  "account": "Critical shareholders are expressing opposition to the planned sale of the prestigious Adlon hotel at Pariser Platz in Berlin. A primary source of discontent centers around the success participation of the real estate company Jagdfeld. According to recent information, Jagdfeld receives 20 percent of the purchase price should it exceed the projected 310 million euros. The minimum purchase price set for the property is 280 million euros. Jagdfeld explains that when the minimum sale price is surpassed, not only do the shareholders benefit, but the personally liable shareholder (phG) also receives compensation for their extraordinary contribution, which led to a high sale price.\n\nThe luxury hotel is part of the Fundus-Fonds 31, managed by Jagdfeld. According to the company, the hotel is owned by around 4,000 individual investors, primarily retirees who wish to divest their shares. Jagdfeld aims to sell the property to meet the investors' desires and achieve the highest possible price. The fund company is in a comfortable position to proceed with this plan independently and transfer this renowned hotel to new owners. The deadline for shareholder approval is 27 August. The critical shareholders, who prefer not to be named, collectively own several hundred thousand euros in the fund and believe a purchase price between 350 and 400 million euros is realistic. The success participation for Jagdfeld could reach a two-digit million figure, which is too much for the investors. They do not want to approve the sale, but more significant shareholders would be needed to prevent this, according to Jagdfeld. The company claims a \"very positive mood\" among shareholders and is confident that the required majority will be achieved. Adlon, the hotel's namesake, was surprised by the sale announcement, expressing satisfaction with the current caretakers, Kempinski, who have managed the hotel well. He praised Jagdfeld for restoring the hotel with elegance and style. Adlon would prefer to repurchase the Adlon and its name, stating he cannot sell a piece of soap with his name.",
  "summary": "The legendary Hotel Adlon is to be sold - but this requires the approval of the previous shareholders. Now, criticism of the plans is coming from their ranks.",
