79\u00a0Kastanienallee was I think thoroughly restored in 2008. The fantastic decoration on\u00a0 this facade is presumably one of a number in the area that were protected, and I suspect dates from around 1900, though I’ve not been able to find anything more about it. Most of the original buildings on the street I think date from around the 1880s. The small balconies with their colourful decorations appear to be a recent addition, a dded either postwar or in the recent renovation.\u00a0An archway leads through to DOCK 11 Studios, which since 1994 has hosted varying\u00a0dance, theatre, film, performance, literature, visual art and design events.<\/p>\n

Kastianienallee was home to many squats, with one of the best-known being a couple of doors down the street at 77. K77,\u00a0 one of the oldest buildings on the street from 1848 had stood empty for six years when activists\u00a0 dressed as doctors and nurses occupied occupied it on June 20, 1992. Like many buildings on the street there were actually three houses behind the facade separated by interior courtyards.<\/p>\n

There is a very well-known ‘Old CCCP’ bar in Berlin, not far from where I took this and two other pictures, but I’m fairly sure it isn’t this one, as it looks nothing like this and is not, like this, on a street corner.<\/p>\n

It was Clara Zetkin,\u00a0\u00a0who seconded the idea of an international day for women’s rights when it was proposed by another German socialist,\u00a0Luise Zietz at the\u00a01910\u00a0International Women’s Conference\u00a0before the Socialist\u00a0Second International\u00a0in\u00a0Copenhagen, and she chaired the\u00a01921 Second International Conference of Communist Women in Moscow which set\u00a0the date of the International Women\u2019s Day to March 8.<\/p>\n

This large squattted house, ‘Linie 206’ on the corner of Linienenstrasse and\u00a0Kleine Rosenthaler Str was clearly under attack. Occupied in 1990, the house was sold to several owners in the first decade of this century and there were a number of attempts to evict the occupants, with the house finally being cleared by police in May 2016.<\/p>\n
