The expansion project itself has always been a thorn in the side of Gabriele Wladyka from the Citizens’ List. A demo she initiated was also of no use: “Unfortunately, the monster building at Hochstrasse 141 was approved,” Wladyka wrote on the Bürgerliste homepage in the summer of 20109.
The conversion of the property into a “law firm building”, which had previously gone through almost all building law authorities, was carried out. In 2020, Wladyka also commented on the situation via the Citizens’ List homepage: “The sufferers are once again the residents who then have to live with the fact that someone is making big money here.” Gerald Fürst and Patrick Skalitzy, two lawyers, have had theirs there for a year law firms related.
Now the case has a richer facet. “Trouble at the Sperl family, Hochstrasse 143. A neighbor feels disturbed by keeping chickens. The chickens are registered with the BH and everything is legal. But the rooster crows so loudly that working in the law firm is almost impossible,” says an email that Wladyka, as the managing councilor responsible for construction, monument preservation, surveying, wastewater disposal and sewer construction, and public lighting, sent to the media.
Including the letter from the lawyers requesting “cease and desist” in accordance with the “General Civil Code” (ABGB). “The noise that comes from keeping chickens unreasonably interferes with the intended use of our office. “Your rooster crows countless times a day,” which seriously disrupts the work. “Well – once again a burning problem in our beautiful place,” says Wladyka: “We are of the opinion: the rooster was there before.”
“So far, no one has ever complained,” says the 77-year-old chicken owner in an interview noe.ORF.at. Lawyer Patrick Skalitzky sees it a little differently when asked by NÖN: “We sought to talk to the couple over a long period of time in order to find a solution and also invited them for coffee. Unfortunately, there was no reaction – except that the rooster flew over to us once.” Therefore, we were forced to deliver the legal letter.
The chicken keeper emphasized opposite noe.ORF.atthat it was never intended to cause such a stir. They are trying to find a peaceful solution and are ready to hand over the tap. A solution that the lawyers would be happy with.
Lawyer sees bias
Things are completely different when it comes to Gabriele Wladyka’s role. The last word hasn’t been said yet, Skalitzky noted: He was “almost speechless” because Wladyka had “presented us with a power of attorney from the family, citing her role as managing local councilor and building officer, whereupon she is now keeping chickens in her own area of responsibility wanted to have checked and could not find any violation. This is a clear case of bias.”
In addition, she “posted our letter – as we believe, deliberately with our name – on Facebook, which constitutes a publication of letters that is prohibited under copyright law.” Not to mention the damage to reputation. “Apparently Ms. Wladyka didn’t quite make the transition from a citizens’ initiative to a public official.” As such, her behavior is at least “extremely strange,” Skalitzky states.
Mayor Andrea Kö, ÖVP, is currently on vacation: “I’m very surprised by all of this. I haven’t heard any complaints from anyone yet.” She will deal with the matter as soon as she returns.
