Overview
- The Hamburg Administrative Court issued a provisional injunction halting all felling and clearing in the Wilder Wald and ordered the Hamburg-Mitte district office to stop works pending a further decision.
- Nabu filed the urgent application and called the ruling a partial victory, stating it will continue seeking full protection of the woodland.
- The disputed first step involved about 790 square meters within the roughly nine-hectare site, which is slated in the Spreehafenviertel plans for around 1,100 homes on that parcel.
- Nabu has said the 790-square-meter strip was offered in a land exchange with a neighboring developer, a point contested in the broader dispute over the area.
- Activists protested at the site Tuesday morning with some tree occupations as police monitored the registered rally, and the occupation was later cleared, according to taz, while a final court decision is still pending.
