Overview
- Gercke posted images and video on Instagram this week showing a large water puddle in a cellar room of the freshly renovated Berlin house and described the recurrence as a 'curse'.
- Reports from German outlets say the damage followed severe summer thunderstorms that swept parts of Berlin and struck the family’s new home within days of their move.
- The move itself was already difficult because of a recent heatwave and the family’s arrival in the house with partner Dustin Schöne and their two daughters was only completed days before the new leak.
- The house previously suffered a water incident during renovation in December 2025 when workers accidentally drilled into the underfloor heating and flooded a bathroom.
- Coverage so far relies on Gercke’s social posts and media reports; outlets have not yet reported independent technical assessments, the extent of repair work, or any insurance response, and those developments will determine practical consequences for the family.
