Overview

  • Landlord Lukas Hufnagl terminated the AfD’s lease for its Berlin-Reinickendorf headquarters and filed an eviction suit at Landgericht II.
  • The lawsuit alleges the party held a February celebration that included grilling in the courtyard and projecting its logo onto the facade without permission, blocking other tenants’ access.
  • The AfD disputes the allegations by citing multiple rental agreements that it says cover exterior spaces through to 2027 and vows to contest the case.
  • The court has suggested a mediated settlement and granted the party until late June to submit its formal response, with no trial date yet scheduled.
  • AfD co-leader Alice Weidel said the party is exploring the purchase of its own property to avoid future lease disputes.
