Immobilien: Krach um die Luxushotels der Berliner Zahnärzte
Mit viel Geld des Zahnärzte-Versorgungswerks baute Jörg Lindner mit der 12.18.-Gruppe Luxushotels. Nun eskaliert zwischen den einstigen Partnern der Streit um die Finanzen.
Düsseldorf-based entrepreneur Jörg Lindner, hailing from a hotelier family, holds a pilot's license and frequently travels on business trips as a co-pilot. Alongside his partner Kai Richter, Lindner aimed to expand into hotel development through the 12.18.-Group. It's fitting that the duo orchestrated a jetpack flight for the opening of their first resort costing over €100 million on the luxury island of Ibiza.
Prominent figures such as Hollywood actor Ralf Möller and comedian Dieter Nuhr attended the event, watching Lindner land on a white terrace in a drone-like rocket backpack.
Many guests, enjoying extravagant drinks and fine dining over the 50,000 square meter facility, were unaware that the Berlin-based Zahnärzte Versorgungswerk (VZB) primarily funded the party and the resort. The VZB's funds were not limited to the Ibiza project; additional millions were invested in the form of loans or equity. Lindner and his now-deceased business partner, Richter, developed hotels in Sardinia, Scotland, New York, and Sylt through these means.
However, eight years after the glamorous opening ceremony on Ibiza, the atmosphere of partying is long gone among the Berlin Zahnärzte.
