But now they have announced that the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district and site\u2019s owner, the Kurth Group, have agreed on a lease for two more years. That means beloved institutes including Der Kegel, Skatehalle Berlin, Sommergarten and Club Cassiopeia \u2013 the \u2018socio-cultural L\u2019 \u2013 are, for now, safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This short-term security comes at a cost. The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district will pay the Kurth Group one million euros in annual rent to keep RAW-Gel\u00e4nde open. There is a stipulated option for an additional third year.\u00a0 If this happens, the Senate Administration for Urban Development will cover the cost. Around 40% of these rental costs are to be spent on the maintenance of the buildings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During these two or three years, a zoning plan will be finalised by the Kurth Group, since the RAW site encompasses more than its area on Warschauer Stra\u00dfe. The Kurth Group then plans to build apartments and offices, which are intended to coexist alongside the cultural facilities. The conclusion could then be that, alongside the newbuilds, the existing cultural sites will continue to exist for another 30 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However this outcome is not yet guaranteed. Alexander Slotty, State Secretary for Construction, explained, \u201cWith the agreement on a rental and framework contract, not only the intercultural uses, clubs and bars are secured for the time being, but also the development of urgently needed housing on a previously unused part of the area is agreed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It looked like a dire outcome for the future of RAW-Gel\u00e4nde.
