The fronts between the city and tenant Paul Puppe are hardened as far as the future of the bistro at Bahnhof See is concerned. Deputy Mayor Angelika Kammerl announces an eviction lawsuit. Puppe, in turn, has filed a complaint against Kammerl because he feels denigrated by her statements.

Starnberg – The city of Starnberg is filing an action for eviction against the tenant of the Bistro am Bahnhof See, Paul Puppe. This was stated by Deputy Mayor Angelika Kammerl on Friday at the request of the Starnberger Merkur. As a result, the dispute over the future of the bistro has reached a new level of escalation.

As reported, the city wants to redesign the area right next to the stairs to the station underpass – instead of the bistro, the planting of around half a dozen trees is planned. It is supposed to be the first visible sign that something will change after the agreement between the city and Deutsche Bahn in terms of sea connections. "We want to clean up a bit at the station," says Kammerl, also mentioning the planned redesign of the loggia of the historic station building according to plans by Starnberg architects Marco Goetz and Walter Waldrauch.

The space for the bistro was leased from the city by the former and long-time station bookseller Paul Puppe about twenty years ago. As the owner, he rented the bistro on it to a restaurateur. The contract with Puppe was terminated in due time on September 30, 2022, says Kammerl, reflecting the city's position. The Main and Finance Committee had already decided on 25 April 2022 that the termination of the lease would be maintained. That is what the Minutes of this sitting say. In the meantime, Puppe wants information that the committee was only informed by Kammerl at the time. He hopes that Mayor Patrick Janik will shed light on this.

City of Starnberg wants visual change at See station

At the request of the restaurateur, the deadline has been extended to May 31, 2023, Kammerl continues. Because Puppe does not accept this termination, the municipal property administration is now instructed to file an eviction lawsuit with the involvement of a lawyer. She can understand that Puppe is not happy about the termination, she says. But the city wants to achieve a visual change in the area of the station.

"I still see the evacuation and demolition of the building only in connection with the direct connection to the lake," he says. And their realization is still completely open due to the financing that has not yet been clarified. "If this is clarified by the end of the year, I will of course close the bistro," emphasizes the now 81-year-old. At this point in time, however, wanting to go through with a dismissal is "actionism and an anti-social arbitrary measure". In addition, the family of the restaurateur is deprived of its existence.

Bistro owner feels defamed by deputy mayor

What strikes Puppe, beyond all legal work, is the way the city treats him as a person. At the time, he invested around one million marks in the station building and the bookstore – a development from which the city still benefits today through lease payments, he says. He is also positive about the lake connection. Nevertheless, Angelika Kammerl had publicly expressed herself "partly untrue, insulting and defamatory" about him. This is what Puppe writes in a complaint about the deputy mayor, which he sent to Patrick Janik on May 25 of this year. The fact that Kammerl describes the bistro as a "shack" is "defamatory for me as the owner and the operator, who is a tenant of mine". The fact that the building yard is carrying out the demolition, "I perceive as a massive threat". And the fact that he did not inform his tenant about the termination was untrue. In total, Puppe's writing includes eight points of criticism. It ends with: "I will not accept Mayor Kammerl's goal of defaming me in public for the purpose of enforcing the measure that is unnecessary at the moment."
