The anarchist infocafé seeks to explore what a society free of hierarchy might look like and show the ways to realise it. To this end we offer the opportunity to present emancipatory ideas and actions, analyse past and present movements critical of authority, and thus not only scrutinize our own ideas of a non-hierarchic society but also present organisational structures and forms of action. Together with other groups we form a part of the house project NewYorck59 and work together to shape a self-organised social, cultural, and political centre in Bethanian from below.

For over 10 years, the legendary ARCANOA was THE cult bar in Berlin-Kreuzberg, where independent art celebrated wildly raucous parties.

The uniquely designed rooms provided a dreamlike backdrop for concerts, performances, readings, film screenings, parties and the famous medieval festivals.

In 1998, however, despite a great deal of support, it finally came to an end. Not far from the old ARCANOA, the new ARCANOA opened on Tempelhofer Berg. Parts of the old interior were recreated in new surroundings, such as the fascinating bar counter with the river in it and the iron structures. In addition to many new structural wonders, the new ARCANOA is fully wheelchair accessible.

It supports people in dealing with experienced sexualized violence, sexism, and violent dynamics within relationships- regardless of whether it is physical, psychological, or emotional violence. In the course of doing this, the collective strives to operate outside of definitions of violence that are dominated by major institutions or the state, because they wish to distance themselves from the often disempowering practices that go along with them.

BerTA is an open group and all people who want to actively oppose domination and animal exploitation are welcome to join us.

What we want is a liberated society in which animals also find their place as free individuals.

As a trade union, the primary goal of FAU Berlin is to safeguard and promote the working and economic conditions–as well as the cultural and social interests–of its members. In doing so, it uses various trade union means to enforce demands and to safeguard what has been achieved. To this end, it also works to deepen and broaden the education and skills of its members.

We see ourselves not only as an interest organisation, but also as an organisation fighting for transformation. By uniting and expanding struggles, we want to gain momentum to bring about changes in society as a whole. Our goal is an economic and social order based on collective self-management. The task of the FAU Berlin is therefore also to create the foundations for this in the economic region of Berlin.

Jugendhaus

The OLGA BENARIO Gallery was founded by West-Berlin’s Vereinigung der Verfolgten des Naziregimes/Verband der Antifaschisten (Association of Victims of Nazi Persecution/Association of Anti-Fascists VVN/VdA) and presented its first exhibition on February 12, 1984 in a space on Boddinstrasse (in the Neukölln district of Berlin).

The gallery was named based on three criteria. First, one wanted to honour an antifascist woman. Second, she had to have a connection with the Berlin district of Neukölln. And, third, she had to be an internationalist. Daily life under Nazi rule and the anti-fascist resistance were the main topics of the gallery’s first exhibitions. This was the result of the fact that a great number of VVN/VdA’s members had been eyewitnesses of that era and had fought, mostly as members of the Communist Party, against Hitler’s regime.

When the tenancy agreement for the gallery’s space in Boddinstraße terminated and the VVN/VdA’s subsidies from the GDR stopped, the OLGA BENARIO Gallery found a new space in Neukölln’s Weserstrasse, where it was run in cooperation with the Chilean restaurant “Orlando.” This cooperation ended in 2001, and the OLGA BENARIO Gallery moved to its current space in Neukölln’s Richardstraße.

Mit Vortragsreihen zur Kritik von Herrschaft, Ausbeutung und Unmündigkeit bietet sie eine Plattform für die Diskussion und Theoriebildung innerhalb der radikalen Linken an und will einen Beitrag zur Überwindung kapitalistischer Vergesellschaftung leisten.

The JUP works according to the principle of self-organization; everyone can get involved, take responsibility and help shape things. Interested people can also become members of the association and participate in decision-making processes.

When young people from Pankow occupied the building that now houses the JUP shortly after reunification, it was also about creating a free space for culture and communication. This has remained the case to this day. Everyone should feel comfortable in the JUP, regardless of their skin color, origin, gender or sexual orientation. The "Stilbruch" café on the ground floor of the building has always been the center for the more colorful part of Pankow's youth.

Because of its democratic and human rights orientation, the JUP has been repeatedly attacked by right-wingers and neo-Nazis in all the years of its existence, without this being able to change the course of the house.

The JUP is a special meeting place for young people. Projects and courses that take place in our house are organized by you. It's all about what you want and what you make of it. Our core group consists of teenagers and young adults aged between 15 and 27.

