contents We derive two forms of conditional a posteriori error estimates for a finite volume scheme approximating the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system. The estimates control the error in the $L^\infty(0,T, L^2(Ω))$- and $L^2(0,T;H^1(Ω))$-norm and exhibit linear convergence in the mesh size, as observed in numerical experiments. Crucially, we show that as long as the condition of the error estimate is satisfied a weak solution exits. This means, as long as the numerical solution has good properties, we can rigorously infer existence of an exact solution.
