Boom in Weißenfels - Will the City Become a Center of Crime? - Saxony-Anhalt Plans to Build a New Prison in WeißenfelsMany have probably already received the good news: Saxony-Anhalt plans to build a new prison in Weißenfels. This opens up fantastic prospects for the former district city. But! But! Definitely!  According to a report by MDR, SPD state parliament member Rüdiger Erben is quoted as saying that citizens need to be convinced of the benefits – and quickly – because the plans for the construction came as a surprise. The benefits, according to Erben, had apparently not convinced the citizens of Halle-Tornau, where the prison was originally planned to be built. What Benefits Would the Prison Have for Weißenfels?In the circles of the conspiracy theorists, the advantage is seen as the fact that they and their families won’t have far to go if they end up incarcerated or want to visit someone. The beloved leaders in Berlin and Brussels are, as we all know, diligently continuing their work on censorship and limiting freedom of speech. It is important to these beloved leaders that hate and incitement become criminal offenses, even if they fall below the threshold of punishable acts. Naturally, what constitutes hate and incitement is determined by these beloved leaders, according to their whims and daily mood.Another idea was that this prison would save significant costs if the many war-mongers in Berlin, who would like to attack Russia sooner rather than later (war of aggression – §80a StGB and Article 26 GG), were to be locked up in the new prison. Government officials cost around 20,000 euros per month, while a prison spot would only cost about 6,000 euros, with those incarcerated actually being required to work. But even those beloved leaders, who had so diligently worked during the COVID-19 pandemic to impose restrictions and coerce individuals into getting experimental substances injected (which in many cases could be considered negligent homicide or dangerous bodily harm), might look forward to communal showers several times a week. So, a win-win-win situation, right? Jobs? Really?The Mayor of Weißenfels, Martin Papke, is excited that new jobs would be created by the new prison. However, this seems to be short-sighted. The new construction is set to replace the prisons in Halle ("Roter Ochse"), at Am Kirchtor in the city center, and in the district of Frohe Zukunft, Wilhelm-Busch-Strasse. This means that no new jobs would actually be created. Whether the current residents of Halle would move to Weißenfels is also questionable. The claim that local businesses like bakeries, butchers, laundromats, craft businesses, and service providers would benefit is also open to doubt.In a few interviews with dissidents, who refused to get vaccinated, issued mask exemptions, or spoke out against the beloved leaders' policies, it was mentioned that food in prison can only be called "food" with a lot of good will. It will likely end up being "industrial" production, from which local bakers or butchers will see no benefit. The New Showpiece, the Gateway to the CityBut let's not always look at things so negatively, right? The site of the prison is planned to be "Am Sandberg" in Langendorf. Currently, it's just a field, and an agricultural path runs past it. For Weißenfels, this prison means not only that the city will regularly make headlines when reports come in about prisoners being transferred to the Weißenfels correctional facility, but also that the tens of thousands of drivers daily, and the millions of drivers yearly, passing by on the A9 will see this prestige project, this modern complex. They will remember Weißenfels because of the prison that is clearly visible from the highway. What more could one want, right?Swimming Lessons for the KidsThe plans are not yet known, but assuming the prison gets a swimming pool, it would solve a big problem for Weißenfels and beyond. Finally, elementary school children could get swimming lessons again. And what an experience it would be for the children every week when they get to go into the prison, get properly searched to make sure they don't smuggle in escape tools, and learn, besides swimming, how to behave appropriately.The Big Economic BoomUnfortunately, the "model democrat" and chairman of the city council of Weißenfels, Ekkart Günther, had the video of the city council meeting from November 7, 2024, removed from being available online. Otherwise, everyone could have been inspired by the speech of council member Jörg Riemer. Regarding the IKIG (Intermunicipal Industrial Zone), he explained that this 140 million euro project with the railway connection to Weißenfels, which was established in 1846, marked the beginning of the economic rise of Weißenfels. The prison, which is set to cost 400 million euros, almost three times as much, must inevitably trigger an economic boom like Weißenfels has never seen, right?The Tourism BoomThe people of Weißenfels could look forward to a tourism boom. Prisoners will certainly be regularly visited, and what will these visitors do after they sadly leave the prison? Of course: They will visit the museum in the castle, tour the Marienkirche, and dine at one of the many restaurants to enjoy themselves and quickly shake off their sadness.Assuming some of the foreign-trained professionals are housed in the new prison, maybe clans will take family trips to Weißenfels and then indulge in one of the two burger joints, head to the bowling alley, or visit the all-weather toboggan run. Unprecedented sales will be generated in Weißenfels. The Big ButUnfortunately, it seems that this prestigious construction in Weißenfels might not happen after all. The city of Halle issued a press release stating that the construction in Halle-Tornau has not been canceled at all. In fact, they were not even aware of such a decision. There is still a plan for a resolution in the Halle city council in March to push forward with the construction there.Sad, isn’t it? Author: AI Translation - Maximus Polemikus | 06.03.2025 |
