Mrs. Respati, One of the Heirs, Shares Solo Mayor’s Hopes for Sriwedari's Future

Respati hopes this step will help clarify Sriwedari’s land status, giving Pemkot Solo a basis to manage and arrange the area.

“Our parents have rejected the inheritance, so we hand it over to the city government,” she explained.

The Ongoing Sriwedari Land Dispute

The dispute over Sriwedari land concerns ownership claims between Pemkot Solo and the heirs.

The coordinator of the heirs of the late KRMT Wiryodiningrat, RM Gunadi Joko Pikukuh, questioned the validity of Usage Rights Certificates (SHP) numbers 40 and 41, which serve as the basis for Pemkot's control over the Sriwedari area.

Gunadi stated that SHP 40 and 41 were issued after the Supreme Court’s cassation ruling Number 3249-K/PDT/2012 dated December 5, 2013, which he says has permanent legal force.

“The annulment of SHP 11 and 15 and the eviction in 2013 was legally final. In 2015, Pemkot issued SHP 40 and 41, among others. This has no correlation with the ruling. The main case has been resolved. It is already the heirs’ property, just waiting for actual execution. Until the real execution takes place, the status quo remains,” he explained, as quoted by Tribun Solo on Friday (18/9/2026).

Meanwhile, Commission I of the Solo Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) stated that Pemkot Solo is the holder of the Usage Rights Certificates 40 and 41 for Sriwedari land.

This statement was made after Commission I conducted a meeting with several local government agencies (OPD) and the Solo National Land Agency (BPN) on Wednesday (16/9/2026).

“According to BPN, the usage rights 40 and 41 belong to Pemkot, with no conflicting records. It’s clear,” said Commission I Deputy Chair Suharsono, quoted by Kompas.com” on Thursday.

The dispute reemerged when heirs brought materials to build the Sekber office west of the Wayang Orang Sriwedari Building. The planned structure measures 9 by 14 meters.

Pemkot Solo requested the materials be removed. The Solo Culture and Tourism Office sent a letter to Gunadi, giving him 48 hours to retrieve materials present on the land which Pemkot claims as asset based on Usage Rights Certificates 26, 40, 41, and 46.

When the materials were not removed by the deadline, the Solo Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) intervened on Thursday (17/9/2026). Several materials including foundation blocks, wood, and tiles were hauled away and secured at the Satpol PP headquarters.

Satpol PP Head Didik Anggono said the owners can reclaim the materials at any time.

“There is a letter documenting the security of the goods and a report. We keep the materials at Satpol PP office. Owners are free to collect them anytime,” he explained.

Despite the removal, Gunadi emphasized the Sekber building plans remain unchanged.
