Gefühl und Härte(1984)

In the spring of 1981, 28 young men and women, between 20 and 25 years old, occupied a house in Winterfeldtstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg. Until the fall of 1981, they lived and worked there together: renovating the rooms, painting the facade, publishing a newspaper for the neighborhood, setting up an autonomous cultural center, and establishing a "parents' meeting" there for parents of squatters. Despite an intensive press campaign and ongoing public relations work, the house at Winterfeldtstraße 20/22 was evicted by the police on September 22, 1981. After the eviction, some squatters move in with their friends, others move into a squatted house on Potsdamer Strasse.
