Overview
- The Tennisclub Rot‑Weiß Gießen issued a fristlose Kündigung in April after the board said the new tenants did not disclose they would not serve alcohol and accused them of deception.
- Bayram and Isabell Dalkilic say they declared an alcohol‑free, family‑focused concept from the start, renovated the restaurant, moved in with their three children and plan to open at the end of May.
- Reporting shows the signed pachtvertrag contains no clause forcing the sale of beer or wine, and both sides now have lawyers reviewing written objections and offers.
- The tenants offered compromises such as members bringing their own beer, an alcohol vending machine, or sales from a hut outside, but the club rejected these proposals and has threatened an eviction suit (Räumungsklage).
- The case could set a wider precedent about Gewohnheitsrecht versus explicit contract terms and highlights the practical risk to the family if the dispute escalates to the courts.
