A UK-based Swedish multibillionaire family known for their philanthropic donations to literature, libraries and other arts, have become the target of angry protests in Berlin over the eviction of a community bookshop from a counter-culture neighbourhood.
The bookseller Kisch & Co, which has operated for the last 24 years from a historic building on one of the main thoroughfares in the Kreuzberg district of Germany’s capital, was told on Thursday by a criminal court to vacate its premises.

The building’s owners were represented via video link in court by a Frankfurt-based law firm, which in turn was acting on behalf of the Luxembourg-registered Victoria Immo Properties V SARL, which bought the property for more than €35m in 2019.
Tax justice researchers believe Victoria Immo is a shell company that hides the investment’s real beneficiaries, members of the Swedish Rausing family, heirs to the Tetra Pak fortune.
Victoria Immo’s affairs are handled in a trust capacity by three Liechtenstein-based family lawyers who act in the same role for the Danish agriculture company Ingleby Farms & Forests, which is owned by Lisbet Rausing and Benjamin Henry Anders Rausing Koerner.

“We cannot prove for sure that the Rausing family is behind the company seeking the eviction of Kisch & Co, ” said Christoph Trautvetter, a tax specialist researching Berlin’s ownership structures on behalf of the leftwing Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. “But I am 99.9% certain that they are.”

Over the last year the heirs of the food-packaging empire have been the target of weekly protests outside the bookshop. Local members of the bands Einstürzende Neubauten and Stereo Total have supported the protest, and a petition mentioning the Swedish family as the probable owners has been signed by more than 20, 000 people, including the Nobel Prize winning writer Elfriede Jelinek and the Turner-Prize winning artist Wolfgang Tillmans.

Outside the criminal court in the Moabit district of Berlin, about 300 people gathered to protest against Kisch & Co’s eviction, waving placards with the words: “Which members of the Rausing clan is really behind this? Is it you Lisbet?” Other placards carried the names of other members of the Swedish family.
One group of protesters performed a morality play based on the trial against the bookshop, in which the property’s owners were represented by two women and a man carrying a placard with the word “Victoria”. One of the lines in the play ran: “The family has to be measured by the mission statements of their own charities.”
Tetra Pak was founded by Ruben Rausing. His sons, Hans and Gad, were based in the UK from 1982. In 1993 they were listed as Britain’s richest men, their wealth at the time eclipsing that of the Queen. They have both since died.

The two daughters of Hans have each made a mark on the British art and literature circuit. Sigrid Rausing, 59, is the owner of the literary magazine Granta, and Granta Books. Her charitable trust has donated to human rights organisations around the world.
Her older sister, Lisbet, 61, is a co-founder of the Arcadia Fund, which says it seeks to “preserve endangered cultural heritage, protect endangered ecosystems, and promote access to knowledge”.
When asked by the Guardian whether the Rausing family directly or indirectly held shares in or received economic benefits from Victoria Immo, Sigrid Rausing denied any personal involvement, while Lisbet did not respond.

“I have no financial interest or ownership position in the building, and have made that clear previously to the owners of Kisch and various other people, including politicians, who have been in touch about the issue, ” Sigrid Rausing said in an email.
Kisch & Co’s owner, Thorsten Willenbrock, said he could not condemn his shop’s supporters for targeting the Rausing family in their protests. “We have always tried to reach out to the real owners and discuss a lease extension face-to-face, ” he said. “But we were only bounced from lawyer to lawyer and then slapped down with an eviction notice.”
Willenbrock said he was considering appealing against the verdict but expected that he would have to clear out his shop within the next seven weeks.

“What makes me so angry is that the anonymous people who bought the building knew that it is a well-known, much loved building filled with cultural workers and organisations, ” said photographer Tillmans, whose studio is also in the neighbourhood.
“Why buy the place and then fire the people that make the neighbourhood attractive in the first place? It is not a sustainable investment.”Jandelsbrunn.The current advertising campaign of innovation leader Knaus Tabbert AG, to date unique in the sector, surprises the entire caravaning sector.

Gerd Adamietzki, Director and CSO of Knaus Tabbert AG: „Presence in the media is important now more than ever. By way of this spectacular advertising drive – which runs at the same time in Europe –, we want to offer a guide to many interested parties and potential new customers and better inform them about our strong product brands as well as the innovative power of Knaus Tabbert.
The scope of the campaign includes concise 30‐second spots that are not only prominently placed before the main TV news programmes on the major channels. There are also print advertisements in all key trade and public media, which are supported by targeted out‐of‐home advertising with large‐scale posters on frequently used streets as well as output in all relevant online and social media channels.„We are holidays‟is the snappy main line in the campaign (www.wir‐sind‐urlaub.com)*, which will be launched at the start of May 2021 and culminates in the „OPEN DEALER DAYS‟ from 7 June 2021 to 13 June 2021. The participating dealers will provide advice on site throughout Europe where possible. Furthermore, they will provide a sophisticated form of digital product advice via messenger and video apps to present to all interested parties who cannot take part in person all the advantages of individual models in a comprehensive and lively manner which, to date, has only been possible via personal meetings. Based on calculations, the campaign will generate about 250, 000 views for each dealer. Customers can expect an extremely attractive plus in respect of the purchase price: they will save up to EUR 19, 824 on special models as part of the „We are holidays‟ campaign. They will also benefit from numerous equipment highlights, and interested parties have the chance of winning a two‐week holiday as a main prize and 9x1 weekends in a motorhome.
KNAUS, TABBERT, WEINSBERG, T@B and the rent brand RENT AND TRAVEL make up the five brands taking part in this major advertising drive under the aegis of Knaus Tabbert. In that respect, „We are holidays‟ stands for the promise of an independent, self‐determined and safe holiday – terms in 2021 that are more important and valued higher than ever before. In addition, Knaus Tabbert has also notched up a further success by scheduling the campaign for May 2021. While the vaccination campaign is gaining momentum in many regions, and trips to an increasing number of destinations are possible again, it is clear that interest in caravaning has increased once again among the population. The precise time at which Knaus Tabbert is launching an impressive advertising campaign on all channels. And Knaus Tabbert will be able to react flexibly in the event that the OPEN DEALER DAYS are cancelled in individual federal states or regions.
