Berlin September 29: Liebig34 must stay!

Liebig34 is a self-organized, anarcha-queer-feminist house project in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The house was occupied in 1990 and later legalized. This contract expires in December 2018 and and we are not being given an extension: the owner, Gijora Padovicz, wants to clear the house, renovate it and rent it out again for maximum profit. Padovicz is known in Berlin for systematically buying up, clearing and destroying houses and residential projects.

We cannot and will not allow another house to be taken from us. In times of progressive capitalist exploitation of living spaces, a practice needs to oppose this logic. In times of AfD, CDU/CSU and Pegida such feminist spaces and organization are needed to counter the noticeable shift to the right in society. Places are needed where people with diverse backgrounds and gender identities can live collectively and without cis-men -irrespective of their origin, social class, financial means or residence status. Places where power structures and privileges are reflected upon are needed to make them surmountable. Everyday organization which instead of relying on state structures makes them superfluous and attacks them are needed now more than ever.

We are standing in the way of neighborhood development and will not make room for luxury buildings. We need places of feminist self-organization and political resistance. We will fight for the Liebig34!

Come to the demo on 29.09.2018 at 6pm and show that the Liebig34 concerns us all!

Keep resisting to patriarchy, gentrification, the state and capitalism!

Fight for Liebig34!

Saturday 29.09. | 18:00 Uhr | Wismarplatz Friedrichshain | Berlin |

We express our solidarity with many other projects currently under acute threat. Your fight for freedom and self-determination is our fight! Across Germany, more than 25 projects are in inmminent danger of eviction. These are in Berlin the bar collective Meuterei, das SJZ Drugstore, Potse, Rigaer 94 and more. In addition, the future of the Hambach Forest, the Black Triangle and Rhizomia wagenplatz in Leipzig, the Hasi in Halle, the AZ Köln, the Havanna Acht in Marburg, the Mainusch house in Mainz and (unfortunately) many more is uncertain. More information about these and more projects can be found here:

In addition, the dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Berlin on 28 and 29 September. We call upon you to take our protest against him and his fascist policies out on the streets, as well as our protest against the policies of the German Federal Government.

Saturday 29.09. | 12:00 Uhr | Neptunbrunnen | Alexanderplatz | Berlin |

Our mission for the 29th of September (and every other day) is: To chase away Erdoğan and to defend Liebig34!

Rigaer Berlin: Intersquat Block at the chaos and discussion days, 10.5. -13.5.2018

You’re invited to an Intersquat Block at the Chaos and Discussiondays in May in Berlin. We want to offer the space for an exchange on our tactics and techniques, discussions and information within the Chaos and Discussiondays at Rigaerstrasse.

Structurally we don’t plan on this being an equal replacement for the past Intersquat meetings, unless you want to make it such. We do think this is a good opportunity to connect the general discussions on the sense and future of urban struggles with questions that come up when considering squatting as more than a tool to satisfy basic housing needs. We hope for a discussion on the importance of squatting for other liberatory struggles, houses as political tools, questions on working within and with neighbourhoods and more.

Evictions, Repression, Surveillance, Prisons,the maggots using and supporting oppressive structures are everywhere let’s get together to support eachother and smash the ball not just into their court but through its heart.

If you personally or as a group are interested, have workshops, stuff to discuss, an info event or anything else in mind for the intersquat block or the whole weekend, just write us @ rigaerstrasse [at] riseup [dot] net PGP-Key-ID 0x3971B260E4B15B69

You can find more info about the weekend on engegenstadt.blackblogs.org some informations are updated in german first and translated a bit later though

To arrange sleeping places you can write to sleepingchaos [at] riseup [dot] net with PGP-Key-ID 0xA9DE538A73306A20

Feel free to send this message on to groups, people and houses you know! And please send us your PGP-Key if you have one”

Berlin: Demonstration for the Termination of the Peace with the Rich & Powerful

International demonstration for the termination of the peace with the rich and powerful April 22nd 2017 // 20:00 // Corner of Eldenaerstr and Proskauerstr, Berlin.

Fight CG-Gruppe , Attack G20, Defend threatened Projects

The humanity and what has been defining the neighbourhoods is ultimately and irrevocably getting lost in the development of Berlins living and dwelling situation. The years of pushing back against the sell out of our habitat were not without small achievements but the general frenzy is ploughing on through the city.

The long overdue insurgence, one which goes beyond what is accepted as protests and violently intervenes against capitalist logic and it’s beneficiaries, remains absent. The wish to destroy the capitalist order keeps growing in many of us.

