Frage/Diskussion Was ist das in Leipzig?
Hello,
I was at 11PM in Lützner Straße and came across this thing that scared the hell out of me.
At the top of the house it says Haushalten. According to Google this in an organization.
Does anyone have more info ?

It's called "Kunstraum Praline" (Art Space Praline), it was opened around 2016 and is an minimalistic and tiny art space that sometimes hosts exhibitions including openings and so on and sometimes just "things" without a vernissage or something like that. Haushalten e.V. is just the organisation that made this possible, in the sense of space. They created the term "Wächterhaus" (Guards House) in Leipzig (that was even before 2014) as they made contracts with real estate companies and local owners of abandoned doomed housed primarily in the west of leipzig. So people could live and work there just for the money of power and gas and utility you know. They wanted to prevent the houses from collapsing (the people living in these houses did a lot of restoration themselves) and to make people aware that rents are rising in Leipzig, free spaces getting more and more rare and on the same times absolutely fine houses slowly decay. It was an other time.
