reonce occupied the house and symbol of the scene on the left, “Liebig 34” in Berlin-Friedrichshain, it is now empty. More than 50 people who had been in the building since the eviction began early Friday were taken outside, a police spokesman said. This was largely peaceful, and only a few held out. An appraiser will now examine the structure of the building before the home can be turned over to the bailiff and owner.
Shortly after 7 a.m., during the protest of hundreds in the street, emergency services had managed to access the barricaded building. Inside, officials said they encountered other obstacles such as concrete elements, boards and metal parts. A steel door opened.
“Liebig 34” is considered one of the last symbolic projects of the radical left scene in the capital. According to police, around 1,500 officers from eight federal states were on duty around Liebigstrasse on Friday.
In some cases, police officers were massively attacked
The area was largely cordoned off. The protesters largely dispersed over the course of the morning. Police tweeted that police officers had been massively attacked in adjacent streets.
According to its own information, the authority provides administrative assistance with the delivery of the house ordered by the court. The bailiff wanted to turn over the cleared house to the owner. Two years ago, a ten-year commercial lease expired for the “Liebig 34” neighborhood association, which calls itself “anarcha-queer-feminist.”
In a lengthy legal dispute, the court granted the owner the right to leave the house. A rally was announced in Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg on Friday evening at 9pm.