The last year already saw two neighbourhood demos in Friedrichshain, each time several thousand people came together and set an example for the support of rebellious projects. There have been continual attacks against the city of the rich in parallel, not only in Berlin. We’re now planning the third and maybe last orderly demonstration from Rigaer Straße. We call all those that are in favour of an uprising against party politics and monetary interests and want to fight for freedom and autonomy, to join us

Fight CG-Gruppe – obliterate new hotel-developments

Demonstrations and other actions against the new developments on Rigaer Straße between Voigtstraße and Samariterstraße have been happening for a year now. The commencement of work for CG-Gruppe is stumbling a bit but in the mean time the LIDL across the road was demolished and the construction work for new hotels has started there. What’s in store for the Kiez (local term for the close neighbourhood, its community and structures) is becoming clearer: the residential area around Rigaer Straße is meant to cede to a vibrant neighbourhood à la Simon-Dach Straße. They want our full touristic and commercial exploitation. We are just scrap in that plan

Chasing out , obliterating, preventing: this Is the vocabulary of our deepest desires

but we don’t have any other choice. Those living under the illusion a compromise for Berlin could be found – have lost their marbles . Let us be realistic, if we don’t find a weapon that can stop this development now, we will keep losing ground.

We’ll live scattered all over the city and won’t even have to think about gentrification, because everything is already sold.

What is needed now is creativity , a readiness to take risks and coordination between militant actions and public kiez-initiatives – more boring, meandering walking demos will not bring us forward.

That is why this demo should be a motivation for us and others, to force people like Christoph Gröner of CG-Gruppe , constructions and investment firms and institutions like the police and political parties to PRACTICAL responsibility.

Attack G20 – bring Kiez struggles to Hamburg

Gentrification and repression are not isolated from worldwide struggles. All over the world people are robbed of their habitat and their social and cultural context. Be it Peru, Brazil, France or China, where people are subjected to the callous lunacy of super projects, being displaced and treated like commodities.

Here a mine, there a giant airport or Olympics or here a super-city supposed to serve capitalist interests with no ifs, ands or buts.

The response to resistance ranges from brutal repression to bribery. The same logic of exploitation not only applies to people but also to nature and the whole globe. The 20 strongest states of the world meet in July for the G20 summit to perfect this logic. In the past, summits like this were also summits of resistance. This year it’s time again, a meeting of all those that want to bring their rage against the prevailing order onto the streets is announcing itself. We don’t want to be just onlookers, but properly stir it up. There are already call outs to bring the neighbourhood struggles to the Elbe-city. It’s hard to bring this concept into practise as most people don’t want to realize the connection between neighbourhood struggles and the struggles world wide. This demonstration should advertise for those to come to Hamburg that feel exploited and oppressed by city politics and get involved in elevating the tension in the run-up to the summit.

Defend threatened projects – decentralized and mass resistance on Day X

Like Rigaer94 and Rigaer as a whole, several other projects and people in Berlin are threatened by getting evicted and being destroyed. Especially Neuköllns Kiezladen Friedel54, has developed a potential for setting an aspirational example for the resistance.

Users of the shop have not been paying rent for several months after permanent threats from the corporate owner. Now the threat of eviction comes from the same party politics that have permanently attempted to portray itself as social but engages in violent displacement for years.

If there will be a new escalation by politicians or police like in the previous year, they can expect plenty of stress.

No matter whether it’s the commencemnt of building from CG-Gruppe, eviction of Rigaer94 or Friedel: our answer is a mix of mass actions and decentralized Day X actions.

When our lives are destroyed, there will be “TRÜMMERTANGO” (dance of the debris)

Berlin: Report-back from the Defend Rigaer 94 demo on July 9

Burst the dreams of investors – Defend Rigaer 94

Before the demonstration the media and lots of politicians were nervous and expected a violent event on top of almost three weeks of actions in solidarity with Rigaer 94. For that they ordered 1800 cops from different parts of Germany.

The demonstration started almost on time at 21:15 at Wismarplatz in Friedrichshain with about 6000 people, after a manifestation of 45 minutes took place, where the speaker read some writings about the situation in the neighborhood these days. The first two lines were built by civil cops in yellow vests and after some cop cars before the real demonstration was visible. In the front they were holding lot’s of banners and signs. In the end it looked still organized and seemed to be a big beautiful black block.

When the demonstration reached Frankfurter Allee, the first big street, two cop cars were attacked with stones. People were showing their solidarity with fireworks and banner from the rooftop. On the way lots of people opened stones for the public and offered more chances to attack cops, who are a major enemy in the conflict about Rigaer Straße. After the first attack people took every chance to hit them again until they built a line on both sides of the demonstration in Liebigstraße. This time they started to beat up people, split the demonstration and use liters of pepper spray. But even so the attacks continued and especially the not shielded brigade of civil cops (PMS) had to run. The demo stopped just before Rigaer Straße and it was unclear if it could be continued. After a few minutes they decided to go on and passed Rigaer 94, barricaded by cops so that nobody could even think about re-squatting the Kadterschmiede. Only a few attacks on Bambiland (luxury buildings) and some cops followed, before the demonstration reaches larger streets and ended up at Warschauer Strasse, where the cops arrested most of the 86 persons.

Some people called to go back to Rigaer Strasse to keep the dynamic, attack the red zone and get back the Kadterschmiede, but why ever, almost nobody followed and most of the demonstrators preferred to stay and get arrested. After the demonstration lots of cars and construction equipment all over Berlin burned and a hundred people attacked the cops again at Mariannenplatz.

After all cops and media call it the most violent demonstration for the last five years and still don’t wonder about the reason.

Hate Cops – Love R94!
