Bar and living room in collective self-management.

In 1977, Café Cralle was founded by a women-collective, based on the women’s movement at that time. Today, the collective is not just open to women, but as well to all FLINTA* identities. (FLINTA=german for Frauen (women), Lesben (Lesbians), Inter-, Non-Binary-, Trans-, Agender-People).

The Drugstore is the oldest self-organized youth center in Berlin. It was founded in 1972. It is not a club, event gastronomy, or any other service company. The employees are organized in a collective on a voluntary basis.

Since 01.01.2019 in exile, fighting for a new space.

Ort

The Potse is a self-organized youth center. Here, resistant and punky youth culture meets anti-fascist political work.

Potse had to leave their space in Potsdamer Straße 180 in 2021 and is now in Zollgarage, Columbiadamm 10.

No cops, no nazis, no racists, no sexists, no trans-/homophobes.

trying to become a safer / braver space

non-commercial space with a squatter history

Schokoladen e.V. is one of the last oasis in a district that is characterized by increasingly commercial structures. Artists and small producers have set up and maintained a self-managed art and culture project in the premises they rent.

The structure of the building still reflects the initial idea of the founders: the combination of art and life.

The Syndikat collective pub was founded in 1985, by local residents. It has operated as a collective ever since. The collectivists changed, but the idea and the pub remained as they were. From the very beginning, it was all about self-determined living and working. The pub is an open space for all emancipatory people, whether from Neukölln or elsewhere. Nazis, racists, sexists and the like were and are not tolerated.

We consider „collectively organized“ as a way to create our daily work – daily cleaning, preparing the ‚Hermelin’, doing night shifts – as equal among the members as possible. By deciding every issue on consensus, we aim to establish a different life beyond common forms of work.
Moreover we want to facilitate that idea among our guests and create a space where you can feel well without any kind of discrimination. We don`t accept racist, antisemitic, sexist or homophobic slogans or treatments. To make a move on someone who doesn`t agree is taboo: No means no! If anything attracts your attention or if you are concerned yourself: contact the barkeepers, who will support you!
We consider ourselves as part of a leftist, unparliamentary infrastructure and donate our tip to emancipatory projects.
