Symbol of squatters - the abuse of Buddha
Kiefernstraße ( pronounced ['ki:fɐn'ʃtra:sə]) is a street in the Flingern-Süd district of Düsseldorf that became notorious in the 1980s for squatting. In the mid-1980s there were connections to the Baader–Meinhof Gang. Nowadays, the former squatters have regular leases. (Wikipedia)
Contrary to Wikipedia am not sure about the leases. Regular, what does that mean? This area looks like molotow cocktails, throwing stones at the police and the smell of dope is constantly in the air. But if you are on the preferable side of the extremist spectrum - everything is alright for the authorities. This is Germany 1984, äh, sorry, 2023.
