Update from 27.02.23: Local councilor Zahide Yesil was added to the article.
“Durlach against prostitution” is the name of a citizens’ initiative that was formed within a few days. The reason for this are the plans of the real estate agent Kerem Bayrak, who wants to turn Ottostraße 4 in Durlach into a brothel. The former offices are currently empty and are to be renovated and converted into a large brothel in the near future.
In addition to the citizens’ initiative, the local council of Durlach is not pleased with the plans of the real estate marketer. Local councillor and city councillor Jürgen Wenzel, who is on the city council for the Free Voters and FOR Karlsruhe parliamentary city council group, thinks the citizens’ initiative is right to oppose the building plans:
“In these plans we see a great damage for Durlach! Because we want to remain a city with a friendly and livable external image. We cannot and will not accept a large brothel near residential areas and sports clubs. We as Free Voters and FOR Karlsruhe remain active and strive to prevent the construction project.”
