Suddenly it was over

How the “siege” of the Zieselwiese came to an end

A lot of forbidden things (right) allegedly happened. But now the gophers are at peace again - although it will take time for the animals, who are used to passers-by, to recover from the shock.(Bild: Krone KREATIV/zVg, P. Huber)

One had the impression that the proverbial "mills" of the institutions were not getting going at all. After a partial withdrawal, part of a fleet of wagons reportedly continued to occupy the Zieselwiese site near Gerasdorf near Vienna. The "Krone" knows how - contrary to all indications - the siege came to a very rapid end.

At the weekend, the situation still seemed deadlocked: Despite great efforts with a lot of persuasion, not much seemed to be happening - apart from a partial withdrawal. Even on Monday morning, the situation on the gopher meadow near Gerasdorf near Vienna with the protected gophers remained unchanged.
