Immersonal scandal in Berlin: Desolate situation in the Pankower allotment garden association unveiled

according to a report by www.berliner-kurier.de caused a sensation for embezzlement by the board of the district association of the Pankower garden lovers. The insolvency administrator reveals that excessive personnel costs that were paid to relatives and acquaintances have brought the association into a desolate situation. A deficit of 600,000 euros was created in the financial years 2020 and 2021, and important documents such as lease contracts have disappeared. This applies to around 5,000 allotment gardeners in Pankow, and the association tax was increased from 70 to 130 euros to avoid financial bottlenecks. The extent of the scandal is enormous, since even a further purchase contract for 2 million euros has been concluded for some of the system on Anger, although the cash registers are empty.

As a citizen of Berlin, I am horrified by the scandalous revelations in connection with the Pankower district association of garden friends. It is unfortunate to see how mismanagement and embezzlement endanger the livelihood of thousands of allotment gardeners and risk the future of popular green areas in our city. It is important that those responsible are held accountable and that measures are taken to restore the confidence of the allotment gardeners and to ensure the financial stability of the association. The scandal throws a bad light on the allotment garden in Berlin and illustrates the need for stricter controls and transparency in non -profit organizations.