Courses and projects usually take place once a week. You can find out the current times for our activities on the notice board in the JUP hallway or from the staff in the office. If you would like to use our rooms for your projects or organize a course with friends, we will be happy to answer your questions and help you with the planning.

Der MehringHof "gehört" seit 1979 den im Haus arbeitenden Gesellschafter*innen. Alle wichtigen Entscheidungen des MehringHofs werden nach wie vor in Mieter*innenversammlungen diskutiert und entschieden - meistens einvernehmlich.

Der MehringHof lebt von seiner speziellen Mischung:

Einerseits gibt es Gewerbebetriebe, wie den Buchladen Schwarze Risse, die Verlage und den Fahrradladen im MehringHof, andererseits Kulturbetriebe wie das MehringHof-Theater oder das Clash. Das Clash als Kneipe, Veranstaltungsort und mit seinem Mittagstisch auch "MehringHof-Kantine" - hervorgegangen aus der legendären Kollektivkneipe "Spectrum", dem späteren "EX" - war von Anfang an im MehringHof dabei und ist seit 1985 eine Instanz in Berlin. Der MehringHof lebt - Tag und Nacht. Zu bestaunen ist dies bei den zahlreichen Veranstaltungen im Haus, im Buchladen Schwarze Risse, im MehringHof-Theater oder im Clash.

Auch soziale Projekte, Initiativen und Vereine haben hier ihren festen Platz: Etwa das Medibüro Berlin, das Menschen ohne Aufenthaltsstatus und ohne Krankenversicherung anonyme und kostenlose medizinische Behandlung vermittelt, die ambulanten Dienste, die persönliche Assistenz für chronisch kranke und behinderte Menschen organisieren, der AOB - Arbeitskreis Orientierungs- und Bildungshilfe e.V., bei dem Jugendliche und Erwachsene Lesen und Schreiben lernen können, dem Kälteschutz für Obdachlose oder Tauwetter e.V. als Anlaufstelle, für Männer*, die sexualisierter Gewalt ausgesetzt waren.

Das Netzwerk entstand im Zuge des Tunix-Kongresses 1978 aus der Idee heraus den Berufsverboten der 70er Jahren etwas entgegen zu setzen. Betroffene sollten auf ein Selbsthilfenetzwerk auf Basis der Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe, Selbstverwaltung und genossenschaftlicher Arbeitsweise zurückgreifen können.

Das Netzwerk ist Begründer eines solidarischen Förderfonds, der durch seine Mitglieder getragen wird. So können Projekte gefördert und unterstützt werden, die sich für eine solidarische und lebenswerte Gesellschaft einsetzen. Die Verwirklichung des politischen Anspruchs auf Selbstorganisation und für einander Einstehens ist weiterhin unser zukunftsträchtiges Anliegen.

Der durch Mitgliedsbeiträge und Spenden gespeiste Förderfonds unterstützt Projekte und Initiativen, welche Formen des mit- und füreinander Lebens ausprobieren, politische, soziale und kulturelle Bewegungen anstoßen, sich für den Kiez, für Flüchtlinge, für eine alternative Jugendkultur, für Kollektivstrukturen, für Hausprojekte und gegen Rechtsextremismus, gegen Sozialabbau und Stadtumstrukturierung im Sinne der Wohlhabenen einsetzen?–?und das alles außerhalb von staatlichen Institutionen, selbstorganisiert und unabhängig.

The neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK), founded with a grass-roots structure in 1969, is today one of Germany’s most significant and largest art societies. The unique structure of the nGbK enables its members to directly influence its thematic orientation: exhibitions, interventions, research projects, event series and publications are developed in interdisciplinary project groups and supervised from the initial idea to the final implementation.

Themes such as racism, National Socialism and urban politics are negotiated time and again, with a further focus placed on (post)migrant, (post)colonial and gender issues. Topical discourses and debates are openly discussed and reflected upon in a timely manner. Art is understood as a form of action that has an impact on social processes.

Die "perversen Homoratten und deren Freundinnen" haben eine Vorliebe für feuchte, tageslichtfreie Keller mit gepflegtem Ex-Hausbesetzer-Ambiente. Dort empfangen wir Sie zu gewöhnungsbedürftigen Shows voller Trashexzesse, natürlich dargeboten von den bekanntesten Alkoholikern der Stadt. Die Stimmung schwankt dabei regelmäßig zwischen Entsetzen und Gemütlichkeit.
Zweifelhafte Berühmtheit erlangte inzwischen der kollektiveigene Rattenchor, der mit seinen vielstimmigen Interpretationen der Kirchenchor-Top-Ten und DDR-Arbeiterkampflieder den trendsettenden Homosexuellen einige Rätsel aufgibt.
Zu vorgerückter Stunde tanzen viertklassige Räkeldamen auf dem Tresen, während Tunten regelmäßig Punks und Glatzen beim Armdrücken deklassieren. Die verqueren Barschlampen, die für umme hinterm Tresen stehen, geraten dabei regelmäßig in Verzückung.

