AfD must vacate your federal office in Berlin

The AfD must vacate its federal office in Berlin next year and thus previously provided the rental agreement. This was decided by the Berlin district court on Friday and thus gave a corresponding lawsuit by the landlord of the property. A quality negotiation between the landlord and representative of the AfD on the use of the property in the Wittenau district had failed last week.

With the election party after the Bundestag election on February 23 in the courtyard of the office building, the party had violated the specifications, the Berlin Regional Court decided. However, judge Burkhard Niebisch explained this without notice without notice. According to the judgment, the party must vacate the majority of its rooms on September 30, 2026. It must have left the rest of the area at the latest on December 31, 2026. (3 O 151/25)

According to the complaining real estate company, the courtyard areas and the outer facade of the building are not covered by the rental agreement. The district court decided that the landlord was not reasonable for the landlord because of the defendant’s behavior because of the defendant’s behavior. In its judgment, the court found that the AfD had behaved contrary to the contract. The use of the courtyard and the outer facade are not included in the tenancy, so that she should have obtained a permit from the plaintiff. Nevertheless, the extraordinary dismissals are ineffective because the landlord did not previously warned the party unsuccessfully, the judges were.

The AfD had terminated the owner company of the less central property in the Reinickendorf district because of the election party in the courtyard of the building without notice – but without it beforehand. Since the party refused to move out, the landlord submitted an eviction action. The party has been renting the building in the Wittenau district since 2022. The rental contracts actually run until the end of 2027, but special rights of termination are provided.

This means that the AfD has successfully resisted a corresponding eviction action. Appeal to the Berlin Chamber Court, the next higher instance, can be filed against the judgment.

“A big day for my party. You see me very happy,” said the deputy AfD Federal Spokesman and member of the Bundestag Kay Gottschalk, who represented his party at the hearing. Federal treasurer Carsten Hütter spoke of a “victory for the rule of law”. The verdict shows “our opponents that they can ‘put” the AfD in political debates nor with legal attacks “.

The plaintiff initially left open whether he accepted the judgment. “Regarding the judgment itself, we can only comment, regardless of how this fails, only after submitting and analyzing the reasoning,” the Austrian investor Lukas Hufnagl announced on Thursday.
