Tommy Weisbecker Haus

The Tommy Weisbecker Haus occupies a residential building on Potsdamer Strasse, featuring large murals painted in 1989 that cover its exterior walls.

Established in 1973 through occupation by young activists, the building was named after Thomas Weisbecker, who died during a police encounter in 1972.

The ground floor houses Café Linie 1, a social center that organizes community gatherings, political discussions, and cultural events for neighborhood residents.

The building provides housing for 40 permanent residents and maintains four rooms specifically reserved for young people experiencing homelessness.

In 2013, the cooperative secured a 30-year lease extension, marking four decades of continuous operation as a self-managed social housing project.
