Leipzig need a new stadium

Looking for something else, i stumbled across this sad news

Looking for a new speedway site

At the turn of the year they brought an application into the process, which aims to dissolve the Motodrom that exists there in the middle of the forest. The MC Post Leipzig e. V. at home and has a lease until 2028. The Greens have nothing against the motorsport club and its work.But  from their point of view, the motorsport facility has no place in the middle of a sensitive forest.

“At Cottaweg there is an urban plot of land that has been leased as a motorsport and speedway area since 1975 to the present day - currently to MC Post Leipzig e. V. The club's grounds are in the middle of the Leipziger forest conservation area and are located at one of the most critical points of the Leipzig forest, on the border between the northern and southern  forest, "they explain their request in the application to start talks with the MC Post in 2022 and after to look for new club premises so that the area on Cottaweg can become part of the floodplain development concept

“According to the decisions of the INSEK, a strengthening of the green corridor along the Cottaweg is planned by the city administration from 2022 onwards. The MC Post Leipzig e. V. has no development opportunities at this sensitive point as an association, as extensions are not permitted in the landscape protection area under building law. " The work of the MC Post Leipzig e.V. with its approx. 60 members is fully appreciated by the proposal of the Greens. But there are no opportunities to grow on Cottaweg. “However, the infrastructure on the site is badly ailing and can no longer be maintained by the association, let alone extensively renewed. Urgently needed pits area and garage systems can no longer be installed. The further development of the sports offers in the direction of ice speedway and trial, which the association is striving for, is hardly feasible. The necessary fitness training and the compulsory fitness tests have to be completed for a long time in sports halls rented for this purpose, ”is how the application goes into more detail about the club and its problems.

“In order to give the association a development perspective on the one hand and to strengthen the floodplain system on the other hand, the city must immediately start working on solutions together with the association. For example, the city of Neubrandenburg has recently embarked on the path of building a new speedway facility. "
