Schreiner47 was initially occupied on 29 December 1989 by a dozen people who knew each other from the non-conformist opposition movement in the GDR or were active in the Kirche von Unten, among others. One of them was Silvio Meier, who was murdered by neo-Nazis at the nearby underground station in November 1992. Since then, there have been annual anti-fascist demonstrations in his memory. In the ‘Villa Felix’, as the house was later called, there is, among other things, self-managed Clubrooms. Since 2003, the Schreiner has been owned by a co-operative and thus successfully taken off the rental market. It makes sense to squat!
