Berlin (dpa / bb) - The left-wing radical scene in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is mobilizing against further measures by the Senate and the owner of the partially occupied house on Rigaer Strasse.
«Defend Rigaer 94.
From hibernation to escalation », it says on posters that hang all over the neighborhood.
Above it is an old saying of the left movement, which can also be found above the entrance to the «Rigaer 94»: «Our passion for freedom is stronger than any authority.»
On Twitter, supporters are calling for posters to be picked up and hung up.
"The city has many walls and facades that are just waiting for them."
The owner of the house, which has been contested for many years, has announced an investigation by a fire protection expert for March 11th and 12th.
It's about escape routes, wall breakthroughs, power lines laid by laypeople or barriers in stairwells.
The residents do not want to let in representatives of the owner or an independent expert and announced resistance.
The district had asked the owner to remedy the deficiencies in fire protection.
Courts ruled that the police were responsible for protecting the owner against attacks by residents in this case.
Interior Senator Andreas Geisel (SPD) assured protection.

Now building city councilor Florian Schmidt (Greens) is still trying to circumvent the inspection of all apartments required by the owner and appraiser - apparently to reassure the residents.
That is not necessary for such an expert opinion, he argues.
The police can therefore also be left out.
Interior Senator Geisel wants the Senate to issue an instruction to the district on Tuesday (today).
According to this, the district must oblige the residents to enable the fire protection investigation not only in the stairwell, but also in the apartments.
The «Rigaer 94» is one of the last symbols of the left-wing extremist scene in the capital.
There are repeated outbreaks of violence and attacks on police officers in the street.
