The AJZ KITA at night: graffiti facade, string lights above the entrance
★ Antifascist & DIY

More than a place.
A movement.

Self-organised since 1997. Stays that way.

Am Bleicherberg 3 · Ribnitz-Damgarten

Who we are

A house that belongs to us

Nobody runs the AJZ for us — we do everything ourselves: concerts, workshop, bar, rehearsal room, hackspace and garden. Decisions are made by consensus, every 2 weeks at the plenum. Grassroots, voluntary, from age 16.

01

Create free spaces

Self-determined space for youth culture.

02

Diversity & attitude

Clearly against racism, fascism and sexist violence.

03

Co-create

Get involved, start a project, and make decisions by consensus in the plenary session.

04

Volunteering

Young people take responsibility — hands-on.

The house

Looks like this. Feels better.
