Berlin-Friedrichshain : Has subsidized the district, the Café Sibylle?

The Café Sibylle saved? "Because," says Uwe Radack, the former operator of the cult cafe in Karl-Marx-Allee 72 in Friedrichshain. "Café Sibylle is maybe still there, inside of it, but there's nothing left," he complains. Radack would have liked to have made more. But the main tenant of the café, the club BUF (Berufsförderungswerk clothing Berlin), notified in the spring of insolvency, the contract with the tenant, Radack and his partners ran out.

The district office of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, swung to the rescue of the 1953 to as the "milk hall" opened, and by the end of March of this year, closed Cafés. In one of the borough Assembly adopted a resolution it was said that the district office the current operator*the inside of the café was to support "the premises directly from the owner of the property to rent". However, because the rent was increased for the property to 180 per cent, could not be more Radack afford them, according to their own information.

The new operator, the non-profit training and Employment "puk a malta" from the Wedding, receives from the district now pay a fee of 2000 Euro. The funds come from a pot for housing and citizen participation. "I had been looking forward to over 1000 euros," says Radack. He had the conversation with the district office sought, however, the Deputy district mayor Knut Mildner-Spindler (Left) had contacted him very shortly before the end of the contract and no support signals. "Now I have to take note that there is a monthly allowance of 2000 euros", said Radack. He had simply called for support for the area, which is the exhibition on the history of the Karl-Marx-Allee in the Café occupies.

Former operator complains that the district office "subsidization" of the new carrier

"The 2000 euros out of thin air and are not covered by any costs determination," complains Michael Heihsel of the group of the FDP in the district. In addition, puk a malta is funded through a ten-FAV-Put from the Jobcenter. "FIP" stands for "promotion of employment". This means that employers receive from the state a grant of up to 75 percent for the pay of their employees. For the ten Digits from the second labour market are likely to come in the year of 120,000 euros. The eight employees from the labour market, employed Radack before, have lost their Job. For Heihsel the Whole thing is a clear case of subsidisation. He has taken access to the file and sees itself confirmed: "From the documents, it is clear that the Coffee should be subsidised," he says.
