Tetterode

Tetterode hosts or has hosted a range of activities including an art gallery, arts and crafts workshops, a citizens advice centre, a clothes shop, the Eddie the Eagle museum, a gay and lesbian disco, a hairdresser, a kindergarten (called De Tettertjes), a stencil printers, a shoemaker and a theatre.

[1][6][3] The complex of four large buildings was left derelict in 1981, when Tetterode moved its headquarters to the Willem de Zwijgerlaan [nl].

Over winter, the buildings were very cold and had rats, so the squatters heated with gas canisters, built rooms and cleared out the old industrial machines.

[7][9] A nightclub began in the basement called Flux; by 1985 it had become De Trut (The Bitch), a gay and lesbian disco which took place every Sunday.

[13] Projects using the complex included an art gallery, the Eddie the Eagle museum, a hairdresser, a shoemaker, stencil printers and De Trut.
