The city of Bad Bramstedt is demanding 500,000 euros in damages from its former mayor Verena Jeske. The reason is the failure of the Kita Wirbelwind kindergarten construction project. The question is whether she signed a builder contract with gross negligence.
The city of Bad Bramstedt in Schleswig-Holstein has filed a lawsuit against its former mayor Verena Jeske. It is demanding 500,000 euros in damages following the debacle in building the Kita Wirbelwind kindergarten. The project failed, and now it is being examined whether Jeske signed a builder contract with gross negligence.
According to reports, Jeske signed the contract, which led to significant financial losses for the city. The Kita Wirbelwind was intended to be a new kindergarten project but went bankrupt. The city argues that gross negligence is present, which could enable the recovery of the damage.
Whether the demand will succeed is uncertain. Courts must review whether the allegations hold up. Jeske has not commented publicly so far. This case sheds light on the responsibility of officials in major projects.
