Liebig34 is lived queer-feminist resistance. Liebig34 is more than a house. Liebig34 is a place of the anarcha-queer-feminist militant movement. Although it is a safer space, it is under attack from the outside. Capital interest, backed up by the senate and cops want to see it gone. With daily cop-presence and the eviction title already spoken, the fight for Liebig34 is since a couple of months in it’s last stand. While queer, feminist and radical left mobilisation has been strong and taken a multitude of forms, from neighborhood walks to militant actions, the hope to defend Liebig34 is getting dimmer. The attempt to evict Liebig34 is getting closer. To elevate the level of pressure Liebig34 calls for a feminist action-week from the 7th to the 13th September. Liebig34 will fight until no one dares to touch it any more.

But Liebig34 is not the only project in Berlin that is under attack. Bar collectives, autonomous youth clubs and other house projects are under threat of eviction. The radical left in Berlin is about to loose a large portion of places that resist the hetero-patriarchal, racist and capitalist normality. As Interkiezionale these projects united to fight together against their displacement.

Our bar collectives, autonomous youth clubs and house projects are critical places of a movement that fights for and tries to live another Berlin – a Berlin which struggles for alternatives to the exploitation, oppression and violence that is part of the system of rent and ownership, in the work place, in care work, in house work, in state-run youth centres, in the educational system, in health care, in prisons and family relationships.

The specific fight for Liebig34 and the other projects threatened by eviction is part of a larger struggle. With the global regression into fascist and anti-feminist movements, fighting this fight is winning importance. As a radical left, as queers we have to defend the places that we have left, to continue fighting the larger fights.

This is why we are calling for an angry demonstration on the

12th of September.

We will meet in Wassertorplatz, Kreuzberg

at 8 pm.

Come angry. Come prepared. Let our anger be heard. Let it be shown. We will not be pushed around by the cops. Let us collectively fight for Liebig34 and against the city of the rich to show capital, state and cops that we will not be silently watching while they are erasing decades-long struggle against this system.

So that the struggle for a squatted house is not just about itself, we should embed it in a discourse about the occupation of a larger area, e.g. taking ground in a rebellious neighborhood. This discourse allready started and we want to continue this with regard to the defense of Liebig34.

The attempt to remove certain areas from the control of the german state is a rarity. What is practiced in Hambach forest is difficult to implement in urban areas. A rare attempt to use this method were the Barricade Days in Hamburg, November 1987. Perhaps more a tactical tool than an utopia, let us recapitulate this scenario.

As early as April 2004, an action took place in Hamburg as part of the fight for wagon places, reminiscent of the Barricade Days.

The history of Hamburgs Hafenstrasse is closely connected to the german Squatting scene and the 80’s.
The conflict has not only been a conflict between real estate brokers, Hamburg state government and local squatters. The Hafenstrasse became an example of symbolic policy and the conflict between society and state. Continue reading →

Liebig 34 is being threatend by eviction. When state, cops and the owner want to evict, they will only have a desaster on their hands. As an anarcha-queer-feminist selforganized house-project without cis-men, directly at the square „Dorfplatz“ in Friedrichshain, Liebig 34 is a place where resistive actions and collective moments are decided and organized. A place where self-organization becomes a dangerous word, where a project is becoming a starting point of struggles and not just a space of self-reference and alternative entertainment. The project itself has taken part in the planning of many of demonstrations, published numerous calls and texts and carried out various radical actions. But it is also a symbol of radicalization and empowerment for the antagonistic scene in Berlin and in Germany, as it shows how to fight various forms of resistance.

Liebig34 consists of a collective which is working with a focus to overcome more and more internalized structures of capitalism and patriarchy. In a world where patriarchy makes up one of the main pillars of the capitalist system, militant feminist groups and collectives, which make clear that the resistance and the fighting back is not a cis-men privilege, are more than necessary. In a patriarchal world, in which patriarchy and capitalism are intervoven, it is more than necessary to actually fight patrairchy and not have it be a sidenote in a text. Let us not be divided by oppression and let’s fight together in this for a liberated society.

Get creative, roam the night, show that we are serious when we say “the eviction will be a disaster.” From 7-13 September we want to set an example and plan feminist militant actions! If you are in Berlin, or if you want to visit, let us make the city unattractive for investors and capital. But let us show everywhere, in the cities and places you live. Getrification and Patriarchy doesn’t only destroy our utopia in Berlin, also everywhere we know the struggle. Let’s create thousands and thousands of rebellios areas and anarcha-queer-feminist squats. The Liebig should not only be remembered as a house, but as a symbol of offensive, danger and unforgiveness!

Join the fight and defend Liebig34! Feminist action week 07-13.09.20 in Berlin and everywhere – decentral and unpredictable.

More Information about infrastructure, program and events are following in the next days.
