Germany: An unsere Freund*innen in der R94 // To our friends in R94 GE/EN

To our friends in R94

This is our first summer without the Dorfi. Our first summer without you as neighbors. Sure, not everything was easy, but it doesn’t have to be, we have many great memories! Be it in a bathrobe on Dorfplatz to come over to you to shower, a water fight in the summer or just meet for a beer on our self-built benches, which the cops have stolen us again and again, but which were also welded again and again to the road.

Just in the last few days we noticed again how shitty it is not to live next to you on the corner. It hurts to not be able to support you from our house. While the fucking cops besiege our street, our neighborhood as if it were their territory. At the same moment we all had a big smile on our face as you instead of reacting just acted and the pigs were standing there completely surprised and the street has burned again so right!

We had great years together! And they are not over yet! We still have a lot of potential and energy to get the neighborhood back. We have seen in the last days how many people don’t want to live in a chic bourgy neighborhood with overpriced rents and a constant presence of cops. We have seen how many people on the street have the potential to attack this fucked up system and we have also seen that the cops are afraid of exactly that. This is shown by the fact that because of ten people who make a fire on the Rigaer at night, five cars full of robocops come. It also shows in the excessive repression they put on the day. They think they can break us, but they don’t realize that they are sowing the seeds that will turn us into insurgents.

We would like to call on everyone to support the Rigaer94 with all means, even now that supposed calm has returned. After all the years of direct neighborhood, the R94 is especially close to our hearts. As far as we know, the Rigaer94 is with us the only confessed and acting anarchist house in Berlin and it should be defended to the end.

We wish you a bit of peace and a lot of strength after the stressful days.

Solidarity greetings and kisses.
see you soon, your Liebig34 Continue reading “Germany: An unsere Freund*innen in der R94 // To our friends in R94 GE/EN” →

Berlin: Glass breakage at banks and supermarkets – solidarity with Rigaer 94

Posted on 2021/06/21 - 2021/06/21 by darknights

We look back on turbulent days full of fear and anger, but also hope and solidarity in relation to Rigaer 94. The escalation around the “fire inspection” is only the visible tip of the iceberg in the struggle for living space. For eviction and displacement take place every day, but usually without attracting public attention. They are tragedies that lead to homelessness, isolation, lack of dignity and, in extreme cases, can even be fatal. So recently happened on 31 May in Kreuzberg as the 67-year-old musician Peter Hollinger, because of his impending eviction after 40 years in the apartment, took his own life.

In deep solidarity with the resistant residents of Rigaer 94 and all those who do not give up the struggle against the city of the rich, we attacked symbols of capitalist rule at Antonplatz in Berlin-Weißensee during the night. It has caught a savings bank, a Targobank, a Volksbank, LBS, Postfinance and two supermarkets. Meanwhile, the street was blocked with burning garbage cans. On a wall in the square we left our message: “R94 remains – Peter R.I.P.”

Leipzig: For the uprising, For Rigaer94 – fire at house of police and prosecutor’s office

Posted on 2021/06/18 by darknights

In our thoughts we were with the brave fighters of the autonomous zone Rigaer Straße when we set a fire at the Haus des Jugendrechts (House of Juvenile Justice, an institution where representatives of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the police, the judicial assistance to youth and the City work together to repress and prevent “juvenile delinquency”) last night. Our solidarity will always be with the people who do not give up without a fight. Red Zones take whole neighborhoods under captivity and are one of the most effective means of counterinsurgency. The House of Juvenile Justice in Reudnitz, Leipzig is also an actor for the pacification of rebellious individuals, especially “juvenile intensive offenders” like us. In here, cops and prosecutors work hand in hand. That’s why we thought it was a good sign of solidarity to set fire to several tires and the door in front of the House of Juvenile Justice.

The House of Juvenile Justice has been hit several times in recent years. Whoever writes police and public prosecutor’s office big on the front door, will be attacked!

Much strength to Berlin for the coming days! Do not let the pigs rest!

Since yesterday morning, our comrades of Rigaer94 in Berlin are under attack and they are resisting against german police in order to protect their house and their struggle.

As Prosfygika (Refugees) being under a constant threat of state repression and exploitation we consider as our minimum political duty to stand in solidarity with our comrades who are fighting against the modern Freikorps.

Rigaer94: Our statement on the current situation 16 Jun 2021 (Berlin,Germany)

Rigaer94: Our statement on the current situation

Today, on the evening of June 16, we look back on a militant day and a temporary autonomous zone and look forward with a clenched fist. Yes, we will remember the barricades in Rigaer Straße and their collective defense for a long time with a big smile on our faces. Step by step, the Senate and the owners are burning their fingers at the attempted destruction of our home.

After the street, there are now problems on the legal level. A higher administrative court has considerably complicated the starting position for those responsible at the Senate and the letterbox company for the attack on our house. The latter, represented by Bernau, Luschnat and von Arentin, was forbidden to enter our premises at all. Moreover, the cops are to be given access only to the stairwell, attic, courtyard, etc., but not to the private apartments.

At this moment, the expert, who is now declared to be responsible, is told by our lawyers that he can inspect the fire protection in our house without any danger to his health and can come in and out without any problems. Of course, without even a cop, as we have already declared in January 2021. And we keep our word. That should have become more than clear again today. Completely in contrast to the word of numerous politicians*innen, whether in the district or senate, that of the cops or even a windy letter box company. Some of them still dare to claim that it is not about an eviction of Rigaer94.

In this context, we would like to point out that we have already carried out several fire safety assessments since November 2020 and have remedied deficiencies on our own. It is up to the Senate and a letterbox company not to have accepted this and thus to have gradually unmasked their pretextual argument that it is only about the safety of the residents of Rigaer94 and their neighbors.

So, if the politicians decide to storm the building, they will go the way we already predicted. In this case, we will defend ourselves. Against the cops destroying everything in order to be able to declare our house “uninhabitable” as a result. Against the fact that our beloved place and its inherent ideas of collectivity, mutual aid, solidarity and self-determination are to be destroyed.

Today we have shown to all those who doubted it that we are not only ready but also able to intensify the conflict with the state and its henchmen. We met them at a time when they did not expect it and for which they were certainly not prepared. We thank all the people, neighbors and friends who showed solidarity and we are looking forward to the coming hours.

Your Rigaer94
