Legal Dispute on the Castle of Salem: Prince of Baden threatens selling
Stuttgart - 2007-11-01 - K. Asmuss
The legal dispute on the Castle of Salem has reached a new stage: While the ownerships structures remain unclear, Prince Bernhard of Baden alerts the adventure’s ruin till the end of the year. Groaning under a mountain of debt of about € 30 millions, all attempts to transform the castle’s status in a donation have been disappointed. Albeit the experts’ expertise on the controversial issue of the object’s ownership, Prince Bernhard now expressed his intention to sell the estate to foreign interested parties. From the scientific point of legal monument protection, scepticism has been raised: According to Dieter Planck, president of the state’s administration of monumental protection, an essential renovation is unavoidable, so that not only the purchase price has to be performed, but also costly obligations, imposed by the administration of cultural protection. Having in mind the financial burden of the sustentation of already 250 castles, Oettinger, the prime minister of Baden-Württemberg, aspires a solution, which narrows the state’s engagement of the Castle of Salem. Notwithstanding all disaccording of ownership and legal claims, the parties shouldn’t lose of sight the obligation to protect the estate for the future; thus, the best solution for the Castle’s welfare has to be found.
