Mehringhof

Mehringhof is a socialized building complex in Kreuzberg, Berlin, designed as a center for alternative activities.

[1] 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.
