Illegal use of caravans and containers in Berlin -Karlshorst - District office asks residents to act

A large number of caravans and containers were used for residential purposes on the properties Hönower Wiesenweg 24 and 25 in Berlin-Karlshorst without official permits. This illegal use, which is rented by the property owner via other companies, is not a approved safeplace. The residents are responsible for their electricity and water supply as well as the hygienic conditions. The Lichtenberg district office is now asking the residents to look for a different accommodation or to go into offers from the district office.

The illegal use of the land on Hönower Wiesenweg 24 and 25 has a negative impact on the local community. The residents can suffer from the illegal living conditions, since the hygienic conditions are often inadequate and there can be problems with electricity and water supply. The illegal residents have no access to regular public services and there is a risk of homelessness, especially in colder temperatures. This situation not only burdens the persons concerned, but also has an impact on the security and hygiene level in the surrounding area.
