Reply to comment by Loki-L in TIL: Staufen, Germany, a picturesque town with buildings dating to the 16th century, is literally being destroyed by a failed attempt to harness geothermal energy. by AUWarEagle82

Sabine implies there may be other towns that have suffered similar problems.

That is mentioned in the Tom Scott video too. I guess Staufen is either the worst hit or the most photogenic example of that particular group. Certainly a nearly 5 century old city hall slowly being torn apart makes it more of an attention getter than the other ones.
