Kiel cult disco Tucholsky”: compulsory auction postponed for a week!
The cult discotheque “Tucholsky” in Kiel, which has been a popular meeting place for students since it opened in 1970, is currently the focus of attention as part of a foreclosure auction. The first auction date was planned for Thursday, but this has now been postponed by a week to October 30, 2025. A maximum bid has already been submitted, but an objection from the creditors' managing director is causing uncertainty, reports NDR.
The objection is based on the claim that the current highest bidder is a front man for the current owner, who is allegedly unable to make the required payments. This raises questions about the seriousness of the offer and it is believed that these objections are intended to torpedo the auction. The legal officer is now required to review the creditor's objections. He has a week to reinforce his position, which could further complicate the auction Kiel News informed.
Continuation of operations
Despite the tense situation regarding the compulsory auction, operations at “Tucholsky” remain unchanged for the time being. The team is continuing its usual events, although they report a decline in visitor numbers and other problems. The disco, which reopened in May 2024 after the corona pandemic, is still very popular among students in the city.
The situation surrounding “Tucholsky” not only raises legal questions, but also speaks to the heart of Kiel’s cultural scene. It remains to be seen how things will develop and whether a new operator can take over the legendary discotheque or whether special solutions can be found to prevent the impending loss of this institution.