Our shop was founded on June 2, 1997. Currently there are three of us here going through the ups (very few at the moment) and downs (a lot) of the punk rock business... We have quite a large range of all kinds of punk music, a bit of hardcore and ska and a lot of stuff which is hard to define especially from the Basque country and Spain. Its important for us that we can stand behind the music we have in the shop: punk is not just music, but an active confrontation with the dominant shit around us! That means we do not want to reduce ourselves simply to a punk ghetto, but instead we offer other decent stuff, too. We always try to provide information on political developments, you'll almost always find the Antifa-Info, Interim, Profane Existence, current flyers, posters and the like here ? but no right-wing, patriotic, sexist and other crap. But, since we do can not know everything, we rely on your information as well. You will also never find shit like the Böhse Onkelz, Rammstein, Backfire, Type O Negative, Reducers SF and Earth Crisis is out of the question, whatever our financial situation. Its especially important for us to offer fair prices, even though we have to survive in a capitalist world in which taxes and rents are high. So, instead of complaining, ask us why certain LPs, CDs or tapes cost so much ? normally it is not our fault! We are not a commercial project - on the contrary, most of what we do is more or less voluntary...

Rebellisches Berlin offers three different tours:

* Revolutionary Berlin - a historical tour
* Berlin 1848
* Courageous Women

Places get connected with diverse episodes of "protest from below" of different historical epochs.

Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) is the largest association of communist and anarchist skinheads with many local and national chapters worldwide. RASH was founded in 1993 by members of the (now defunct) Mayday Crew New York after anti-racist but homophobic skinheads murdered a homosexual. They wanted to speak out clearly against homophobia, xenophobia, racism, fascism, and capitalism. In the German-speaking world, they were organized around the magazine Revolution Times. Today the fanzine Red&Black of the RASH section Berlin-Brandenburg takes this place.

The Rainbow Factory is a children's, cultural and neighborhood center in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Occupied in 1981, we still see ourselves as part of the housing and tenant movement and are committed to building and maintaining self-governing, collective and emancipatory structures from below.

As a collective, we work without bosses and make decisions collaboratively and democratically based on the consensus principle. Solidarity and cooperation form the basis of our joint work. For the Rainbow Factory, every work is worth the same, so every work is paid equally.

The Rainbow Factory was declared a monument in 1998.

We are a neighborly community garden in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Everyone who wants to join our community is welcome!

We want to make gardening in the city possible regardless of financial means and ownership. We grow vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants on a public green space in Jessnerstraße. A few benches and small grassy areas invite you to linger.

No cops, no nazis, no racists, no sexists, no trans-/homophobes.

Das studentische Begegnungszentrum Krähenfuß ist ein von Studentinnen und Studenten selbstverwalteter Treffpunkt. Hier kannst du Leute treffen, Party feiern, Kaffeetrinken, Seminare vorbereiten, Pläne schmieden...

We are a colorful bunch of creative and politically interested individuals of all ages. We want to live and work collectively, undogmatically, and free of hierarchies.

We purchased our building in 2010 to keep it out of speculation of the property market. Our street is located in the district of Berlin – Wedding, increasingly marked by gentrification.

Schokoladen e.V. is one of the last oasis in a district that is characterized by increasingly commercial structures. Artists and small producers have set up and maintained a self-managed art and culture project in the premises they rent.

The structure of the building still reflects the initial idea of the founders: the combination of art and life.

The bookstore Schwarze Risse is a self-managed collective and has been located in Mehringhof since 1980. The bookstore sees itself as part of a left-wing public sphere and infrastructure in the city.

Rxxxhaus is now called Schwester Martha.

History of the location: The famous Rauchhaus, one of the first squats in Germany, was the second successful attempt at squatting in Berlin. An industrial site at Mariannenplatz 13 had been occupied only a couple of months before. Now more than 35 years later, Rauchhaus is probably the oldest squat in Berlin which is still run autonomously.

