The meeting of the opponents from the house of the Guelphs has to wait - the court date has been canceled.
Ernst August Prince of Hanover wants to reverse the donation of the Marienburg to his son - because of "gross ingratitude".
This year it doesn't go any further.
Hanover - Postponement of the legal dispute between the Guelph Princes over Marienburg Castle: The hearing at the Hanover Regional Court, to which Ernst August Prince of Hanover and his son should appear in person on Thursday, has been canceled. The Hanover regional court announced on Tuesday that the date had been postponed to March 24, 2022. The head of the Guelphs, the husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, had accused his son of “gross ingratitude” - and demanded that the Marienburg be returned. Ernst August Hereditary Prince of Hanover countered that the father's complaint was "insubstantial".
The reason for the cancellation of the appointment was that the previous legal representative of the two plaintiffs had resigned from the mandate at short notice, the regional court announced.
The two plaintiffs are therefore the 67-year-old Welfenprinz Ernst August senior and a company from Salzburg, an EAH BetreibungsgmbH.
A new legal representative had legitimized himself for this company and applied for the appointment to be rescheduled.
The civil chamber complied with the request.
According to the court, an appointment can be canceled or rescheduled for "significant reasons" and a hearing adjourned.
Resignation from the mandate could be such a significant reason.
The lawsuit has been pending since the end of 2020.
According to the Hanover Regional Court, Ernst August senior is demanding not only the return of the Marienburg but also the Calenberg property in the Pattensen-Schulenburg community and the Herrenhausen Princely House in Hanover.
He bases his claim, among other things, on the revocation of a donation as a result of “gross ingratitude”, unjustified enrichment and the loss of the basis of the business.
He had given the property to his son in 2004 and 2007 in anticipated succession.

Tiny House: Selling a mobile home remains tax-free
Ernst August Hereditary Prince of Hanover said: “All arguments in the lawsuit have already been invalidated out of court in the past. Against this background, I look forward to the judicial dispute calmly. ”Apart from that, he does not want to comment on the procedure and the individual procedural steps“ with consideration for my family ”.
The Hereditary Prince also emphasized: "There is no reason to worry about the future of Marienburg Castle." The foundation solution found with the State of Lower Saxony was concluded in a legally secure manner.
"Nothing stands in the way of the long-term preservation of Marienburg as the central cultural monument of Lower Saxony, which remains publicly accessible to everyone," he said.
In 2019 the family hit the headlines because the 38-year-old wanted to sell the ailing castle to the public sector for one euro - against his father's wishes.
