Berlin Court Sets Oct. 29 Ruling in Dehm’s Suit Over Alleged Wagenknecht Insult

The former Left party lawmaker seeks a cease-and-desist after claiming the BSW leader called him “geistesgestört” to block his membership.

Overview

  • Presiding judge indicated Dehm’s chances of success appear low during the Berlin hearing.
  • Wagenknecht denies having made the alleged remark about Dehm’s mental state.
  • Dehm is asking the court to prohibit future statements he considers defamatory in connection with his potential entry into the BSW.
  • A private settlement failed, the case proceeded in a Berlin civil court, and Wagenknecht was represented by counsel while Dehm appeared in person.
  • The court scheduled its decision for October 29, and Dehm said he may appeal if he loses; his lawyer sought to call musician Tino Eisbrenner as a witness.
