In the East Berlin district of Neukölln, one of the poorest districts in the city, lies the Radikal Queer Wagenplatz Kanal, one of the city’s oldest and only refugee-led, queer and predominantly people of colour (POC) wagenplatz.
For those not familiar with the concept, a wagenplatz is a space where people who share common values and ideals create a living community and where wheeled dwellings, such as wagons, provide living accommodation. They vary in size and have the added appeal that you can always join or leave, provided that you can wheel yourself in or out.
