Fate of homeless camper in Landsberg stirs public emotion

Residents of Landsberg are actively discussing the story of Wolfgang Vogl, who was forced to leave the parking lot at Waitzinger Wiese after an extended stay. A survey of police stations in Landsberg and Dießen found no significant issues with long-term campers, but finding a place for permanent residence in a motorhome is difficult. At campsites in Pitzling and Utting, all 160 and 165 long-term pitches are occupied, with waiting lists of 15 and 70 people respectively. According to traffic regulations, a stationary inhabited vehicle is not considered a road user, and only one night is allowed to restore driving fitness.
