What Krone readers say about the green backyard

(Bild: klemens groh)

A retired couple in a residential complex in Ottakingen have planted greenery in their backyard at their own expense and made it blossom. After a neighbor complained to the property management, all the plants had to be removed. After the incident made waves thanks to the "Krone" report, the eviction has now been suspended - for the time being. Find out what the Krone community thinks here.

When the pensioner moved in here over 25 years ago, everything was gray and bare. Together with her husband, she created a small garden in the gray backyard. Always at her own expense. For some "Krone" users, however, one thing is clear: without the cooperative's permission, she has no right to put up her own plants and decorations in the shared courtyard.

"Too bad about the small garden."

However, many of the "Krone" community are behind the pensioner, such as the three users Signora, rdatejust and Normalo365. 

"Get together and TALK to each other"

Some members of the "Krone" community are certain that the problem could have been solved with open communication. With less "kitsch" in the backyard, a solution could have been found without having to give up the green oasis completely.

What do you think of private individuals letting off steam in terms of design on communal areas? What should be considered in terms of the common good? We look forward to hearing your views in the comments!
