Beloved Berlin Seafood Institution Ergün's Fish Bude Set to Close After 30 Years
Ergün's Fish Bude, a renowned seafood restaurant in Berlin, is set to close after three decades of serving the city. The lease termination, reportedly due to fire safety issues, has left the future of this iconic eatery uncertain.
The restaurant's closure was first announced in July 2024. Deutsche Bahn, the leaseholder, did not renew the lease, making it challenging for the owners to continue operations. Manager Mine Centinbas has hinted at the possibility of reopening in a new location if necessary.
The closure of Ergün's Fish Bude is seen as more than just the loss of a popular dining spot. It's a blow to Berlin's history and a threat to small businesses. A fundraising campaign has been started to keep the restaurant open, but the purpose of donations is unclear given the lease situation. The restaurant's founder, Ergün Amca, a former guest worker, built the business from scratch, making its closure all the more poignant.
Donations for a new location are being collected, but the plans for the future site remain unknown. No specific closure date has been announced, leaving patrons and supporters hoping for a miracle.
Ergün's Fish Bude, a staple in Berlin's culinary scene, is closing after 30 years. While the future remains uncertain, the restaurant's legacy as a symbol of resilience and community lives on. The city and its patrons eagerly await news of its potential rebirth.
