Berlin: Pensioner Manfred Moslehner fights against evacuation from the settlement of the century
Berlin-Manfred Moslehner already lives his whole life in the settlement on Steinberg in Berlin-Tegel. Here, in the street at the fountain of "Klebelkleckersdorf", he was born 84 years ago. Now a private investor wants to put the pensioner at the door! "Solidarity with Manne", "Manne stays!", Annoy the protest posters with which the demonstrators have positioned themselves in front of the Moslehner house. The mood is hot, people are angry, tired and frustrated. "I didn't sleep at all. I don't know what I would do without the others. Then I would probably no longer live here," says Moslehner. "The others" are his neighbors. They all live in the picturesque historical settlement in Wittenau with the small houses and large gardens, which was built in 1920 as a social housing construction project. And they all want to stop “Stonehill Gardens”.
After real estate investors from "WertConcept" bought the area 13 years ago, the 34 neighbors fight for the preservation of their settlement, for neighborhood and their old neighborhood instead of luxury apartments and gentrification.
"How many times we complained, have been threatened or were threatened or were together in the district court knows, I think none of us. In "Kleinkeckersdorf" it also grew up.
"Manne is just the beginning because he is older and alone. He is the weakest link. If it works with him, they continue with us," says Hans-Hartmund Lenz (71), for whom the fight against "Stonehill Gardens" has now become a full-time job. Because the many banners and their small information booth build the demonstrators every morning and off every evening.
contact with the tenants of the settlement on Steinberg had not yet been looking for investors. One only communicates through the lawyers that there was no courtesy. Even the evacuation is legally binding, the residents repeatedly emphasize - while "WertConcept" only refers to the "legally binding eviction lawsuit" on request.
What is right and what is right seems less to be seen here every day. One thing is certain: "I've been living here for 84 years and will not leave my house. And if you have to throw me out!", Says Muslehner when he is waiting for the arrival of his clearing command.
