Change of tenant in the sörkel: a farewell to heart and challenges

In the popular Café Sörkel on Boulevard Ostbahnstrasse in Landau, there is a change of tenant change. Barbara Dees, who hosts the guests by Sunday, is saying goodbye with a heavy heart. A new operator is already in sight, but the contacts for the new tenant were unavailable on Friday. The pavilion, which was opened eleven years ago and reminded of the renal tables of the 1950s, was well received by the rural farms. The name "Sörkel" is inspired by the English "Circle", and the café was designed as a meeting place between park and downtown.

Barbara Dees, who has been running the café for over five years, has built up a loyal regular audience. She was the second tenant after Sabine Gretoire and plans to increase her part -time job at the Süw district administration in the spring and to look for a new challenge. Dees expresses respect for the self-employed in the catering trade and sees the challenges such as corona pandemic, the energy crisis and inflation as significant, since customers spend less money on gastronomy. The expiring lease was not extended by her, which she striked.

The effects of corona pandemic on the catering trade can also be clearly seen in other cases. rsw.beck.de Sushi restaurant in Frankfurt operation, while the official restrictions had to close temporarily. She demanded that she were not obliged to pay for full rent during this time. However, the district court dismissed the lawsuit, and in the appeal hearing, the Higher Regional Court (OLG) decided that the tenants bear the risk of use.

In a further case, a lessor who demanded lease payments was confronted with the claim that the tenant had terminated her contract without notice due to official prohibitions. The OLG found that the tenant's extraordinary termination was not justified and that she is still subject to payment. These decisions make it clear that the pandeme -related restrictions primarily affect the tenant's risk of use, not the lessor's obligation to use the lessor.

The Café Sörkel will be open on Sunday until 2 p.m.
