The companies Hans im Glück (fast food chain) and Pottsalat (salad delivery service) have both separated from co-partner Hans-Christian Limmer. The reason is that Limmer apparently helped organize a meeting of AfD politicians, right-wing extremists and entrepreneurs near Potsdam last November. This is suggested by the publication of the research network “Correctiv”. Limmer does not deny that he helped organize the meeting in a hotel on Lehnitzsee. But he claims he wasn’t there.
In their press releases, the companies emphasized that Limmer’s political views contradicted their values. “We have been living diversity since we founded Pottsalat,” the delivery service writes in a press release. And Hans im Glück made it clear that the entire team was “deeply shocked by these allegations” and emphasized that “we clearly distance ourselves from right-wing extremist views,” “they represent the exact opposite of our basic values.”
In the case of Hans im Glück, Limmer informed the company before the media report that corresponding allegations would be made against him, it said. Limmer emphasized that he had unequivocally distanced himself from the above-mentioned remigration demands to the inquiring medium. Limmer himself did not take part in the event. Limmer was “dismayed by the demands made there”.
In order to prevent damage to Hans im Glück, Limmer offered to immediately give up his partnership status. “The shareholder group has accepted this offer.”

Limmer is also co-founder of the self-service bakery Backwerk, the largest provider of its kind in Germany.
An invitation letter for the meeting, which is available to “Correctiv”, states that a “strategy concept in the sense of a master plan” will be presented at the event. The leading head of the Identitarian Movement, the right-wing extremist Martin Sellner, gave a lecture on the subject of remigration. In it, Sellner explained how it should be possible to deport millions of migrants. It is also said to have been about financing social media campaigns. A “minimum donation of 5,000 euros” was required for participation.
