Unauthorized Construction: Munich Family Battling over Weekend Home Without Required Permits

In the picturesque town of Buch near Inning, a legal dispute over a weekend house has been causing a stir. The property, owned by a Munich family since the 1930s, has been at the centre of a contentious issue due to unauthorized new construction.

The building authority imposed an immediate building stop, and the case has been taken to court. The administrative court is yet to decide whether the property is located in the inner or outer area, a crucial factor in the case.

The five-member panel of judges, under the chairmanship of Judge Johann Oswald, inspected the subject of the dispute and neighbouring buildings. The owner, who admitted to acting "too naively and hastily" during the on-site inspection, had rebuilt their weekend house without a permit, with the intention of allowing the fourth generation of the family to spend leisure time at Lake Ammersee.

The Starnberg district office refused retrospective approval for the rebuilt weekend house, sparking the legal dispute. The new building, intended to preserve the property for future generations, could face demolition in the worst-case scenario.

The lawyer for the plaintiff described the case as a "borderline case" and warned of "dramatic consequences" if the complaint was rejected. The lawyer urged attempts to "avoid a total loss". Judge Oswald noticed "clear indications of the outer area" but the extended new building did not deviate significantly from the character of a weekend house.
