Peter Borbe wrote that the leather goods store Hetzenecker at Munich's Stachus must close after decades of operation. The monthly rent for 160 square meters of retail space is 23,000 euros and is not sustainable for the business. Borbe named the Free State of Bavaria as the landlord. Owner Hans Döbert runs three other stores, whose private landlords, according to Borbe, are willing to negotiate. In contrast, the Free State wants to demand full rent even during the clearing period. https://t.co/KQbOhbwh0f #Bayern #München #Miete (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the porcelain manufacturer Kahla would cease production after 182 years, and 98 employees would lose their jobs. The company, founded in 1844, filed for insolvency again in February 2026; talks with two Turkish investors had been unsuccessful. According to Boeminghaus, production should continue until the end of October, decoration until the end of 2026, and sales are expected to continue until March. Insolvency administrator Rolf Rombach cited particularly high energy costs as reasons for the closure. In addition, a weaker order situation and fewer orders from the gastronomy sector had burdened the company.

He cited BILD as the source. https://t.co/uK5lKkBzOV #Kahla #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze (translated)
