Robert Klages writes from LICHTENBERG:

  • More than 1000 musicians: the rehearsal room center “Rockhaus” houses 180 rehearsal rooms on 3800 square meters. But more and more bands and music teachers are moving out. They currently have to pay 15 euros rent per square meter. And it’s getting more and more expensive: The Berlin Senate agreed a graduated rent with the owner in the summer of 2019. The rent in the Rockhaus increases annually by 1.20 euros per square meter. At that time, Senator for Culture Klaus Lederer (left) had himself celebrated for “saving” the rehearsal area. Because the owner, the Scharfstein Group, wanted to throw out all tenants and turn the Rockhaus into an office building. How to proceed now, who is involved and what problems there are, is in the newsletter, further topics this time including:
