Dohna plans upheaval: exit from industrial park is causing heated debate!

in Dohna is bubbling hard: the city is now planning to separate itself from the long-standing industrial park partnerships with Pirna and Heidenau. This step is no coincidence. The Dohna city councilors have been calling for this resignation for six years, and dissatisfaction with the joint development in the industrial park is growing. Opinions on the planned projects differ significantly. This has now led to a dramatic increase in costs for the development plan, which was shot from 140 million euros for 140 hectares to a whopping 172 million euros for only 86 hectares. As a result of this price explosion, the development of the area was initially stopped in 2024 until there are specific buyers, such as Saechsische.de reported.

The Dohna City Council has now decided four key points and one wish to regain the sovereignty over the urban areas. The heart of these plans is a development plan for around 16 hectares in Dohna. Among the planned measures can be found, among other things, the dependency on the Reppchenstraße from the motorway feeder in order to increase safety at the intersection on the Kuxberg. In addition, a traffic light at the intersection with the A17 driveway towards Prague is to be installed in order to minimize truck traffic over the market. This innovation would lead truck drivers who miss the branch directly to the motorway without burdening the inner city area.

together strong for the future

The projects are not only to be seen as individual measures, but are to be realized in six construction phases, whereby even a reserve is planned for a later expansion of the area. A minimum distance of 100 meters to the nearby residential buildings "An der Bodlitz" is also required to respect the quality of life of the residents. A not inconsiderable point when you consider how important it is to involve the social issues in urban development, as well as staedtetag.de underlines.

in Dohna has developed a new unity at the political level, which in the past has often been a sought -after asset. Mayor Ralf Müller emphasizes that this cooperation has achieved a "new quality". The goal is clear: Dohna wants to have a say in the sale of industrial park areas, which requires a change in the statutes of the industrial park. A two-thirds majority is required for this, and this means that Pirna also has to stand behind the plans. Pirna has six votes in the special -purpose association assembly, while Dohna and Heidenau each hold three voices, which makes the negotiations even more exciting.

Where does the path lead?

The future of Dohna depends on the upcoming developments and their implementation. The update of the land use plan of the Dohna-Müglitztal administrative community has already been approved and determines the intended use of land in the city. The chances are good when political decision -makers work in accordance with the citizens and the economic requirements. Ultimately, it is the mixtures of residential, commercial and industrial areas as well as green spaces that will make up the attractiveness of the city and shape future life in Dohna.

The next few months will surely be exciting, because Dohna faces the challenge of implementing a sustainable urban development strategy into a permanent reality. The will to change is strong and the Dohnaer seem ready to actively shape their city. Will you have a good hand? We keep you up to date!
