About 2000 people demonstrated against Suedlink. The line will bring wind power from the North to the South of Germany. The protesters are demanding instead a regional power generation.

A wheat field in the vicinity of Schweinfurt. The sun is shining already in the morning, the birds are singing. In the Background, dozens of windmills slowly turn her round. Here, in the lower Franconian mountain Rhine field, soon the Suedlink could be a power line.

farmer Achim selector points to a house that is just next to the field. “Purchased by Tennet. From there, the cable should run straight through the field,” he says. For a distance of 700 kilometres, the Suedlink-power line wind power from the North will bring to industrial sites in the South. Network operators Tennet and TransnetBW presented the end of February, plans for the exact route.
