Fire and illegal party: Chaos on Potsdam's former Telekom site!
On the night of Saturday, November 2nd, 2025, there was a fire on the former Telekom site on Michendorfer Chaussee, less than three months after a devastating major fire in the former state parliament in Potsdam. Witnesses reported seeing several people on the abandoned commercial property around 2:30 a.m. At the same time, a fire on the property was reported via the rescue control center, which called the police and fire department into action.
The fire department had its hands full extinguishing burning cables in the old building complex. Meanwhile, officers came across an illegal party described as an “undeclared music event”. The police recorded the personal details of those present and prohibited the celebration. An investigation into possible connections between the celebrants and the fire is currently underway Daily Mirror reported.
Investigation findings and safety concerns
The authorities urge you not to enter the former state parliament building and the surrounding area. There is a danger to life from falling building parts. The owner of the former state parliament is the Berlin real estate company Sanus. Although the 2015 sales agreement stipulates significant obligations for the renovation of the area, no construction activity has taken place since 2019. If these obligations are not fulfilled by the end of 2025, the contract could have serious consequences for Sanus.
The police are asking the public to come forward with any relevant information, especially witnesses who made observations in the area around the former state parliament on August 5th between 12:00 and 3:30 p.m. Information can be given to the Potsdam police station on 0331 5508-0.
