This is the answer to the question Mold problem in the new kitchen – how to prevent it in the future?
Revision 1
The problem, most likely (beware of remote diagnostics), is condensation (cooking, warm air) and a cold corner (exterior walls, "old" house).
There are really only two reasonable options:
1. complete exterior insulation (expensive)
2. remove the interior plaster in the affected corner, glue special boards for interior insulation (see above -> "climate boards"), and then re-plaster.
Any other option would be a real "sucker," and I'm afraid it will get moldy again sooner or later.
P.S.: There are special paints that contain mold protection. I used it to repair a corner in my rental apartment 10 years ago, and it worked well for 5 years. I don't know if it would work on the scale of your home.
