Don't wait till its too late - kopi weekend of protest
- English After German -
Køpi calls on its friends around the world to come to Berlin for a protest weekend on May 15 and 16, 2021. Køpiplatz (wagon castle) is facing the greatest risk of eviction so far - so we stand together to fight for our places and houses .
For more than 30 years, the Køpi, a self-organized project in the center of Berlin, has offered living space for people in Haus & Wagenburg & it is still a meeting point for collectives, events and creative energy. We do not give up our concept of life for the lustful fantasies of some real estate sharks!
The alleged owner of Køpi, Startezia GmbH, is only interested in the expensive marketing of the car park area after a dreamed-of lawsuit - just another example of how community houses and independent projects by anonymous mailbox companies are to be destroyed.
Køpiplatz is not alone: other Berlin projects such as the Potse youth center, the Rigaer 94 house project and the Mollies car park are also in direct danger. Last year, central left-wing locations such as Liebig 34, Syndikat, Meuterei, Diesel A, Sabot Garden and G17a were evacuated with martial, expensive bull terror. Greed has already gone too far, we cannot forget and we will not forgive. Køpiplatz is our home & we are here to stay!
Get active, big or small, in your city or community.
Be loud, get it dirty, be creative! Be Køpi!
SAVE THE DATES:
Bring your anger to Berlin! Block the streets! Stop the city!
15. Mai – Demo – 20:30 – Ort wird noch bekannt gegeben
16. Mai – Kundgebung – 13:00 – Køpi zwischen Schillingkreuzung & Adalbertstr
Wartet nicht, bis es zu spät ist! Die kapitalistische Übernahme muss aufhören!

Køpi calls for friends and allies from around the world to meet in Berlin on the 15th and 16th of May for a weekend of protest. As Køpiplatz (trailer park) faces the most serious eviction threat to date, Køpi stands united to fight for our homes and families.
Køpi has been a DIY project in the heart of Berlin offering living space for people in the house and trailer park for more than 30 years. It also continues to be a home for collectives, events, and creative energy since the day the first door was broken open. We will not give up our way of life for some state backed developers!
When the law wants to take our homes away, it’s time to break the law!
The alleged owner of Køpi, Startezia GmbH, is just another example of how our homes and autonomous communities are destroyed by anonymous postbox companies that care only about profit and not about people.
Køpiplatz does not face the threat of eviction alone. Other Berlin projects, Potse, Rigaer 94, and Queer Wagenplatz Mollies are also in immediate danger. In the last year alone, crucial left-wing places like Liebig 34, Syndikat, Meuterei, Diesel A, Sabot Garden and G17a have already been evicted.
This greed has already gone too far, we don’t forget and we won’t forgive!
Køpiplatz is our home and we are here to stay!
Take action, large or small in your city or town.
Make it loud, make it dirty, be creative! Just like Køpi!
