Seventh Time – And No End in Sight: Uichteritz Can Count on One Thing – The Inaction of the City of Weißenfels


It is done – the dreaded seventh time! Once again, a truck, this time with Polish license plates, has wedged itself in the narrow streets of Uichteritz. Once again, the 200-year-old house of Herward Winter has been damaged. And once again, the city of Weißenfels shows what you can really count on: consistent inaction.



Since 2019, the problem has been known – see article from November 25, 2024. Since 2019, requests, suggestions, and complaints have been ignored. No response. No solution. No sense of responsibility. Just a dull silence that screams louder than any excuse.

It would have been so simple: A weight limit for the bottlenecks at Findberg and Mühlberg. A clear detour for heavy vehicles. Proper signage. A clarifying conversation with the affected citizens. But all of that would have likely required effort – and effort seems to overwhelm the city administration of Weißenfels as soon as it's not about large projects or image management.



Thus, Uichteritz remains a place where citizens can watch their houses slowly be eroded by ignorance. Herward Winter had already experienced for the seventh time on April 4, 2025, how his roof was damaged because the city administration prefers to fall into impotence rather than take action. Each time, the fight for compensation falls on him – especially arduous when foreign truck companies are involved. Support from the city? Of course, none to be found.



The underlying problem is obvious: Misguided trucks trying to reach the Mühlberg industrial area on impassable roads – because the administration has never bothered to put up a few signs or better mark alternative routes. Instead, they continue to allow heavy vehicles to maneuver through narrow alleys, prefer to endanger lives, and accept damage to the historic village appearance rather than take action.

The irony of it all: While administrations elsewhere boast about citizen involvement, mobility concepts, and safety, Weißenfels relies on its proven strategy: We do nothing – and we do it consistently.

The crucial question is no longer when the next truck will get stuck – but only how bad it will be the eighth, ninth, and tenth time. And perhaps, one day, the roof of Herward Winter’s house will be completely gone. But even then, no one in the city will probably remember ever hearing about it.

In Uichteritz, at least one thing is certain: You can count 100% on the inaction of the city of Weißenfels.
