Protest movement and urban renewal in Kreuzberg SO 36
Rubble, reconstruction, demolition of old buildings, squatting, urban regeneration, gentrification, new forms of protest. Is everything ‘chic’ in Kreuzberg? It’s a matter of perspective, for the changes since 2002 have been striking: the consequences of neoliberal urban development policies, winners and losers, streams of tourists, event culture and outrage.

Our participatory permanent exhibition was conceived and realised between 2001 and 2003 by over 60 Kreuzberg residents from all walks of life. Just a decade later, Kreuzberg has been transformed and the FHXB Museum has expanded and revised the material accordingly, making it accessible in German and English. As a second step in renewing the exhibition, the Kreuzberg model is now being filled with new content and linked to current issues of ‘glocality’ – the impact of global processes at a local level.
