Millions of Wasted Investment Instead of a Future Project? Why Leuna III is on Hold and IKIG (Intermunicipal Industrial Zone) Will Be the Next Flop!


The chemical site Leuna has been made up of Leuna I and Leuna II since the days of the GDR. A large expansion, Leuna III, has been discussed for a long time.



Leuna III is supposed to be built towards Weißenfels, on the right side of the B91. Technically, this area belongs to Merseburg. However, since Merseburg does not have a name in the chemical industry, it is meant to be called Leuna III. With highway access, the B91, and the proximity to Germany's largest chemical site, the location would be perfect.

So far, so good! But the development costs have now risen from 300 million to 350 million euros. Construction was already planned to start long ago. If I'm correctly informed, however, the project has been postponed until 2030 – partly because current demand is insufficient and partly because, given the current economic and energy policy situation, all major companies are holding back or have even put their plans on hold.

And now, just a few kilometers away, the IKIG – whose name alone is very awkward and uninspired – is supposed to be created across agricultural, forest, and landscape areas for a new industrial zone?!

This cannot be logically explained in any way!

I have been relatively involved in the industry and chemicals sector over the past 20 years, I have quite good contacts there, I am in regular communication, and I am directly from the Leuna/Merseburg region. But I only heard about this IKIG here in the group. Before, I hadn’t read or heard anything about it anywhere! I asked a few engineers and plant managers from the Leuna and Schkopau sites via WhatsApp if they knew about IKIG. They all replied with "No" and asked what that was.

As so often happens, a huge area of agricultural land and nature will probably be flattened here – only to end up as an investment ruin ten years later! There are countless examples of this all over Germany!
