Memmingen Adopts New Land‑Use Plan as Kempten Revises FNP After DB Objection

Both plans target year‑end submission to the Government of Swabia for approval.

Overview

  • Memmingen’s council approved the Feststellungsbeschluss for a newly recast land‑use plan, replacing the 1990 map after a multi‑year process with extensive public input.
  • The Memmingen plan sets areas for housing and industrial expansion, safeguards green spaces, and identifies sites for ground‑mounted photovoltaics and a potential university.
  • Memmingen officials expect the Government of Swabia to issue approval by the end of the year.
  • Kempten re‑opened public display of its FNP 2040 after a DB Immobilien objection, with rail‑owned parcels now depicted as railway facilities due to existing plan approval and no municipal control.
  • Kempten’s amendments add battery‑storage zones near the Leupolz substation, a solar site by the prison, new forest and biotope links, an updated B12 depiction, and a green corridor, with the shortened comment period ending Oct. 24 ahead of planned submission in 2025.
