An exciting drama unfolds in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg! The district administration has imposed a drastic budget lock with immediate effect. In the middle of a tense financial climate, the signs are red: a minus of a whopping 8.5 million euros threatens, and this is not a typical summer hole, but an acute financial disaster for the district!

The causes of this alarming decline? High expenses drive up the numbers! Whether the cost -intensive cleaning of schools or exploding energy costs - everything sums up and exceeds the funds provided by the country. The social expenditure for integration assistance and youth welfare also go beyond the allocations and open the financial situation of the administration.

What does that mean?

What the budget lock will not do is worsen basic care! The most important tasks of the administration remain unaffected. The existing institutions are preserved, legal obligations are fulfilled and important construction projects are also continued. This is good news in this financial misery!

It is not the first time that Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg has to fight the budget lock. Such a measure was taken last year to avert a deficit shock this year. And many other districts in Berlin are also affected by this unsightly development - the financial quarrels of the city are too top!

District Mayor Clara Herrmann speaks plain text: "The Berliners are entitled to a functioning city. The again necessary blocking shows that the district is structurally underfunded and the allocations of the country are not sufficient. The ability to act is at stake." Your words have weight because you reveal the grievances without wague and repeat a call for more financial support!

prepare for Berlin! This is the struggle for finances in the middle of the urban jungle. Another chapter in the history of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, which could meet every-from the little café around the corner to the big school. The financial survival is on the brink!
