Luxury on Sylt: Lanserhof before partial sale – Kerner benefits!
In recent weeks there have been exciting developments surrounding the Lanserhof Group, which is about to sell part of its properties. How moin.de reports, the step towards a partial sale is of great importance for the company's finances. Led by Christian Harisch, who was also honored as Restaurateur of the Year 2024, the group plans to sell shares to a financial investor. The focus is primarily on the Lanserhof properties, including the luxurious complex on Sylt.
High energy costs and rising interest rates have already left their mark on finances. A partial sale could create much-needed financial leeway. While Harisch does not comment on discussions with potential investors, there is already speculation that Johannes B. Kerner, who once invested millions in the Sylt project, could benefit from the transaction. Kerner sold his shares after the topping-out ceremony in 2020 and now expects a repayment of between eight and ten million euros, which could be accelerated by the partial sale Bild.de.
The role of Johannes B. Kerner
Johannes B. Kerner has certain claims on the Lanserhof Group through his investor agreement. He was actually supposed to wait until mid-2026 for his repayment, but intensive negotiations about the repayment have been going on for weeks. Rumors suggest that the repayment process may also include real estate to avoid disputes and satisfy Kerner. Resolving the conflict could resolve the debt issue and at the same time speed up the investor deal process.
For the Lanserhof Group itself, the Sylt location remains important for the company's overall strategy. Harisch and his team are not only working on the partial sale, but are also planning a cooperation with the Spanish investor Altamar Cam to open a new health center in Marbella. This expansion shows that, despite the current challenges, the group is also exploring new ways to maintain its position in the market.