The SfE - School for Adult Education - is an alternative second-chance school that prepares students for the general higher education entrance qualification or the intermediate school leaving certificate. It is self-managed by students and teachers and, due to its emancipatory concept, enables self-determined learning without grades. The examination is taken externally by a state examination board after an appropriate preparation period.

Sexclusivitäten is a feminist one-woman enterprise the declared mission of which, is to promote the sexual health and well-being of all by assuring access to sexual goods and information.

Silverfuture opened 2007. Since then kings, queens and criminal queers and their friends from Berlin and all over the world hang out there.

The venue of SO 36 at Heinrichplatz does not coincidentally bear the name of the old postal code for Kreuzberg; in this space rich in tradition, a vibrant present meets a compelling past. This atmosphere is reflected in the programming at SO 36.

The hall offers space for newcomers, sounds beyond those of the charts and the mainstream, as well as events and shows by all kinds of projects. Earlier, punk music dominated, while today also metal, hip-hop, crossover, techno, and drum ?n? base are to be found. But concerts and discos are only one part of the event programming. Panel discussions, public readings, and political fundraisers are just as much a part, like neighborhood bingo and karaoke nights, the ballroom dancing in ?Café Fatal?, or the oriental gay party ?Gayhane?. Meanwhile, a creative gay and lesbian cultural scene with a constantly growing audience has established itself at SO 36. The SO 36 team is just as diverse as its events. People from various groups and with different backgrounds have started the attempt to build bridges.

Together they run SO 36 as the organization Sub Opus 36 e.V. (non-profit organization), which sees itself first and foremost as an initiator and supporter of cultural events. The organization also provides space for events for other cultural, social, and political projects.

The crowd at SO 36 is composed, like the organization, of people of various age groups, cultural scenes, sexual orientations, of disabled and able-bodied, people of different ethnicities and subcultures together. As an influential cultural institution, SO 36 is also relevant beyond the borders of Kreuzberg, and it is impossible to imagine Berlin night life without the venue on Oranienstraße as innovator and crowd magnet.

so36.net are a few nerds from Kreuzberg* who enjoy and find it important to build and operate self-managed infrastructure for the internet on a voluntary basis. Digitally and locally (IRL™), we are networked with many other political, social and cultural groups. Organizationally, we focus on decentralization and autonomy.
We see ourselves as part of a global struggle against exclusion and exploitation and work together to build local and global alternatives to capitalism.

The Spinnboden is an 'archive from below', created in and from the lesbian movement of the 1970s, in order to preserve its own history(ies), which are otherwise marginalized in the prevailing politics of remembrance. We document the change and diversity of lesbians' self-understandings, cultures and politics and at the same time offer a place for encounters and discussions. We see the Spinnboden as an inclusive project and want to act with and for women, lesbians and queer people in a discrimination-sensitive and alliance-oriented manner.

The Subversiv is part of the left-wing house project at Brunnenstraße 7 in Berlin-Mitte. Here, around 80 people from a wide range of backgrounds live together collectively in various housing groups. The project emerged from a squat in 1990. In the meantime, living here has been legalized, and the owner has been renovating the building from the ground up for several years. In addition to Subversiv, Brunnenstraße is also home to the Infoladen Stattmitte.

Event collective. Cultural association. Cabaret theater.

The Syndikat collective pub was founded in 1985, by local residents. It has operated as a collective ever since. The collectivists changed, but the idea and the pub remained as they were. From the very beginning, it was all about self-determined living and working. The pub is an open space for all emancipatory people, whether from Neukölln or elsewhere. Nazis, racists, sexists and the like were and are not tolerated.

The operators see the "Systemfehler" as a political project that is intended to be a platform for solidarity economy and offers space for events from politics, art & culture, e.g. reading circles, language courses, information events, art actions, ...

The world is in the midst of drastic crises and it is more important than ever to strengthen left-wing emancipatory movements that fight the climate crisis, capitalist logics of exploitation and global inequalities.
tech from below aims to bring people in and from social movements together with tech experts, promote understanding for their respective contexts and break down fears of contact.

Der T.E.K.-Jugendladen arbeitet selbstverwaltet und vertritt die Grundsätze der Selbstbestimmung und Freiheit. Wir fördern Bildung, interkulturelle Begegnungen und vertreten demokratische, antirassistische und emanzipatorische Grundsätze und Prinzipien, um die Vorrausetzungen für ein friedliches und menschliches Miteinander zu schaffen. Ein interkultureller Ansatz, Toleranz bzw. Neugier auf andere und soziales Miteinander dienen der Überwindung von Rassismus. Sexismus und Unterdrückungsmechanismen.

