"Many cried": Disbelief after permanent camping debacle

The Karlstein municipal council terminated all 360 permanent plots at the Weißsee lake in Großwelzheim, Bavaria, in August 2025, giving occupants until March 2026 to vacate. The decision, citing a need for 2.4 million euros to address critical safety issues in the aging infrastructure, has sparked protests and the formation of a citizens' initiative. While a similar scenario is not currently anticipated at the Mainflinger Badesee in Hessen, the situation is being closely monitored following a comparable termination in Wörth am Main.
