Overview
- On Wednesday, the civic group HochhausSTOP said it will support a Normenkontrollklage and is negotiating with nearby property owners and recognised associations to act as plaintiffs with a tentative goal to file by year‑end.
- The contested Bebauungsplan for the Paketpost‑Areal formally came into force on June 30 and authorises two 155‑metre towers within a mixed‑use quarter of about 1,190–1,200 apartments and roughly 3,000 jobs.
- The city planning department and the Büschl‑Gruppe insist the plan was lawfully prepared, say a court challenge would not automatically suspend project work, and continue preparatory planning and early financing talks.
- Opponents cite specific objections they plan to raise in court, including higher CO2 from tall buildings, heat and groundwater risks, noise and traffic concerns, and visual harm to Schloss Nymphenburg, while former mayor Christian Ude alleges the city’s land‑use deal may breach Sobon rules.
- A Normenkontrollklage would name the city as defendant, requires plaintiffs with legal standing, would not by itself stop construction, and if successful could force the developer to abandon the multi‑billion‑euro project or reopen planning decisions.
