Title: activist occupies former factory apartment in Berliner Kiez

subtitle: Occupation should draw attention to a precarious living situation and impending displacement

At the former factory apartment at Hermannstrasse 48 in Berlin, life has returned after two years. However, unlike the owner, planned. Activist has occupied the vacant building and hung banners out of the windows to draw attention to their demands. The new owners, the Hermannshof 48 property company mbH, plan, rent and sell apartments as offices. The Action Group Support H48 (AUH48) criticizes this sharply and explains that a total of 60 residents are affected.

The back house, which is located in the former factory building, is incorrectly treated as a commercial room instead of living space, according to AuH48. The activist inside insists that it is living space and no offices. They see the situation on the housing market as alarming and describe the current situation as the largest rent crisis since World War II. The occupiers come directly from the neighborhood and emphasize their solidarity with the neighbor.

The occupation should not only indicate the impending displacement of the residents, but also to the problem of increasing rents and hip start-ups that destroy the social structure in the neighborhood. The AUH48 collective calls for a rental cover and long -term socialization of the apartments. They fear that the housing companies will only sell the problems to other investor -reversing and thereby will result in higher risks.

The occupation of Hermannstrasse 48 is not the first sign of resistance to repression in this area. More than 140 tenants have come together to form a Mietshäuser syndicate to prevent the sale of the residential complex. The Neukölln district has exercised the municipal right of first refusal to support the residents. However, this plan was actually abolished by the Federal Administrative Court in November 2021. The district then withdrew the pre -purchase notice due to legal and financial risks.

The activists in the occupied apartment hope that the owner enters negotiations with them and recognizes the line -up. Until then, they make it clear that they not only live here, but also fight. A clearance by the Berlin police has not yet been carried out until Sunday evening.

The occupation of Hermannstrasse 48 is another example of the continued fight against repression in Berlin and the growing protest movement for affordable living space. With actions like this, the activists want to draw attention to the precarious living situation and stand up for a fairer housing policy.
