Berlin Court Orders Staged AfD Exit by 2026, Rejects Immediate Eviction

The court found the landlord’s fristlose Kündigung improper for lack of a prior warning, with an appeal to the Kammergericht still open.

Overview

  • The Landgericht Berlin ruled that the AfD breached its lease with an unauthorized election‑night party on 23 February 2025 but said an extraordinary termination was invalid without a prior Abmahnung.
  • Judges applied the landlord’s contractual Sonderkündigungsrechte, setting move‑out deadlines on 30 September, 30 November and 31 December 2026 for different parts of the headquarters.
  • The demand for a summary eviction was denied, and the landlord’s company was ordered to cover the litigation costs.
  • Both sides have one month to appeal to the Kammergericht, and prosecutors are still examining criminal complaints the landlord filed against AfD officials.
  • AfD representatives said they are seeking a new, more central base near the Bundestag and signaled they could relocate earlier than the court’s deadlines.
