Mehringhof
Mehringhof is a socialized building complex in Kreuzberg, Berlin, designed as a center for alternative activities. As of 1991, it hosted 38 projects, including a theater, an electronics collective (Wuseltronick), a printing collective, and a school for adults.[1]
Administration
[edit]In 1978, anonymous benefactors donated DM 2 million to purchase the Mehringhof factory complex in Kreuzberg to build a center for alternative activities. Mehringhof incorporated as a limited liability GmbH without named owners and was governed by an assembly of tenants who paid maintenance rent. This group decided on new tenants, changes in rent, and handling maintenance.[1]
