Joko Winterscheidt Reaches €50,000 Settlement in First Munich Construction-Defect Case

Three further cases worth the remainder of roughly €678,000 continue, with the next hearing set for February 12.

Overview

  • Winterscheidt is suing an architect firm and a metal-construction company at the Landgericht München I over alleged defects at his Bogenhausen home.
  • The first of four proceedings ended in a settlement for €50,000, and those claims will be withdrawn unless the defendants object within three weeks.
  • Three additional lawsuits remain active, keeping the total dispute value near €678,000 according to the court.
  • The February 12 session will address €132,781.94 in alleged sealing failures, including at an auto lift.
  • The claims cite waterproofing problems at windows, a sauna, floor slabs, wall connections, a round window, the pool-wall junction and façade gutters, while the defense denies faults and attributes damage to inspection openings.
