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

Three additional lawsuits totaling roughly €628,000 remain before the Landgericht München I.

Overview

  • In the first case heard on January 14, Winterscheidt sought about €75,000, including a €62,285.43 advance and €12,015.14 in expert and architect costs.
  • The parties agreed to a €50,000 payment to Winterscheidt with his claims withdrawn in that proceeding, subject to a three-week objection period for the defendants.
  • Allegations focus on faulty waterproofing at windows, the sauna, floor slabs, wall connections, a round window, the pool wall in the property’s lightwell, and façade gutters.
  • Defense counsel denies design or construction errors and contends observed damage resulted from inspection openings made for expert assessments.
  • The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 12 on a €132,781.94 claim that includes alleged sealing faults around a car lift.
