The Ministry of Defense is suspending the conversion of properties used by the military for civilian purposes. This also affects sites in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The reason for this is the increased need for sites due to the planned expansion of the Bundeswehr, as announced by the ministry. The conversion freeze will initially affect 187 former military properties owned by the Federal Agency for Real Estate. These are generally suitable for use by the Bundeswehr.
The Ministry of Defense did not initially make the list public. ARD-Hauptstadtstudio reported on a document that also included the Bavarian Erding air base and the Rhine property in Koblenz. This list was also made available to the German Press Agency.
