About this project

Let us make the summer-work-project possible together! In summer 2015 we want to transform the Rote Flora into a big summer-work-project with 50 journeymen and craftspeople – for this we need your help!
The Flora has been squatted for 25 years and has been used intensively in this time by many people. After the squatting a lot was built up to create a usable centre out of the ruin which remained after the nearly-complete-demolition for the 'Phantom of the opera'. Fire precautions, a heater, the skatebowl behind the house, the Archiv der Sozialen Bewegungen, and the new building of the roof after the fire in 1995 are just some examples of bigger construction activities. After several thousand events and meetings in the last 25 years it is the time to make the building of the Flora fit for the next decades.
In summer we will realize the following construction phases:
• the renewal of the annex at the terrace
• the remediation of the canopy/balcony
• a remediation of the roof fittings
• facade remediation
Are you still planning or are you already building up? Actually already since october 2013 there are reconstructions: a new central cafe- and pub-room, a new kitchen, new toilets, a shower, a new grouproom, just to mention some of the work, which are near completion. An additional entrance with staircase will allow the use of many rooms without the need of opening the whole house. At the same time it's planned to be barrier-free, so that on the ground-floor people with disabilities can also get around without problems.
It is our aim that the Rote Flora stays squatted, irreconcilably and can still be a base of political intervention in 25 years. It shall also in 25 years be an important place for the left movement. For the future our wishes are for even more diverse possible uses and even more people, who help to form it and who feel comfortable in the Rote Flora. We not only want to obtain the substance of the already 125 year old building, but make the Rote Flora even more open, alive and beautiful through building alterations.
The financing of the building lot constitutes a big challenge. Even though all involved work unpaid, especially the building material plus the food for all craftspeople and helpers will cost lots of money.
25 years of the Rote Flora are not enough – let us make the summer-work-project possible together with your donations!
You can already participate at the building lot, every saturday/sunday from 1 pm.