Als wichtigstes Ziel unserer pädagogischen Arbeit betrachten wir es, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene zu unterstützen, selbstbestimmte und eigenverantwortliche Persönlichkeiten zu werden und ihnen die Fähigkeiten für ein verantwortungsvolles Zusammenleben zu vermitteln.

Der Ansatz, der im Jugendladen verfolgt wird, ist Partizipation im Sinne von Selbstverwaltung. Demnach können die Jugendlichen alle Entscheidungen und Entscheidungsprozesse im Jugendladen mitbestimmen. Sie werden zur Mitwirkung und Beteiligung ermutigt und in die gesamten Organisations- und Angebotsdurchführungen miteinbezogen.

The GDR opposition magazine Umweltblätter, which had been published since 1987, was renamed telegraph in 1989. Umweltblätter was published by the East Berlin Environmental Library. This was part of the grassroots peace, environmental and 3rd World movement in the GDR. In the Environmental Library, several young people around the libertarian Wolfgang Rüddenklau tried to counter the state monopoly on information with their own critical reporting. Topics that were taboo in the GDR were addressed, suppressed information and news was disseminated and the various opposition groups in the GDR were offered a platform for discussion.

As the last authentic project of the Berlin Environmental Library and thus also of the left-wing GDR opposition, the telegraph still tries to fight for the unrealized goals of the GDR opposition in a relationship of continuity and rupture that has always been characteristic of it. The editors see themselves as part of the extra-parliamentary opposition, not as ex-opposition members and not as victims.

TING is a historical term for popular and court assemblies. Applied to the TING school, this means that the main pillar of the school community is the weekly school assembly.

The Tommy Weisbecker Haus was founded in the 1970s as part of the extra-parliamentary opposition movement. In the 1970s, the young people of the Tommy House were part of a youth movement that became increasingly politicized and questioned the capitalist society in all areas.

The house is named after Tommy Weisbecker, an organized anarchist who was shot dead by police officers exactly one year before the occupation.

Many rooms in the building are available for all kinds of social and community projects: Café Linie 1 is a meeting place for the music underground scene in Berlin, an event hall where concerts, political events, film screenings and parties take place.

Also at the TWH: sozialpädagogische sondermaßnahmen berlin e. V.
ssb e.V. was founded in 1972 and has been working as a non-profit association in the areas of youth and social affairs ever since. The aim of the association was and is to create and maintain opportunities for self-determined living and working.

TrIQ is a social center and self-advocacy organization by and for trans*, inter* and non-binary people. We are politically, culturally and scientifically committed to trans*, inter* and non-binary issues in Berlin and beyond.

We consider „collectively organized“ as a way to create our daily work – daily cleaning, preparing the ‚Hermelin’, doing night shifts – as equal among the members as possible. By deciding every issue on consensus, we aim to establish a different life beyond common forms of work.
Moreover we want to facilitate that idea among our guests and create a space where you can feel well without any kind of discrimination. We don`t accept racist, antisemitic, sexist or homophobic slogans or treatments. To make a move on someone who doesn`t agree is taboo: No means no! If anything attracts your attention or if you are concerned yourself: contact the barkeepers, who will support you!
We consider ourselves as part of a leftist, unparliamentary infrastructure and donate our tip to emancipatory projects.

LGBTIQ* house project with history.

The first Tuntenhaus existed in the early 80s in Bülowstraße in Schöneberg.

The second, legendary Tuntenhaus was occupied together with other houses in 1990 in Mainzer Straße in Friedrichshain. The documentary "Battle of Tuntenhaus" by u.s. director Juliet Bashore provides insight into the life of the house at that time. In November 1990, shortly after the so-called reunification, the FRG state power, on the orders of Berlin's mayor Momper (who betrayed us?-Social Democrats!), eradicated the hustle and bustle: in an eviction action lasting several days, combined with street battles, the short summer of anarchy was put to rest.

The citizens' initiative was founded in November 1989 in Friedrichshain's Nordkiez district. From the very beginning, UBI KLiZ e. V. has focused on tenant and social counseling and anti-racism work. We work on a voluntary and independent basis in the association's "Mieterladen".

