Overview
- Leipzig’s district court, which held the foreclosure auction Thursday, received no bids and paused the case, allowing Müller to stay in the house for now.
- The four creditors—a savings bank, the tax office, the City of Leipzig and a law firm—can reapply for an auction within six months or approve a private sale that needs all of them to agree.
- A court appraisal put the property at about €800,000, the minimum bid was €400,000, and reporting cites a private offer of roughly €725,000 submitted in April.
- Judges questioned a claimed long‑term ground‑floor tenant because the named company was deleted from the commercial register, a doubt that likely discouraged buyers.
- Court filings list sizeable debts—about €150,000 in taxes, roughly €18,000 to the city and about €530,000 tied to the house—and any successful auction would cancel a registered right for her children to live there.
