The Autonomous Centre Köln (AZ Köln) has been founded three years ago with a squatting action of an empty building in Köln-Kalk. Since then it has been shaped by a huge variety of people into a self-organized and self-determined space for emancipatory politics, for non-commercial art and culture. In the meantime a use contract has been eked out in confrontations with the cities authorities. This contract has now been cancelled and is going to end on the 30th of June 2013. According to the plans of the local ruling parties, here especially on pressure of the social democrats (SPD), the building shall be evicted by police and a park ( or better a green stripe ) shall be established on top of its debris. This has to be resisted and averted.

squat_logo

On 2nd March 2012 we, a group of leftist people, squatted an abandoned building at Deutz-Mülheimer-Straße, near the old industrial complex of the KHD-Group in Cologne.

We want to develop a collective here. The squat is a place for both, working and living beside the capitalistic enforcement. We want to live with each other without hierarchically structured regulation.

New squatted center in Cologne

  New squatted center in Cologne

 

Today on Friday, the 25th February at 3 pm. about 50 people squatted an empty building in Cologne. The House, located in the “Venloer Strasse” is about 3 years empty and is on the other side of the city garden. The squatters are supporters of a group for a autonomous centre in Cologne.

Like in earlier squat actions like “Eichamt” in 1998 or the “Luxemburger Strasse” in 1999 the aim is to build a self organized cultural center, independent from the city or the state. The city council destroyed all attempts with evictions.

With the Slogan “Cologne – you won’t get us of” there will be concerts, discos and political actions in the new squat. Already now there is a big cultural program.

If you have questions – please feel free to call

New squat in Cologne

By: liberation - December 18th, 1999  Filed under: News

 SPEICHERNSTRASSE Cologne IS SQUATTED

 

The following text is copied from a flyer:

Today, 8.november 1997 SPICHERNSTRASSE 25 (close to U-bahn Hans-boeckler-str. in the Stadtgarten) SQUATTED

 

 

 We give a home to our future

Everybody welcome!

 

Cologne is expecting the oppening of new squatts! Why?

The official numbers of homelessnes are 8000 and people triyng to find a flat or another place to live are estimated at around 40000 in Cologne! This are just the official figures, hence the real figures are probably much higher! The only answers to these problems are nightshelters like “annostrasse” ore council flats thhat do not really earn the name “flat”. Here people are put in Ghettolike anonymus estates. This results into total lonelyless. But there is buildings, but after they have been empty for years and are rebuild, the rents are so high, that nowone can actually pay for them! We are not taking this any longer! We want to live in communities were we can decide for ourselfs!

FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE TODAY, 8.11.1997 SQUATTED THE SPICHERSTR.25

But if we stay allone, we will never win!!!

NB: There are still lots of empty houses. Lets decide over our own lives and show the capitalists that they will never own us!

 

 

OWNERSHIP IS THEFT!!!!

On Monday we receivede the message, that Spichernstrasse is still sqautted! On saturday 15.11.1997 thhere will be a neighbourhood party inthe evening with Live music!

IF THERE IS AN EVICTION, THERE WILL BE A DEMONSTRATION ON THE SAME DAY AT 6pm at RUDOLFPLATZ!