For decades, the celluloid dreams produced on the grounds of the south Berlin UFA film lab were banned. The building was slated to be demolished in 1979, but was eventually saved in order to create the International Cultural Center ufaFabrik Berlin, the most unique work/life project in all of Europe. On its 18,566 square metres of land, 200 employees and around 30 residents work around the clock to bring harmony and meaning to issues such as housing, employment, cultural events, creativity, and other social areas of life.
Various new and unconventional ideas have since been implemented including; ecological pilot projects, energy efficient buildings, innovative community concepts, and social networks for people of all ages, families, and neighbourhoods.

The Umbruch image archive was founded in 1988. Committed photographers make their pictures available to the archive and use them for their own publications. Umbruch now houses more than 150,000 photos on social, cultural and political hotspots. This contemporary historical documentation is a good resource for creating publications of all kinds.

The Vétomat is our extended living room with an attached screen printing workshop, rooted in the heart of Friedrichshain since 2006. It is an alternative free space for art and culture creators looking for a place for self-realization and participation beyond commercial business.

Seit 1991 existiert die Wagenburg Lohmühle in Alt-Treptow. Einige Bauwagen- und LKWbewohnerInnen machten sich seinerzeit auf, um den ehemaligen Mauerstreifen im heutigen Schlesischen Busch zu besetzen. Als dieser zu einem Park umgestaltet wurde, rückten die WagenburgerInnen auf das Gelände neben der Lohmühlenstrasse. Das vorherige Niemandsland hatte nicht viel zu bieten: Die Grenzer hatten alles daran gesetzt, die Bezeichnung Todesstreifen auch auf jegliches wachsendes Grün zu beziehen. Doch niemand versinkt des Winters gerne im Schlamm oder mag es des Sommers den Staub einer vegetationslosen Brachfläche einzuatmen. So kam es zu ersten Anpflanzungen. Das Projekt Lohmühle entwickelte sich. Die ersten Toiletten wurden gebaut , Wege angelegt, Erde aufgeschüttet, es wurde gepflanzt, gegossen, gepflegt. Schließlich zimmerte man eine Bühne für Veranstaltungen mit dazugehörigem Tresen und angeschaffter Technik (siehe Terminkalender). Im Laufe der Jahre mauserte sich die Lohmühle zu einem anerkannten Kulturprojekt. Ein Projekt dass sich immer wieder erneuert und dessen Bedarf an Pflanzungen und Holzschrauben kontinuierlich steigt. Wir beziehen inzwischen den Bereich Ökologie in unser Kultur- und Lebensprojekt mit ein. So wird beispielsweise auf Braunkohle zum Heizen nach Möglichkeit verzichtet und unser Abwasser wird in eigenen Pflanzenkläranlagen entsorgt. Wir verzichten auf öffentliche Strom- und Wasseranbieter, um unsere Autonomie und die der Umwelt im Rahmen der Gegebenheiten zu bewahren. Unsere Gärten sind kleine Ökosysteme, die seltene Tierarten und Pflanzen beherbergen. Von den BewohnerInnen der ersten Stunde leben nicht mehr viele auf dem Platz. Aber die nachfolgenden Generationen hoffen, dass es ihnen gelungen ist und weiterhin gelingt, das Erbe der Gründer weiterzuträumen. Derzeit leben 17 Erwachsene, anderthalb Kinder und ein Dutzend Hunde und Katzen auf dem Areal. Seit einiger Zeit besteht mit dem Bezirk Treptow-Köpenick ein Vertrag, der unseren Verein Kulturbanausen e.V. als Verwalter des Grundstücks einsetzt. Dieses Abkommen ist leider auf fünf Jahre begrenzt und bedeutet keineswegs, dass wir nun weniger um Spekulanten fürchten müssen. Trotzdem hoffen wir, dass wir mit unserem urbanen Leben wegweisend sein können für andere Projekte und besonders für diejenigen, die über das Überleben dieser den Daumen heben oder senken. Getreu der komischen Berliner Idee unsere Stadt via Slogan nach außen zu präsentieren, sagen wir: Sei Bürger, sei Wagenbürger, sei Berlin. Freiräume für alle!

Women in Exile is an initiative of refugee women founded in Brandenburg in 2002 by refugee women to fight for their rights.

Our fundamental political goal is the utopia of a just society without exclusion and discrimination, with equal rights for all, irrespective of where they come from and where they go. In concrete policy terms we focus on abolishing all laws discriminatory to asylum seekers and migrants and on the interconnections of racism and sexism. We perceive ourselves as a feminist organization and are one of the few links between the women’s movement and the refugees’ movement.

Women in Exile & Friends is active in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Part of the house project Grünberger 73.
