Digital general meeting of the association “Atomic free 3-country corner”
By Peter Vössing
Beverungen / Würgassen – nothing like this has ever existed in the region. The “Atomic Free 3-Ländereck” association, which is committed to preventing the nuclear storage facility in Würgassen, held its general meeting entirely online.

Around 150 regular members followed the event in front of their home computer via the zoom conference and the supporting members were connected to YouTube. The board had met in the Beverunger Stadthalle in compliance with the Corona distance regulations and was streamed live on the Internet. Members could use the chat function to express their contributions.
After months of internal squabbles, the meeting had become necessary. At the end of the three-and-a-half-hour meeting it was clear that the association would get a completely new board, for which a voting with postal vote will now be pending.
The members sitting at their home screens were greeted by Prof. Dr. Dr. Martin Hörning, who chaired the meeting, and the other board members Hubertus Hartmann, Edith Götz, Heinrich Wenisch and Wilhelm Holz.
During his welcome, Hörning once again pointed out that lately around 80 percent of the board’s work has been devoted to internal disputes and that it was no longer possible to work effectively towards the club’s actual goal.
The dispute arose after former chairman Dirk Wilhelm resigned from office last October. Attempts to mediate had failed since then, so that the board now decided to resign as a whole. The chairman stated that the association needed a new board in order to be able to concentrate on its actual tasks.
The incumbent board wants to withdraw completely and was therefore no longer available for election. The good work of the “old” board of directors was underlined again and again that evening. Many members therefore wanted the new board of directors to be mixed with the presidium still in office. However, this was not complied with.
First of all, an electoral committee was appointed which will deal with filling the board positions by postal vote.
When the candidates were nominated, it quickly became clear that the former chairman Dirk Wilhelm would run for the office of chairman again. He had already positioned himself with other supporters in a video clip on Facebook.
With Martin Zühlsdorf and Susanne Wilke, the Drenker had two opposing candidates. For health reasons, however, Zühlsdorf had to back down. So the only opposing candidate is the lawyer and independent property manager Susanne Wilke, who has lived in the Weser Uplands for three years.
Martin Ahlborn from Uslar and Martin Hoppe from Bad Karlshafen were applicants for the post of second chairman. The former cashier Katrin Meyer from Meinbrexen, who at that time left the board with Dirk Wilhelm, would like to work as a cashier again. Rüdiger Brandt from Roggental, Thorsten Schäfer from Bad Karlshafen, Paul Weskamp from Ottbergen, Reiner Lenzing from Bad Karlshafen and Oliver Stellmacher from Fürstenberg will take over for the four assessors.
The postal voting documents should be sent to a lawyer. The current board remains in office until the results are announced.
Prof. Dr. Dr. Towards the end of the meeting, Martin Hörning went into the BGZ’s position on the BI report. He found the extensive response to be remarkable and concluded from it that the BGZ had hit the bull’s eye with the report. He announced a statement on the BGZ’s reaction by the authors of the report. Lawyer Siegfried de Witt had already suggested in a letter that a supplementary plan approval procedure and the associated expropriation of land at the Konrad repository could very well be carried out.
After the online session, there was much praise from the members for the successful and factual implementation of the digital event. The members will receive the postal voting documents in a timely manner so that they can vote on the new board. It is now hoped that the fight against the impending nuclear waste dump can be intensified again.
