Environmental protection? Only as long as someone else pays! Saxony-Anhalt and the Free State of Thuringia refuse to clear waste from their property in the Burgenland districtWhen it comes to environmental and climate protection, state governments otherwise know no restraint. Big words, big goals, big responsibility. But heaven forbid the bill lands on their own table. Then moral duty suddenly turns into a “legal question” – and environmental protection into a cost calculation. The scrap tire storage site in Borau, which District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) addressed during the district council meeting on 12/8/2025 (see video), is a textbook example of this. For years an illegal mountain of waste, for years ignored, for years “unclear ownership.” And just when this problem is finally resolved – the property passes to the state by inheritance, specifically to the State of Saxony-Anhalt and the Free State of Thuringia – something remarkable happens: responsibility suddenly disappears again. Because no sooner do the states officially become owners than the objection arrives straight out of the textbook of political convenience: The costs of clearing exceed the value of the property – therefore, please no obligation to clear it. In other words: Waste is only a problem when someone else has to dispose of it. What is openly revealed here is nothing less than state-sanctioned irresponsibility. The very same states that tirelessly lecture municipalities, citizens, and companies that environmental protection is without alternative suddenly argue like shady real estate sharks: Not worth it. Too expensive. No business case. The ecological damage? Secondary. The signal it sends? Devastating. Credibility? No longer measurable. And while Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia entrench themselves behind cost–benefit calculations, the district administration of the Burgenland district initially appears strikingly toothless. One “reviews legally,” one “will decide,” one “informs about progress.” That sounds like administration – not enforcement. Like waiting – not acting. Yet it can be done differently. The Schelkau case proves this impressively. There, there was no debate; there was action. Final and binding clearance order, substitute performance, specialist company, two weeks – waste gone. And lo and behold: suddenly there is enforcement power. Suddenly costs are consistently imposed on the polluter. Suddenly environmental law works the way it was intended. So why full force here – and polite hesitation there? The bitter answer is: Because in Borau it does not affect just any property owner, but the states themselves. And apparently environmental standards apply only as long as they can be imposed on others. That is the real declaration of bankruptcy. Not the waste. But the attitude behind it. Because a state that argues environmental protection does not pay economically has forfeited any moral right to demand it of others. And anyone who, as an owner, shirks responsibility while citizens are penalized for every incorrectly disposed bag destroys trust – sustainably. Borau therefore does not only reveal a waste problem. Borau reveals an attitude problem. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
