Overview
- The property owner, Dr. Aldinger & Fischer, says negotiations have failed and it will continue legal action to evict the volunteer-run association from the Spandau site.
- The company says it offered to extend the lease to early 2031 for €1 per year and to cover six-figure return costs in exchange for a future commercial development option.
- District officials call the proposal unacceptable and refuse to alter the 2012 plan that designates the plot as a special Westernstadt zone.
- The owner criticizes the district and the association for not responding to its proposal and says an eviction lawsuit was filed in late summer.
- The association has not returned the grounds, the district has taken over talks, and public support continues through a petition and demonstrations.
