Berlin Court to Rule on AfD Headquarters Eviction After Failed Settlement

At issue is the landlord’s immediate termination over a February election-night party despite leases running through 2027.

Overview

  • The Landgericht Berlin is set to announce its judgment at 9:00 a.m. in the eviction case involving the AfD’s federal headquarters.
  • The property owner, Austrian investor Lukas Hufnagl, seeks to remove the party as a tenant, citing alleged violations tied to a courtyard celebration on February 23.
  • The AfD rejects the allegations and characterizes the dispute as purely economic, with deputy federal spokesman Kay Gottschalk representing the party in court.
  • During the hearing the AfD offered to vacate by October 30, 2026 and increase the rent by six percent, an offer the owner declined without a counterproposal.
  • The rental contracts run until the end of 2027 with special termination rights, and an appeal to the Berliner Kammergericht remains available after the ruling.
