Stink from the new cowshed: residents in Kleincarsdorf in distress!

In the idyllic surroundings of Kleincarsdorf, a new cowshed is causing discontent among the residents. The modernly designed stable, which opened in Kreischa in June of this year, offers space for 630 cows and 150 calves. But the joy of the prosperous dairy farm doesn't last long, because the odor nuisance causes massive problems for many residents. Loud Sächsische.de The people of Kleincarsdorf struggle with unpleasant smells that make it almost impossible to ventilate the houses. As a result, many properties are difficult to use and health problems become widespread.

The situation is particularly dramatic in a family whose children have to spend the night in the living room because of the smell because their bedroom is perceived as unacceptable. The “Livable Kleincarsdorf” interest group took the problem into account with odor protocols and pointed out the grievances before and during the construction process. Despite the concerns and a petition signed by over 159 of 193 eligible residents rejecting the construction of the industrial dairy farm, the construction of the cowshed was not prevented.

While the residents in Kleincarsdorf insist on their rights being respected, it remains to be seen how the situation around the modern cowshed will develop and whether the measures against the nuisance will be effective.
