Court overturns Wolkenstein camper ban
Original source: RaiNews

An administrative court has overturned a Wolkenstein municipality ordinance that prohibited parking campers between 8 PM and 6 AM. The court ruled that such parking restrictions fall under the authority of the administration, not political bodies. The decision was made on procedural grounds, without examining the substantive dispute over potential discrimination.

Italian motorhome association challenges overnight ban in Wolkenstein

A national motorhome association has filed a complaint with the Bolzano administrative court against a ban on overnight stays in vehicles in the municipality of Wolkenstein. The ban, unique in South Tyrol, is justified by hygiene issues, landscape protection, and public order. The court hearing is scheduled for March 25, with a ruling expected months later.

Court overturns motorhome parking ban in Wolkenstein

The Regional Administrative Court in Bolzano ruled against the municipality of Wolkenstein, annulling a ban on overnight parking of motorhomes on public lots. The lawsuit was filed by the National Association of Camper and Motorhome Owners. The court found that the municipal council lacked the authority to impose such restrictions, and a subsequent attempt to enforce the ban via a mayor's decree was also legally insufficient. The municipality must also cover the association's legal costs, amounting to a five-figure sum.
