Hesse has to pay 11 million euros for renovation in Fulda itself!

There are turbulent times in Fulda for the state of Hesse, which now has to invest around 11 million euros in the renovation of the former tax office building. The reason? A ruling by the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court that left the country out in the cold in a lawsuit against the private landlord Patrizia Immobilien Kapitalverehrungsgesellschaft mbH. Hesse had hoped to reclaim the costs of the interior renovation, which included plastering work on walls and ceilings, from the landlord, but the court saw things differently. Surprisingly, the landlord's obligations were only limited to the roof, compartments and supporting structure, leaving responsibility for the interior renovation to the state of Hesse Fuldaer Zeitung.

The renovations in the Fulda government center are not only expensive, but also time-consuming. Considering that the renovation is expected to last until 2028, the question of rental agreements arises: During the repair period, the state will now pay double rent. This not only affects the authority center, but also other properties, such as an empty social ministry that had to be demolished in 2021 because it was dilapidated. Here the additional costs add up to a further five million euros, which the state has to cover in addition to the renovation costs Hessenschau.

Political consequences and public criticism

The situation has also brought the police union (GdP) into action. This describes the LEO real estate project as a “disaster”.

Personal responsibility is required here and it is advisable to have discussions with the landlord before renovation work ZDF.

The verdict and the subsequent developments raise many questions: How will the situation develop in the coming years? And is Hesse really on the way to escaping this financial misery? The coming months will show, but for now the state government remains required to shed light on the darkness of real estate transactions.
