Neighbourhood remains a neighbourhood – VG Berlin protects established restaurant district!
In its decision of 8 July 2025, the Berlin Administrative Court granted the main points of the urgent appeal filed by a restaurateur from Kastanienallee in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. The court restored the suspensive effect of the action against the shortening of the closing time and the ban on the provision of outdoor seating. The restaurateur thus preliminarily prevailed against an order by the Pankow district authority that would have severely restricted his business activities in the outdoor area.
