Squatting and Then? — Appropriation and Remunicipalization of Housing
Tommyhaus
After a long period of time, once again there have been some successful occupations of housing in the recent years, in which activists have appropriated apartments together with homeless people. But what exactly happens after the occupation in order to secure housing in the long term? How can we save apartments from vacancy and demolition in the long term, instead of interim use, to create a home for people who urgently need it?
Using the examples of Habersaathstraße in Berlin and Gündi West in Frankfurt am Main, we would like to discuss the prospects of these projects. How can re-municipalization work? Which perspectives emerge from the two projects for other groups? What can we learn from these individual cases in general and for other projects?
