A long-running community centre in Berlin-Pankow has finally secured its future. Senior activists at Stille Straße 10 reached a deal with local authorities after years of uncertainty. The agreement ensures the villa will remain open under new management.
The building first made headlines in summer 2012 when elderly squatters occupied it for 112 days. Their protest aimed to stop the facility from closing. For years since, its future hung in the balance due to short-term operational agreements.
The deal removes the annual uncertainty that once surrounded the centre. The Wohnungslosenparlament will now manage the facility, ensuring its services continue. Local seniors and activists have succeeded in preserving a space they fought to keep open for over a decade.
