Overview

• Baudezernentin Sylvia Weber will inform the occupants they must leave shortly, and the city with KEG will seek an eviction title and carry out removal if they refuse.
• The KEG development company is tasked with renovating the Lahnstraße property, which the city intends to reopen soon for a district facility such as a quartier management.
• Mayor Mike Josef announced a shift that moves oversight of long-empty city properties to ABG so inspections and needed refurbishments can proceed more quickly.
• City leaders say they want to prevent further occupations and would order immediate clearance in any new cases involving municipal buildings.
• Opposition figures from CDU and FDP criticized the earlier tolerance and welcomed the new approach, with FDP representatives also raising formal legal questions about the city’s handling.
