BVG verpflichtet, Schmerzensgeld wegen rassistischem Vorfall zu zahlen Die Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) müssen erstmals einem Fahrgast aufgrund eines rassistischen Vorfalls bei einer Fahrscheinkontrolle Schmerzensgeld zahlen. Der Kläger, ein Sänger der Deutschen Oper, erhält laut Urteil eine Entschädigung in Höhe von 1.000 Euro. Das Schmerzensgeld wurde ihm zugesprochen, da sein Allgemeines Persönlichkeitsrecht verletzt wurde, so eine Sprecherin der Berliner Zivilgerichte. Das Urteil wurde am 10. Juli gefällt, ist jedoch noch nicht rechtskräftig. Zuvor hatte die „Berliner Zeitung“ darüber berichtet. Der Vorfall ereignete sich im Jahr 2020, als der Mann von Mitarbeitern eines von der BVG beauftragten Sicherheitsunternehmens in der U-Bahn rassistisch …

BVG obliges to pay pain and suffering due to racist incident

The Berlin transport company (BVG) must pay compensation for the first time due to a racist incident in the event of a ticket control. According to the judgment, the plaintiff, a singer of the German Opera, receives compensation of 1,000 euros. He was granted the compensation for pain and suffering because his general right of personality was violated, said a spokeswoman for the Berlin civil courts.

The judgment was made on July 10, but is not yet final. The "Berliner Zeitung" had previously reported. The incident occurred in 2020 when the man of employees of a security company commissioned by BVG was racially insulted in the subway. In addition, they asked him to "behave in Germany". The exact details of the incident were controversial in court.

The plaintiff referred to the Berlin Anti -Discrimination Act (LADG) in his complaint and requested compensation of at least 2,000 euros. However, the court decided that the LADG was not applicable in this case. There is no "public law action" on the part of the defendant and the security company.

The BVG has not yet commented on the judgment, but emphasized that allegations of discrimination would be taken seriously in any case. Discrimination and violence are not tolerated in your company.

The plaintiff, the opera singer Jeremy Osborne, told the "Berliner Zeitung": "It is incredibly good to know that the judge has recognized that the inspectors violated my human dignity."

Berlin is the only federal state in Germany that has its own anti -discrimination law. This law is intended to protect people in the capital from discrimination by authorities and enable them to claim damages against the state of Berlin.
