Decision of the OVG Berlin: District City Councilor Hönicke returns

The district office Lichtenberg noted the decision of the Higher Administrative Court on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. After internal documents were forwarded to the "Tagesspiegel", compelling official reasons for the exemption were no longer considered given. District City Councilor Kevin Hönicke therefore resumed his service on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.

The Berlin Higher Administrative Court emphasized that this urgent procedure did not make a decision on the allegation of the secret of the secret. The presumption of innocence continues to apply. The disciplinary procedure continues and the investigations by the public prosecutor and further criminal proceedings continue to run.

District Mayor Martin Schaefer emphasized that the Lichtenberg district office will work to protect employees and for the concerns of the population. A special meeting of the district office took place in the town hall to determine the basics of further cooperation.

In view of these developments, it is important that the district office can work smoothly in order to cope with the concerns of the citizens. The return of district councilor Kevin Hönicke means a normalization of service transactions and enables smooth cooperation in the Lichtenberg district office.

A detailed analysis of the effects of the Higher Administrative Court decision on local processes and public perception in the district would be important in order to better understand the long -term consequences of this decision. The involvement of historical information about similar cases of secretary treason could help classify the current situation better.
