Tempelhof-tenant is threatening bankruptcy

The lease agreement between the State of Berlin and the fashion show "Bread & Butter" for the Tempelhof Airport is threatening to carry the existing tenants of the hangars from the existential. "If we at the site Tempelhof no longer continue to exist, would ruin a solid company, which generated € 1.47 million tax dollars and hang on the job in 1020 in Berlin, said yesterday the manager of the Event Center Tempelhof (ECT) Airport GmbH, Andreas Grunszky

to. end of the year end is probably the contract with the ECT - should not there be more of an understanding with the Berlin real estate management company (BIM) on its continuation Grunszky but made it clear that the offer was a use of only ten months "not sustainable". . He had his group has twelve months, therefore he needed the entire time of the year the hangar. Reportedly, the fashion fair, the hangar at Tempelhof Airport for ten year rent, but are used for only two months a year. make

To the economic benefit of its commitment at the site clearly was Grunszky a study of management consulting ghh consult in order. Then the 63 events of the ECT in the year 2007 - trade shows, parties, conventions, filming - some 73 000 people brought to Tempelhof. Their stay in the city, they generated total revenue of 48.9 million euros in hotels, transportation and retail.

In the coming years could increase sales significantly, if the ECT, as planned, operate in addition to their hangar 2 also the adjacent Hangar 1 would. Then we could coordinate events and film work even better. The cooperation with the Allied Museum has already been agreed.

Grunszky This idea had back in 2003. The financing was, the outline planning permission for conversion was there, but Berlin was due to the unclear prospects of the airport not long-term lease. With the concept he had, so Grunszky, also advertised the Call for Ideas, noted, all contact from the urban development management and BIM. "But after the closure of the airport had no substantive discussions," said managing director of ECT.

Hangar taken over in 1999

The company feels deceived, although not as openly pronounce. Grunszky holds the Governing Mayor Klaus Wowereit (SPD) for the real decision makers - even though he had been always taught that the Berlin Real Estate Management (BIM) lead the business. "But the BIM is just one executive." He also had the impression "that it is not the medium will bind with me." Grunszky offers investment of seven to eight million euros.

In expanding and heating for the Hangar 2, which he took over in 1999, he once invested 1.2 million euros. Therefore, he considers the information of the Senate on the lease with "Bread & Butter" was unlikely. In addition, there had been in the past many discussions with the State Monuments Office of conversions. Now, however, nothing was known about it. According to the SPD-circles to the fashion fair pay annually about 1.6 million € rent. The rental income are offset by investments from the public sector. Thus, apparently the Land Berlin committed to spend five million euros for the rehabilitation or new construction of heating, electrical and ventilation systems. In addition to hangars are built. According Grunszkys cost but only the heating 600000-700000 €.
