Mottenburg Trailer (1985)
01 January 1985 Factual 7 mins
In January 1985, a group of young people occupied the vacant factory premises at Mottenburger Straße 10 in Ottensen. They were defending themselves against the redevelopment of the »demolished district«, which would drive the old tenants into the »new housing clinks«. The squatters started to renovate, cook together and organize punk concerts. After barely two weeks, they are evicted by the police and the owner, who wants to build subsidized apartments on the site and has the buildings made uninhabitable – all documented on video by the Medienpädagogik Zentrum Hamburg (MPZ).
