Overview

  • The landlord of the AfD's Berlin-Reinickendorf headquarters has filed an eviction lawsuit after the party ignored a lease termination notice issued for alleged rule violations.
  • Key incidents cited by the landlord include the unauthorized projection of the AfD logo on the building's façade and hosting an unapproved courtyard event.
  • Initial discussions to sell the property to the AfD at a mid double-digit million-euro price fell apart when party officials proposed a significantly lower valuation.
  • The landlord, Lukas Hufnagl, attributes the alleged breaches and failed negotiations to senior AfD officials Carsten Hütter and Hans-Holger Malcomes.
  • The AfD remains in the building while the eviction lawsuit proceeds and is reportedly exploring alternative office options.
