case of an IKIG – are supposed to secure returns over many years in advance. This generally deters companies from the German location.


And then there is the question of nature conservation. The IKIG, as a consequence of the politically mandated structural change aimed at protecting the climate and thus nature, would destroy valuable farmland. It is no coincidence that environmentalists protest against this plan. The climate protection agenda was and is promoted and pursued by the ruling parties CDU (Green Deal, Ursula von der Leyen), SPD, Greens, etc., because global warming must be stopped. Although the 1.5-degree target has already been missed. One might well ask how climate and environmental protection are supposed to be compatible with the destruction of farmland and whether humans can influence the climate to this extent at all. Inevitably, the question arises whether the 0.0000216 percent of CO₂ in the atmosphere caused by Germany has any noticeable impact.

Is the story about CO2 correct?

As a reminder: The share of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 0.04 percent. 97 percent of this CO₂ is of natural origin. Only 3 percent of the CO₂ is attributed to humans. That makes 0.0012 percent share in the atmosphere. Germany’s share of this 0.0012 percent is about 1.8 percent, i.e. the aforementioned 0.0000216 percent.


In the 19th century, numerous scientists studied CO₂. Measurements at that time showed values of about 300 to 400 ppm (0.03 to 0.04 percent) CO₂ in the atmosphere – hardly different from today’s values, which are classified as dangerous and decisive for global warming. Although there have also been warm phases in recent history with temperatures similar to today’s – completely without industrialization. However, climate change activists like to base their arguments on temperature derivations from ice cores, whose data were very likely manipulated.


About how sensible political actions are, everyone can vote by ballot on February 23, 2025.
