Because the members of the community of heirs did not agree, the compulsory auction was held at the Weilheim District Court.

Another appointment follows.

Weilheim – The house that brought them all here has probably been there for 500 years.

Of course, it has been modernized many times, most recently in 2012. The orange facade currently nestles inconspicuously against the row of houses on Ledererstrasse.

If you don't pay attention to the little house with ten windows, you won't see it on your way into the city.

Foreclosure of old town house: After three quarters of an hour the procedure is stopped

According to the newspaper advertisement, the home has 291.37 square meters of living space.

Probably nobody would take a closer look at this house if it wasn't up for auction for everyone.

Very publicly, on a Wednesday at 8.30 a.m. in Peißenberg, deep tunnel hall.

The Weilheim district court, more precisely the department for foreclosure matters, conducts the hearing.

Nothing will be auctioned this morning.

After exactly 46 minutes, Ms. Willberger stopped the process.

At the request of the man who initiated the public auction.

Ms. Willberger does not want to give her first name.

In fact, it has happened that an extremely upset man has visited her at home.

She doesn't want to experience things like that a second time.

In her mid-50s, she is one of the "fossils in court," she says.

Ms. Willburger is a friendly woman who likes to smile at her conversation partners.

It probably takes a certain laxity in such serious matters.

Because most of the time, when people come to Ms. Willberger, it's about quarreling communities of heirs, about separated couples, about failed existences.

Well, there are a few more exotic types of procedures like ship and aircraft foreclosures.

But they are so rare that they are not even explained in detail on the "Reguvis" information portal.

Foreclosure of Altstadthaus: Only five guests present

Punctually at 8.30 a.m. the magistrate opens this auction.

In front of her are a woman and a man who share the same surname and form a community of heirs.

They won't make eye contact for the next 46 minutes.

Their lawyers have settled between them, a human barrier.

You never know what will happen.

The woman, blond hair, middle-aged, wearing a shirt with lots of color, leaning back.

The man, gray hair, a full beard, about the same age, folds his hands on the table.

He has applied for the procedure and can therefore discontinue it at any time.

"The goal is the abolition of community," says Ms. Willberger into her microphone.

The speakers amplify your words throughout the room.

Nobody sits in the first four rows of chairs.

Five guests are spread out in the large hall of the underground hall.

You wear a mask, which is mandatory here up to the seat.

A young man with glasses crosses his legs.

Behind, a father is busy with his small child.

In addition, the mother occasionally uses her smartphone.

In the last row, a woman is leaning on her legs, not far from the security guard, a police officer who has previously screened everyone at the entrance.

"Normally," says Ms. Willberger, "demand is very high."

Public auction of old town house: The property has an estimated market value of one million euros

Since real estate prices have reached dizzying heights, interest in the auctions has also increased.

Sometimes a long queue forms in front of Willberger's table.

Anyone who wants to bid must first register with a document.

After that, just raise your hand.

These are exciting moments, as you know them from auction houses, except that nobody screams with all sorts of pathos in their voice: “First, second and third.

Sold.” At one appointment, Ms. Willberger counted over 100 bids.

They have all been noted.

This is her record.

After 25 minutes, she opens the bidding session, which only lasts half an hour.

The procedure was reformed in 2007.

When you were still allowed to bid for an hour, the negotiation times "dragged forever," says the magistrate.

It always takes a few minutes before the first one dares to go forward.

Interested parties can view documents.

An appraiser assessed the market value of the Weilheim property at 980,000 euros.

The auction must sell at least half - otherwise the magistrate refuses the bid and sets another date for which no value limits apply.

Foreclosure of Altstadthaus: There will be a new date

At 9:10 a.m., the woman from the community of heirs who lives in the house puts on the mask and speaks the first bid: 350,000 euros, 7,000 euros more than the lowest bid that the court had previously set.

If you buy a property, you also have to take over the mortgages and land charges that are entered in the land register.

In the case of Ledererstrasse, that's several hundred thousand euros at two banks.

After ten minutes, the lawyers for the two leave the room and speak in front of the door.

You can't hear what they say.

When they are seated again, the appointment is over.

The client who made the application applies for the temporary suspension, that's what the German court says.

"I'm putting the process on hold," says Ms. Willberger.

Nothing unusual, explains the magistrate later in the conversation.

Especially if the asking price is not reached.

The man now has six months to continue the process.

Until then, Ms. Willberger will still be advertising a few properties.

The district court covers three districts – Weilheim-Schongau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Starnberg.

There are a few houses there.

She auctioned the most expensive one years ago for five million euros.

Compared to today, that should be a bargain.

At 9.19 the lawyers shake hands.

Even if their clients don't look at each other, they will see each other again.

The history of this ancient house is not yet finished.
