Forced evacuation in Bad Mergentheim: residents have to move out by Tuesday!
In Bad Mergentheim there is a dramatic event: A apartment block in Löffelstelzer Strasse has to be cleared on Wednesday! The residents have time to leave their apartments until Tuesday evening. Anyone who is still in the building on Wednesday morning is faced with the brutal reality of a forced eviction - and the police are ready to go through!
The reason for these drastic measures? The fire protection! The city has asked the 87 households to look for new accommodation as soon as possible, as the owners failed to ensure the necessary fire protection. This decision was not made lightly because the city fears that it would be complicit should be a fire. So far it is unclear how many residents have already moved out, and on social media, the proportionality of this eviction is being discussed. Is it justified to drive people out of their apartments just because fire protection is not guaranteed? This question concerns many.
Legal gray zones and risks
specialist lawyer Till Fischer from Heidelberg explains that there are very legal foundations for the city to close a building due to poor fire protection. If the fire brigade or experts find a "concrete danger", it must be removed immediately. But what exactly is considered a "concrete danger" is often controversial - authorities and courts do not always agree. Even if a usage subsequent is carried out, this is rarely lifted in court. Often the authorities and owners agree to find a solution.
