Lux & Konsorten – Neue Mitte Altona
Hamburg, Germany 01.09.2012
Beteiligung war gestern – der Zaun muß weg
Altonas Neue Mitte, ein Stadtteil für alle?
Lux & Konsorten, a local action group of residents and small business holders, took out a street party to demonstrate the negative effects of real estate gambling at the areal of “Neue Mitte Altona”. The “Masterplan” to rebuild the area, is feared to bring unaffordable rents and lease for local population and business. Small business already in the area will be driven out and the neighborhood fears rising rents and gentrification. As the area was blocked off and protected by the police and private security, the party had to be held directly on the street. At the end of the day, by mysterical intervention, a door opened, which enabled people to enter the areal.

As I have a policy of supporting local business I had breakfast here a few times a week.
I was late for breakfast yesterday but I decided to drop in for a cup of coffee and a scone at about 2pm only to be told by the owner that it was her last day in business. This type of story is being repeated all over the country with greater frequency as time passes.
