Farm in Saalfelden
New proceedings about controversial “GDR farmer”?
The Land Transfer Commission wants to decide today whether to reopen the proceedings. It is still not clear whether the buyer of the farm in Saalfelden, Salzburg, is actually a farmer. Only farmers are allowed to acquire farms.
Has the Hinterlehen estate in Saalfelden (Pinzgau) been acquired by a farmer? Were the documents checked carefully enough? Was the approval of the Land Transfer Commission therefore legal? There are many questions surrounding the Pinzgau farm. After the owners went bankrupt, it was auctioned off and evicted.
As reported, the winning bid went to a German entrepreneur. He is a real estate developer and had acquired a former pig farm from the GDR era. This was to serve as proof of suitability as a farmer. Strong doubts about the "GDR farmer" arose after the purchase. The reopening of the proceedings was therefore examined. The decision is to be made today at the commission meeting - if it really comes to that.
The German had already canceled one appointment. "I hope that the many indications that he is not a genuine farmer will be taken seriously and that a stop will be put to such deals," says Simon Heilig-Hofbauer (Greens), who has been involved in the case for a long time. For him, reopening the proceedings would be "a landmark decision".
