Den Bosch: Knoflook threatened with eviction

Knoflook has been located on the Havendijk in Den Bosch for almost 20 years. The building was purchased in 2001 by project developer Cornelis Huygens and was squatted in 2006 after years of vacancy and decay. Since then, Knoflook has provided space for residents, artists, starting bands and musicians, a vegan kitchen, a giveaway shop, information evenings, action groups and numerous youth initiatives.

Together we are the Knoflook!

The owner has filed a lawsuit against the residents for eviction, which would take place on December 4. An asbestos study was recently carried out. The owner now suddenly requests Knoflook and the residents to leave the building immediately and at impossibly short notice (before Tuesday, November 11). This is even before the court case. The Knoflook has started a campaign for the preservation of a free space in Den Bosch and against vacancy.

We claim our place in the city. Knoflook remains! [Read More]

Den Bosch: Solidarity afternoon at Krankenhause

At the end of July, the former presbytery on Vlijmensweg in Den Bosch was squatted.

On Tuesday, August 9, we are organizing an afternoon where we would like to provide information about the pros and cons of squatting, among other things. Our goal is to bring officials and young people closer together. It’s well known there is a high housing shortage, also in Den Bosch.

We would like to be of social interest and therefore invite media, officials and residents to be present at this solidarity afternoon at Vlijmenseweg 50, in Den Bosch. You are welcome from 14.00 and the event will last until approximately 18.00. [Read More]
