Despite hundreds of objections, contradictions and suggestions, the so-called Vogelviertel in Ottobrunn will be densified with four blocks of flats; around 70 trees will fall victim to the construction project. "This is a huge intervention in nature. Absolute overexploitation," says Erika Aulenbach, municipal councilor of the Ottobrunn Citizens' Association (BVO), about the plans of the Munich investor Felix Eichbauer. Mayor Thomas Loderer...
