No agreement reached End of the road for the snack bar in the Rheinaue

Bonn · Discussions between the city and Marion Mader, lessee of the snack bar in the Rheinaue, have apparently been unsuccessful. She now has to close after 17 years.

It is the end of the road for the snack bar in the Rheinaue on Charles-de-Gaulle-Straße near the Posttower. Operator Marion Mader has to close at the end of the year after 17 years according to confidential documents from the meeting of Bonn district council at the start of December. The reason: the administration terminated the rental contract in March, among other reasons because there was no sewage pipe and wastewater was flowing untreated into the Rhine. The administration also said there was no approval for the operation of the kiosk including outdoor catering.

Originally, the district council had demanded in the summer that the city look for a solution with Mader as to how the lease agreement could continue. CDU councillor Herbert Kaupert had previously learned of the termination through Mader. He arranged for the issue to be put on the council’s agenda. However, the discussions between the city and Mader have apparently not been successful. It was not made clear why by either of the parties on Monday.

The district council decided by a majority not to consider the issue further at its meeting in December. The administration had realised that the snack bar was originally only a kiosk. At the time, floor space of 25 square metres was contractually agreed. In the meantime, the snack bar stands on around 70 square metres.

The missing sewage pipe was discovered during drainage works last year. The documents go on to say that as there were no funds available for the construction of the sewage connection suggested by the district council and as the lessee had not made any offer to the administration to assume any costs, they saw no possibility of approving the operation of a snack bar there.
