Auction of Köpi by order of the court
Since the 8th of February 2007 it has been planned that K?pi and the
trailer park next to it are to be auctioned off to the highest bidder
on Tuesday the 8th of May this year. Yesterday (23.04.07) we at K?pi
only found this out by accident. While we were celebrating the 17th
birthday of K?pi, investors and speculators already knew that the K?pi
and the plot next to it where the trailer park is located are again
coming up for sale. The bid for the K?pi is starting at 1.670.000
Euro. The trailer park ground is to be split into 3 parts and sold
for a total of 1.815.000.
This is the third attempt at trying to sell the K?pi by auction. The
two previous attempts failed. Responsible for the auction is the
Commerzbank. They made the application for an auction by order of the
court to District Court Tiergarten.
The Tax Office Mitte is responsible for the adjoining land where the
trailer park is situated. The time and dates for auctioning the house
and the adjoining pieces of land were intentionally made for the same
day.
Profiteers of Business
At the same time, Ute Peters from the company Franell Consulting GmbH,
which is located at Bayerischer Platz 2 in 10779 Berlin, is offering
the K?pi for sale. This comes on the company's own initiative and
their pure greed for profit. The appraisal of the K?pi can be seen
personally but is, for "safety reasons", not published. Nevertheless
Mrs. Peters got information about the appraisal, which she must have
obtained illegally.
Keeping the information about the auction secret was planned from the
start by the District Court. Those responsible feared, not without
grounds, that the auction would not go off smoothly if the date was
known to the occupants.
The ominous appraisal was this time written by an engineer by the name
of Erwin B. Stenkewitz. He has falsely written in the appraisal that
the house is squatted when there are contracts. Also, the illusory
value of 1.670.000 Euro was made up by him. If you have questions,
you can visit him at Dahemstr. 25, 12527 Berlin.
Losers of Business
The Berlin cops are shitting themselves thinking of the recent events
in Copenhagen. In some newspaper reports it is also mentioned that
they see it as fatal that the auction's date is so near to the 1st of
May - even though it should be well-known to them that it doesn't
matter when the K?pi and the neighbouring plot are going to be
auctioned. The feared "high mobilisation potential" and the expected
material damage in case of the auction can be expected at any time.
Eternal Winners
The K?pi stands for a non-hierarchical and non-commercial connection
between culture and politics. For 17 years, many large events have
taken place in K?pi and through its unique character, the house has
become internationally well-known.
Activists and visitors to the K?pi are not only from Berlin and other
towns in Germany but also from many countries around Europe and the
rest of the world.
We are not willing to let them take our free spaces and are going to
fight them with all means at our disposal to keep them.
Enough is Enough!
The number of incidents over the last couple of months, such as the
building of the nursing home right next to K?pi, the raid on some
public rooms on the premises, the spying on K?pi from the Verdi
building across the road, has now reached a critical stage with the
planned auction on the 8th of May.
Potential customers, speculators and investors should be warned:
buying the house could be more expensive than calculated because K?pi
remains a capital risk!
That's why we call for:
Demo: Saturday, 05.05.2007, 15:00, Breitscheidplatz (S-/U-Bhf
Zoologischer Garten)
Rally: Tuesday, 08.05.2007, 7:00, Amtsgericht (District Court)
Berlin-Mitte, Littenstr. 12-17. (S-/U-Bhf Jannowitzbr?cke).
Dont forget that K?pi will be part of the "Free Spaces" bloc on the
18:00 demo from Lausitzer Platz on May 1st.
All our friends from around the world are invited to come to Berlin
and join these demonstrations or make solidarity actions in their own
areas!
They've sold the whole city - K?pi stay ours!
K?pi is, and stays, risk capital!!!
Further information to follow.
Look out for announcements.
