In their podcast, Bill and Tom Kaulitz talked about buying a prison in Celle.

Now the mayor has made them an offer.

Celle – Will the Kaulitz brothers soon buy a prison in Lower Saxony or is it all just for fun?

With the words "regardless of whether it's a fetish club, a disco or just living", the mayor of Celle, Jörg Nigge (CDU), advertised to the band Tokio Hotel for the purchase of a former prison site in Lower Saxony.

How serious the CDU politician is with his offer remains questionable.

After all, he is said to have invited the musicians to Celle "with a wink" to talk about ideas, as the city announced in a statement.

The CDU politician is "always up for a joke," it says.

Bill and Kaulitz: The brothers from Tokio Hotel buy a prison in Lower Saxony – the mayor doesn't have a fetish outfit yet

He had previously sent the brothers a voice message: "Moin, Kaulitz family.

Two of our 1,200 employees hear you regularly and tell us about your Celle dreams.

To make it short: First.

We have airport.

Secondly.

Celle is of course a destination and Hanover is close to Celle and not the other way around.”

And further: "Third.

People from all over the world are already coming to us.

And fourth.

Restrictions are manageable.

To put it in your own words: awesome.

A prison in Celle could soon be yours - regardless of whether it's a fetish club, disco or just living.

Get in touch, although I don't have an outfit for the former yet.

We can imagine a lot and together we can convince politicians of this.

Your Lord Mayor from Celle."

Will the Kaulitz brothers soon buy a prison in Celle?

"I'm really interested in it"

"I'm really interested in it," said Bill Kaulitz in the joint podcast "Kaulitz Hills – Mustard from Hollywood".

The brothers' team should now contact the city "to really discuss whether something like that is possible," said the "Tokio Hotel" singer in the current episode "With the Mammut towards Sunset".

It's about the prison (JVA) Salinenmoor.

The former prison site of the JVA Salinenmoor from 1978 is for sale, it has a total area of ​​almost twelve hectares.

In the empty prison, the 32-year-old could imagine a nightclub, a restaurant and a hotel - "preferably everything together".

His twin brother Tom is more skeptical, saying he is "not quite convinced yet" of buying the prison.
