In Brief

Authorities closed a campsite at Schachtsee lake in Wolmirsleben due to safety violations. The owner blocked the entrance with a concrete block, prompting police to clear the area.

A conflict has escalated at a closed campsite on Schachtsee lake in Wolmirsleben, Salzlandkreis, Saxony-Anhalt. Authorities shut down the site over violations of building codes, fire safety and environmental regulations, confirmed by courts. Owner Joachim Nöske responded by blocking the entrance with a concrete block.

On Wednesday, building inspectors and police cleared the premises. Nöske accuses authorities of heavy-handedness, while the district administration cites persistent lawbreaking. Swimming access to the lake is only allowed if the bathing area is clearly separated from the closed site; otherwise, fines apply.
