They are practically locked up in their house in Cologne (D). Perwin S.* and Latif B.* are not allowed to enter the street in front of their home, otherwise they risk a fine of 250,000 euros or even a prison sentence for disturbing property and property. “I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown,” Perwin S. told the “Kölner Stadtanzeiger”.
The problem: your house is on Stüttgerhofweg. A private street owned by a real estate and management company whose owners also live there. In fact, the path should have been handed over to the community when the first houses were built there. But that was simply not done at the time. With bad consequences.
“Actually completely nonsensical”
The owners of the road demanded 50 euros in travel money from the couple. But they refused to pay. No wonder: only they have to pay. All other homeowners may use the path for free. So we went to court. However, the court agreed with the path owners.
The court also recognized that the couple was treated unfairly. The court said in its ruling that it was “actually completely nonsensical that the suspects would no longer be allowed to enter their building via the street, but via adjacent buildings.”
The couple should have claimed emergency right of passage
Nevertheless, the couple would have had a chance to put an end to the strange situation. You would then have had to request emergency priority from the real estate and management company. According to the court, the problem would have been legally resolved. However, that was not an option for the couple. Your lawyer told the “Kölner Stadtanzeiger”: “As a result, we would have given up our legal position and my clients would have been obliged to pay an emergency pension.”
However, for the city of Cologne it is clear that the company is obliged to transfer the rights to the path. The owners have until the end of January to respond to this plan. So far they haven’t done that. The fact is: Perwin S. and Latif B. commit a crime every time they leave the house and risk ending up in jail. (ymh)
