After the Berlin wall fell and residents fled the country, buildings that were once completely inhabited were left in various degrees of abandonment. Of course not everyone left. Many stayed behind and a few found accommodations in the newly abandoned buildings. Many West Berliners also flocked to the East in search of free rent and alternative lifestyle. Today, you can clearly see a few remaining squats and social collectives. Some have been removed and a few remain, seemingly stronger than ever.

Also, not all of the graffitied buildings are squats, some are self-organized cooperatives. Be aware: Taking pictures is not advised. While we went out recently and discreetly snapped a few, we would advise against taking photographs of these squats/collectives.
