In one of the most famous district of Berlin, in Kreuzberg, includes an Aldi store. The residents of the tastes, therefore, they go on the road and protest.
Berlin – it’s A thinking scene worthy of the end of March in Berlin: people with homemade signs chanting chanting on the streets of Kreuzberg. However, they are not protesting against the shortage of housing in the Federal capital, or against too high a Rent. In their Protest, it was, rather, a branch of the discount giant, Aldi, as time reported.
And it will be even better. The protesters, mainly residents from the neighbourhood, are not against the opening of a further branch, in addition to the existing 4,000-Germany-wide. No, they want you to Aldi remains in the market hall Nine.
Aldi Kreuzberg citizens are on Aldi
protesters demonstrate for a Multi-million-Euro group, instructed you do not often see. However, many of the residents of the once poorest district of Berlin, with the closure of the Aldi store is also their livelihood in danger. Because, as the weekly newspaper, write more, live more than a quarter of the residents of state aid. That is, they are dependent on the cheap offers of the Discounters.

For the operators of the market hall Nine, Bernd Maier and Florian Niedermeier and Nikolaus Driessen, is the Argument but not quite comprehensible. They have taken over the hall for nearly ten years, and in the course of time, many dealers and small shops. Overall, they are for 450 employees responsible. The concept was designed from the beginning to the diversity and sustainability and, above all, without discount. Many residents at that time were for the redevelopment of the market hall. However, the prices of the small retailers can afford the Least. For example, a Aldi-Breze costs 29 cents. At the organic bakery a couple of doors down from 1,49 Euro will be due. The operators, however, say, you can shop anyway, cheap, you should make in advance thoughts, and cooking.

The head of the protest action, the Köhne 56-year-old Stefanie, sees in the concept of the market hall Nine, however, mainly an engine of the gentrification of the neighborhood. For you, the majority of the offer is pure luxury. She was turning in General, for a sustainable Diet, but you should be all take-away and affordable.
Aldi: The Left still believe in the salvation of the branch
With the closure of the Aldi store remains in the neighborhood just another Discounter. For many of the protesters this is to little. On their posters read: “Omi needs Aldi” and “market hall for all”. That you have with your Protest a success, is rather unlikely, although also local politicians in the discussion on. Oliver Nöll of the Left are aggressive and says Zeit.de “I don’t think that it is the operator to create, against the pressure of so many of their plans to maintain.”
