They no longer talk to each other, but they have a lot to say: in Güttenbach it has been bubbling between two real estate owners for years.
Green meadows and forests form the area around Güttenbach. But the Southern Burgenland idyll is deceptive. A dispute between neighbors have been smoldering here for years because of a fence. He was about to change a few stands with his mini -digging machine, says Franz Hiller. After several stations, even abroad, the 69-year-old moved about five years ago with his wife and dogs to Güttenbach.
And then the fence came …
In 2023 the neighbors eventually built a fence on his property. According to the pensioner, this becomes too high in some places and there is also a risk of injury. He sees as an extra provocation that the tall grass and the trees overgrown him from the natural neighbor. Hiller also states that water from the higher neighbors comes to him, lower and above the ground. When it rains, horse manure is also flushed that the neighbors have stored, says Hiller.
Writing to the authorities
He has therefore contacted all conceivable bodies – from the municipality to the district administration to the state government and the governor. “But nothing came back,” he says.
“Had to protect privacy”
On the other side of the fence, the neighbor, Mrs. N. (name changed), shakes her head in view of the view of the allegations. She founded the gate to protect her privacy. Because before that, Hiller remained towards her and took photos with his cell phone. “Do you want someone to take pictures in your living room?” She asks. That is also the reason why she has so many hedges. According to the invoice and delivery bill, the fence is the permitted two meters high. And Watergutter Downhill, N. Notes.
Garden also good for swallows
She explains the natural garden that she is a member of “nature in the garden”. Your natural corner is a paradise for insects, which in turn is food for the swallows of Hiller. Because the pensions has a real swallow colony with a number of nests.
150 kilos
And the neighbor shoots back: Hiller gathered the piles of his dogs and stacked in bags along the fence, “so it stinks with me,” she says. It is around 150 kilos of dogs of dogs. That is why she has already tackled several places, but nobody was responsible.
False frogs
The pockets with droppings serve to produce flies for the swallows, hilled against. The neighbor also said that he had placed her artificial frogs in front of the bedroom, which is not true, the pensioner is furious.
Speech
There is no more communication between the two parties in the dispute and is even prohibited. N. has obtained a ban on Hiller, which is still valid until the end of July. “I don’t know what it is capable of,” she says.
Mayor tries to settle
The address in Güttenbach is already known to the police. Mayor Leo Radakovits has also dealt with the case several times. “I really try to create peace,” he says. The fence is legally in order. In such a case it is measured from the increased point. The district agency is responsible for the water. However, Radakovits announces that the situation on the spot is viewed.
The origin of the dispute
According to the mayor, the neighborhood dispute originally dealt with a small ownership that the neighbor Hiller did not want to sell. Since then the blessing has been wrong.
Hiller says that he now only communicates in writing with the mayor. He is actually considering turning the fence with the excavator.
And the neighbor? Someone who else has nothing to do than to go to the mind than others, I’m sorry, she says. And: “I believe in justice.”
