Litigation association

Association supports private individuals in lawsuit against airport expansion

For years, the city of Mainz, along with many other municipalities and public bodies, has been fighting against the planned expansion of Frankfurt Airport as part of the “Zukunft Rhein Main” (ZRM) initiative. Private citizens, too, submitted a total of more than 14,000 objections—from Mainz alone—to the Darmstadt Regional Council as part of the planning approval process.
In addition to “public interest representatives” such as the city of Mainz, numerous private individuals are considering taking legal action against the planned expansion in court. Private individuals can assert other grounds for concern in the event of an expansion than those the City of Mainz could pursue in court.
Such
a lawsuit as a private individual is time-consuming, complex, and costly. For this reason, committed citizens founded the association “For a Livable Mainz and Rheinhessen—Against Aircraft Noise and the Expansion of Frankfurt Airport e.V.” to pursue legal action against the airport expansion at the private level as well, thereby enabling private individuals to assert their rights in court.
The City of Mainz expressly welcomes the founding of the association.

The association consists exclusively of volunteers who have long been committed to opposing the airport expansion. The executive board is advised by its advisory board, which consists of well-known representatives from regional politics, academia, and business.

The association works closely with the litigation association, as well as with the Alliance of Citizens’ Initiatives (BBI), BUND Hessen, various initiatives, and church organizations. The association aims to demonstrate the solidarity and shared interests of the people of Rheinhessen and Mainz.

The association will support lead plaintiffs from Mainz and the area on the left bank of the Rhine in their lawsuit. The goal is to make it clear in court that the region extends beyond the Rhine.

Once the lead plaintiffs have been selected, the association will provide financial support for their lawsuits through a renowned law firm. In doing so, the association will work closely with local government bodies and the legal department of the City of Mainz.
