Porsche's Tunnel Plan Backs Down

Wolfgang Porsche, the legendary car magnate, sparked fury in Salzburg by planning a private 500-meter tunnel from a public parking lot to his historic villa—once home to famed writer Stefan Zweig. Locals branded it a “tunnel for one,” fueling protests against inequality and rising housing costs. Though the tunnel’s permits remain valid until 2028, Porsche has quietly listed the villa for over 12 million euros, seemingly backing down under public pressure. City officials can’t afford to buy it for a Zweig museum, while realtors now tout the approved tunnel as a unique selling point—turning a controversial project into a luxury asset.
