The long weekend of the Rigaerstrasse
For a while, various house projects in Rigaer Straße and nearby have been meeting in order to fight together against evictions, luxury modernisation and the selling of our houses. We therefore started a campaign to once again make this theme public, as well as the process of gentrification.
The campaign will be opened with a long weekend which will take place here in the street.

"Rigaer 94" Fights Back

"Rigaer 94" Fights Back
Slogans Sprayed
Yesterday night unknown persons spray-painted the fronts of houses and demolished a car in Friedrichshain. As the police say, these acts are linked to the living and cultural project "Rigaer 94". Houses in Rigaer, Liebig and Scharnweber streets were painted with about 20 slogans, for example "Scheiß Deutschland" (shit germany) and "Rigaer fight back".
Also in Rigaerstraße the Mercedes of Suitbert B., who bought number 94 seven years ago, was damaged. The inhabitants, ex-squatters, have cheap rent contracts since the legalisation. Several times B. tried to evict the houses through the courts, but was only successfull in some cases. At every partial eviction there havge been massive police operations. Right now "Rigaer 94" has a cult status within the scene, similar to the house project "Köpi" in Köpenicker Straße in Berlin/Mitte or the project "York59" in Kreuzberg.

Introduction
People, Comrades, Friends!
Presenting you the Campaign ”Rigaer Strasse Fight's Back !”,
Corner Rigaer Str./Liebig Str., East Berlin Germony: Coming from the last squatting wave after the fall of Berlin wall in 1990, we're five mostly legalised house collectives in a close neighborhood. We consider ourselves as part of the international autonomous structure. Our houses give us space for collective living in groups of 8- 50 people. In 2007, we are threatened by gentrification...more
