The roof of Plexiglas was half melted. On the floor there is a rooster upholstery and pallets under the ashen flakes. Red white reverent tape stretches around it. Note for a note on the doors of a colorful, painted flat building: “Building. There is no access. “
AJH is a small container design under the trees. It is also called a leaf rifle and is located on the edge of Bargtechide on a lively street. Initially built as housing for refugees, the building has been a home for self -leaded anti -fascist AJH since 2005, which has existed since 1984. He burned here two weeks ago. No one was injured.
At noon on June 17, on Tuesday, passers -by found fire in the fresh air. He broke out on the outer platform and spread to the roof of the container. The fire brigade was deployed with 50 forces that needed in general in the afternoon to extinguish the fire. They had to see the roof of the containers. Since then, the building should not be introduced.
The criminal police investigate in all directions
What caused fire is still unclear. No one was in the premises of those in the youth center. The fire brigade excluded the natural reason. The criminal police determines in all directions, says the basin.
Pete, 16 years old, pushes himself and his scooter on the edge of construction fences. He actively participates in AJH and leaves school, as in many other days, for the fact that they dangled, kickers, to the plenum. There are no social workers in AJH. Everything controls young people.
The oldest active is Arthur, 22 years old. He rolls up a basket that is transformed into a seat. Together they look at the charred external scene and drink a limousine. They are actually called in the same way and want to protect their personality.

Arthur was the first of active players at the place of fire. “I relaxed at home and smelled of smoke,” he says. He ran right away. Pete took the second place. Later they stood in the fifteenth place in front of the burning ajh. When the fire was under control, the head of the operations allowed them to maintain the system from the area for the curtains in the container. “I saw how the water is pumped up, and she ran everywhere, and I knew: this is shit!” Says Pete Ernst.
Filted water destroyed a lot, including lighting technology, mosa, training, cable, flyer, stickers – and, possibly, the archive. Documents from the 41 -year history of AJH, including old festival posters, plenary books and photographs, were currently in the attic of a former active person. “It dries,” says Arthur and shows a photograph on his smartphone. To what extent the archive material should be saved, is not yet predictable. In any case, young people had to cancel their annual summer festival in late July.
Right -Excremists and attack
The current fire in AJH was the most destructive, but not the first over the past few months. Already on January 1 of this year, he burned out in the open air, until May 26, 2024. In both cases, no one was indoors.
Fires line up in a line in a whole wave of vandalism, which began about a year and a half ago, Arthur and drinks appreciate. The windows were added at least four times, the fence was surrounded, and the container was greased. The police investigated a total of ten cases of damage to property unknown.
There are also some right extremist attacks. Finally, several large swastikas drawn by wall paint appeared in the building, appeared on the building. The pelvis is available. A few days later, “444” stood on the wall, a code that means “Germany of the Germans”. In February last year, about 15 right extremists besieged the center, abandoned atmospheres and attacked people. In some cases, state security responsible for political crimes, but not for the last fire.
“No one believes in chance,” says Arthur. But when he was asked who could be behind the fire two weeks ago, he is carefully answered. “There could be people who have nothing against AJH, made a stupid mistake and were connected,” says Pete. And then there is another answer that many people can hear: Faschos. “It’s hard for me to say this, because it is equally likely in both directions,” says drinks.
Currently one thing: the future of the autonomous youth center of acute on the verge. The expert opinion of the insurance company will show whether the building will belong to the city only in the coming weeks.
If it should be demolished, it looks bad. Because it is not allowed to rebuild on the site to create laws. Especially tragic: just a few weeks before the fire, the city was guaranteed by the youth center of 320,000 euros for the urgently necessary repair.
The city does not want to make another building available to the youth center. There is no suitable object, the mayor of Gabriela Hitfwi (non -partisan) writes when he is asked about the pelvis. In any case, the empty Villa Waker, who was busy with young people two years ago. In the short term, the city could provide young people with youth culture and rooms of the city youth center.
However, a specific solidarity for AJH comes from many other places. Autonomous centers in the vicinity, JUKI 42 in tennsburg and Inhaus in Bad Oldesloe, organize Soliparties so that AJH can pay expenses. Former active people come to the plenary supply or donate money. The banner in the city brought out a banner. An open letter requires support from the city. Fan -store FC St. Pauli sold an old T -shirt and sacrificed income. What Arthur and Pete want to say in the end: “That we cannot go down.”
