Overview

• Presiding judge Burkhard Niebisch cited clear contractual violations tied to the event but suggested an extraordinary, immediate termination may be disproportionate and that a prior warning could have sufficed.
• The landlord says the AfD staged an unauthorized courtyard celebration on Feb. 23 and projected its logo onto the façade, which the party denies constituted a breach.
• Settlement efforts collapsed after the AfD offered to vacate by Oct. 30, 2026 with a 6% rent increase, an offer the owner rejected as a “farce.”
• Owner Lukas Hufnagl raised additional accusations linked to failed purchase talks and described threats against him, allegations the AfD rejects as politically motivated.
• The AfD has occupied the site under three leases dating from 2022 that nominally run into late 2027 with special termination rights, and it remains in the building pending next week’s decision.
