Georg-von-Rauch-Haus, Alternative housing collective in Kreuzberg, Germany.
The Georg-von-Rauch-Haus occupies a former nurses' dormitory at Mariannenplatz, featuring multiple floors dedicated to communal living arrangements.
In December 1971, following a teach-in event and concert by Ton Steine Scherben, 300 people occupied this vacant building of the Bethanien hospital complex.
The building hosts regular gatherings, music performances, and community initiatives that reflect the alternative social values of its resident collective.
Approximately 40 residents manage the space through cooperative decision-making, maintaining the structure through benefit events and community support.
The building entered the Bremer Höhe cooperative in 2013, marking a shift from its original squatting status to a formalized housing arrangement.
