Hildburghausen has to pay back 242,000 euros for illegal roads!
The district of Hildburghausen is forced to make a repayment of grants used for the controversial construction of Kreisstraße 530 between Eisfeld and Heid. In total, the district has to repay 180,000 euros, plus interest of 62,000 euros. The reason for this decision: The legal foundations for road construction were classified as inadmissible, such as insuedthueringen.de reported.
The project, which was built on a former railway line, came under criticism because no planning approval process was carried out during the planning. The state administration office in Weimar has classified the building as illegal construction. A spokesman emphasized that Deutsche Bahn may want to reactivate the tracks in the future, which is why an exemption from the Federal Railway Authority is not possible. District Administrator Thomas Müller (CDU) also takes the view that no approval was necessary, but at the same time believes that the railway line will probably never be revived at this point for cost reasons MDR.de.
Despite these arguments, the district has now given up the lawsuit against the repayment. District Administrator Sven Gregor (Free Voters) stated that he considered the lawsuit from 2021 to be hopeless and so the decision was made to repay it. The situation reveals a sensitive issue: strict compliance with procurement regulations, as required in integrated rural development. Loud ksb-intax.de violations such as the lack of planning contracts cannot be subsequently corrected without tender.
Shock about repayment
The decision to repay has caused excitement in the region. The question of whether the funds should actually have been repaid is a hot topic among the citizens and those responsible. District Administrator Gregor believes that this repayment makes a clear sign that legal guidelines are taken seriously. In this step, critics see an unnecessary burden on the district.
The repayment also highlights the need for careful planning and compliance in future projects. The focus on procurement law compliance is essential to avoid similar problems in the future.
Looking ahead to future projects, it is to be hoped that a good hand in planning will be demonstrated in the future so that the region benefits from its developments - without causing difficulties that put a strain on the municipal coffers.
