According to the court, the ‘main residence’ was just a trick: Porsche top manager Lutz Meschke (57) is now no longer allowed to use the chalet near Kitzbühel.
Kitzbühel and the surrounding area are in high demand. But anyone buying an apartment or house here should pay attention to holiday dedications or register a main residence. In legal German we talk about the “center of vital interests”.
The blinds were mostly closed
Lutz Meschke (57), who sits twice on the board of Porsche AG and Porsche SE, also signed up to comply with this in 2014. The deputy boss of Porsche spent 1.5 million euros on the luxury chalet in the Stanglwirt town of Going. There the blinds were usually closed and none of the three children went to school or university in Tyrol – which would have been an indication of the center of their lives.
That was an eyesore and an advertisement fluttered into the house. On July 17 of the previous year, Mayor Alexander Hochfilzer banned the use of the building in the previous manner.
Presence is necessary for Maschke
The top manager’s objection was not long in coming: he also worked in the real estate sector in the Kitzbühel region, so his presence was necessary, he emphasized. The fact that he spends little time with his largely absent family is no reason why he does not live in Going.
He is just “not an average employee”. This strategy left the Tyrolean State Council indifferent and the “expulsion” from the city was perfect. Now the million dollar villa is for sale.
