Rettet Kunsthaus Tacheles ("Save Tacheles Art House")

8

This is a postcard-size flyer from 2012 advocating for the preservation of the Berlin art collective, Tacheles. The building, located in Berlin's central Mitte district, was originally built in the 1907 as a department store and was later owned Nazis in the 1930s. In the decades after WWII it housed offices of a labor union, a cinema, travel agency, and various other retailers and organizations, but fell into disrepair. A collective of underground artists reclaimed the building in the 1990s, occupying the building to prevent demolition and securing its status as a historic landmark. It was a notable hub of arts and culture in Berlin until its final demolition in September 2012.
