Das Landgericht im baden-württembergischen Ellwangen hat die Klage eines X-Nutzers gegen den CDU-Außenpolitiker Roderich Kiesewetter abgewiesen. Es erging ein Versäumnisurteil, wie ein Gerichtssprecher mitteilte.

Overview

  • The Regional Court in Ellwangen rejected the civil claim against Roderich Kiesewetter, a court spokesperson said.
  • A default judgment was entered after the plaintiff’s side failed to submit the necessary motions at the opening hearing.
  • The plaintiff did not appear in person despite a court order, while both sides’ lawyers joined the session online.
  • The decision is not yet final, and the plaintiff has two weeks from service to file an objection to the default judgment.
  • The case stemmed from a 2023 comment under Kiesewetter’s pro-Ukraine post, after which he demanded deletion, a cease-and-desist declaration and reimbursement of legal fees, while the plaintiff sought a ruling denying any injunction and repayment of fees already paid.
