Ein Kiez kämpft um seinen Späti: Miete verdoppelt Von Hildburg Bruns Eine Demonstration findet in einem Kreuzberger Kiez statt, um den Erhalt eines beliebten Spätis zu fordern. Der Vermieter möchte die Miete verdoppeln, was für die Betreiber des kleinen Ladens mit 50 Quadratmetern Fläche unbezahlbar wäre. Auf den Stirn- und Brustbereichen der Demonstranten ist „Quicky-Markt – wir bleiben“ zu lesen. Der Quicky-Markt ist für die Nachbarschaft in der Skalitzer Straße eine Oase.

Rent for Späti doubles: Kiez is fighting for receiving a popular oasis in Kreuzberg

A neighborhood fights for his spati: rent doubles

by Hildburg Bruns

A demonstration takes place in a Kreuzberg neighborhood to request the preservation of a popular spati. The landlord would like to double the rent, which would be priceless for the operators of the small shop with 50 square meters. On the forehead and breast areas of the demonstrators, “Quicky-Markt- We Stay” can be read.

The Quicky market is an oasis for the neighborhood on Skalitzer Strasse. In summer he supplies them with cool drinks, while in winter they can sit comfortably at candlelight. The Späti also offers tobacco, snacks and the acceptance of packages.

After the house was sold, the operators received the termination in October in March. But they are not willing to go. Instead, the landlord presented a new offer: the rent is to increase from 17 to 43 euros per square meter, and a new deposit of 8000 euros is due. This amount appears inappropriate because a maximum of 30 euros per square meter are usually required in the area.

The regular customers are worried about the situation. Jason Hölzel (57), who regularly meets with friends for an after -work beer in the Späti and knows the father of the current owner, emphasizes: "This is not possible." Cook Nicole Hänsler (53) also feared that she would be missing.

signature lists were interpreted and on social media it is protested against the displacement of the store. Despite a request from the B.Z. the landlord has not yet reacted.
