Berlin can’t act on vacant Soviet-era buildings in Karlshorst due to unclear ownership and Russian ties, despite decay and public pressure.
Berlin is stuck in a bureaucratic deadlock over three deteriorating Soviet-era buildings in Karlshorst, known as the "Russian houses," which have been vacant since 1994.
Despite strained relations with Russia and Germany’s support for Ukraine, officials have not seized or repurposed the structures due to unclear property rights, heritage protections, and lack of Russian consent.
The buildings, now overrun by raccoons and vegetation, remain under Russian ownership, with no action taken despite repeated calls from local officials and public pressure.
