Melanie Müller’s Leipzig Home Set for May 7 Forced Auction

A court appraisal cites a lifelong residential right for her children, sharply limiting the asset's marketability.

Overview

  • The Amtsgericht Leipzig scheduled the foreclosure for 7 May at 13:00, publicly listed on Saxony’s portal under file number 485 K 39/24.
  • An expert report published by the court estimates the former railway building’s market value at about €800,000 with roughly 595 m² of rentable space after a 2020 modernization.
  • The appraisal records a lifelong residential right for Müller's children that bars owner occupancy or renting, reducing the effective value to around €50,000.
  • Media reports citing court documents indicate the property remains in Müller’s name, and neither she nor her lawyer has commented on the auction.
  • In January, the Leipzig court upheld convictions for a Hitler salute and drug possession with a €3,500 fine; Müller has filed a revision as she faces about €150,000 in tax arrears plus roughly €41,000 owed to other creditors.
