Fight for the Dannenröder Forest

The planned section of the A49 runs from Stadtallendorf to Gemünden (Felda). To this end, around 64 hectares of forest will be cut down, of which 27 in the Dannenröder forest. The forest area is privately owned and, according to Hubertus Bieneck, operations manager of the forest owners’ association Schenck zu Schweinsberg, covers an area of ​​around 1,000 hectares.

Environmental and climate protectors consider the highway project outdated because it gets in the way of a traffic change. Proponents, on the other hand, expect less traffic noise in surrounding villages, shorter distances for commuters, and a more direct connection to the road network for businesses.
