Court Sets Sept. 19 Eviction for Ex‑Minister Günther Krause Over €40,000 Rent Debt

Krause says he will move next week, promising to clear the arrears.

Overview

  • The Amtsgericht Potsdam issued a final ruling ordering Günther Krause and his wife to vacate their Alt Töplitz home and pay roughly €40,000 in unpaid rent.
  • Krause told the Nordkurier he plans to move next week and that the arrears will be settled, though no payment has been confirmed.
  • A court-appointed bailiff is scheduled to carry out the eviction on 19 September, according to the reports.
  • Rent for the semi‑detached house was reportedly paid irregularly and has not been paid since November 2022, with the monthly rate cited as €1,424.
  • Members of the owners' association cited repeated broken payment promises, and neighbors complained about a neglected property, with coverage also recalling an earlier unauthorized villa stay and his 2023 conviction.
