A fire broke out in front of the house at Liebigstrasse 34 on Wednesday night. Police and firefighters headed into the district with a large contingent. The fire threatened to spread to the house that had been vacated less than two weeks ago. As photos from the nighttime show show, it was mostly bulky debris that workers had removed from the house in recent days that burned. The flames also spread to the ground floor.



According to information from the Berliner Morgenpost, the police assume arson. Several masked people were seen in the home before the fire. The private security service later withdrew, he said at night. After the fire, between 50 and 70 people gathered at the scene.



A photo circulating on the Internet of the fire indicates that the fire was likely set by left-wing extremists. Because the photo had the slogan: “Anger and the flame of repression burns in the town square from 9:00 pm.” The photo and text were posted on a far-left account.



The fire department was able to quickly control the flames, the fire has now been extinguished. Emergency services examined the damage inside the building.

In recent days there were discussions in front of the house on Liebigstrasse 34. Employees of a security company had a confrontation with suspected left-wing extremists.

The police had evacuated the house, which had been inhabited for decades by a queer feminist project and left-wing extremists, on the basis of a court order. On the day of the evacuation and the following weekend, more than 1,000 police officers had to protect the Friedrichshain neighborhood from the riots. However, several cars were burned in the neighborhood.
