Summary November 1989: As soon as the Berlin Wall fell, the battles over the future of the still divided city and the distribution of the newly created spaces and opportunities began. Vain provincial politicians, enterprising property developers and battle-hardened squatters from the West, but also freedom-seeking young techno pioneers from East and West. They are all trying to seize the moment and stake their claims between derelict walls, dilapidated old buildings and the abandoned industrial plants of a lost country. For the subculture, it is a brief summer of anarchy in which anything seems possible, in which utopia and chaos lie side by side. But the old power elites of West Berlin put an abrupt end to this in a major police operation. The dream is over.
