Since Thursday morning, the Gaswerkareal is occupied in the city of Bern. "Busy and Busy" stands on a banner, several tents are standing on the barbed wire area and it is being built with impatience. A collective called Anstadt is installed here on Thursday night. The group wants to build a "utopian city without profit and without rent, but with a lot of creativity and freedom on the part of the buffoons."
As a result, the area is also designed: Particularly striking is that of one boat placed in the middle of the area. In addition, the skins were stretched, which protects them from the rain. According to the activists, in the city, "one for the other and the other" should be in the center
Soon open to interested
The occupants have also proposed concrete projects: a barter and a loan workshop ("So that everyone does not have to buy their own tools"), a sewing workshop and a café-bar. Anstadt is a meeting place to play, share, network and try. According to the collective, the place will soon be open to all who are interested.
The owner of the site is the Stadtberner Energieversorger ewb. This signaled the willingness to speak. "The conversation will take place," said Alexandra Jäggi of ewb. The collective has also agreed to speak.
The city of Bern plans to build the gas production complex. In a few years, there will be a lively neighborhood, including non-profit living spaces. Excavators should begin no earlier than 2021. Before that, among other things, people must give the go-ahead for the construction of the superstructure
City occupied with history
This n This is not the first time that Bern's gas zone has been home to alternative forms of housing. In the 1980s, the Zaffaraya community settled there. This emerged from the Bern alternative scene around the closure in 1982 of the Autonomous Youth Center "Zaff". In 1987, settlement of the cottage was authorized in a controversial police operation
Protesters and protesters then crossed the city for several days, occupied the streets and engaged in skirmishes with the police. Today, the colony is on a plot near the Neufeld highway.
