Overview

  • A conciliation attempt at the Landgericht Berlin failed, moving the eviction suit to a decision scheduled for September 26.
  • The owner terminated the AfD’s lease without notice after a February 23 event in the courtyard, with claims also citing unauthorized façade lighting with the party logo.
  • Judge Burkhard Niebisch said the party likely breached the contract on first assessment but questioned whether that warrants an immediate termination and noted a prior warning might have been appropriate.
  • The AfD denies wrongdoing, says its contracts run to 2027, and proposed moving out by October 30, 2026 with a 6% rent increase as part of a failed settlement offer.
  • Owner Lukas Hufnagl rejected the proposals as a farce, his lawyer argued the landlord‑tenant trust is destroyed, and reporters noted heated exchanges in court.
