Clash leads to another loss for the left-wing tavern patrons?
The long-standing dispute over the illegal left-wing squat, 'Kadterschmiede', in Berlin-Friedrichshain's Rigaer Street, is moving closer to another potential defeat for the English property owners. The courts are set to make decisions on the 'Kadterschmiede' case and eviction lawsuits against residents of the 'Rigaer 94' building complex in October.
For years, the English-based property company, although unnamed in the search results, has been attempting to evict an illegal bar operating in the side wing of the partially occupied 'Rigaer 94' building. The bar's operators, organized as an association, have been using the premises without a lease since late 2013.
Most of the landlord's eviction lawsuits against the 'Rigaer 94' building have been dismissed as inadmissible on formal grounds. However, a recent development has seen a judge express doubts about the validity of the latest eviction lawsuit, with a decision expected at the Regional Court on October 8.
Simultaneously, Judge Sebastian Pörschke has stated that eviction claims in the 'Kadterschmiede' case could be justified, but he needs to first declare the lawsuit admissible. This decision, which was later confirmed by the Berlin Court of Appeals in summer 2024, states that the society associated with the 'Rigaer 94' building has its administrative seat in England and is authorized to act and institute legal proceedings.
The controversy over the society's authority to act and institute legal proceedings due to its administrative seat in England remains a contentious issue. Previous lawsuits against the squat have been dismissed on formal grounds, with one such dismissal occurring in an earlier proceeding, where the Regional Court dismissed the landlord's lawsuit as inadmissible, primarily due to insufficient power of attorney from the lawyers.
The landlord had requested search warrants for a large police operation conducted about three weeks ago at the barricaded 'Rigaer 94' building, involving around 200 officers, a battering ram, and other technical equipment, with the aim of identifying the current residents.
The 'Rigaer 94' building complex, with around 30 apartments, has been the subject of multiple court cases for years. The left-wing scene in Berlin has repeatedly resisted evictions from the 'Rigaer 94' building.
There are a total of 13 pending cases related to the 'Rigaer 94' building. The plaintiff in the latest lawsuit demands a monthly compensation of 650 euros. The outcome of the October decisions could potentially mark a significant turning point in this long-standing dispute.
