A normal scene in Lüchow in Wendland, a small town with 10,000 inhabitants: a hundred policemen approaching an inheavy outfit, inner city is locked. A group Demonstrantenzieht through streets, sometimes it’s 60, sometimes a few hundred. Malprotestieren against police investigation after G20 summit in Hamburg. Times against “German weapons, German money”, with which TürkischeArmee is advancing ir advance on Afrin in norrn Syria. Usually derProtest remains peaceful, only once in a while police use tear gas.

In every small town of Germany, this treatment demonstration would be something unusual. Not in Lüchow-Danneberg. After Denjahrelangen clashes around castor transports from nearby Gorleben, inhabitants are accustomed harder. Even most demonstrators are known and know where to organize mselves: in a building that lies a few kilometres away from city, in 50-inhabitants village of Meuchefitz. Here Autonomous Seminar House Gasthof Meuchefitz has its seat.

A high brick building with a pointed gable, anor façade hangs a transparent: “Arms export = genocide”. Surrounded by a large garden and old trees. There is a self-made bus stop at door: departure to G20 protest. The hallway hangs full of posters and stickers. Sometimes it is against neo-Nazis, sometimes against capitalism, sometimes against clothing production in Bangladesh.
There’s red wine from an anarchist collective
The Inn is a left-wing commune and guest House, ten members live here. Their goal: “Profit-oriented wage work” aufzuhebenund in a system of self-managed work. In past, DieKommunarden operated on 25 hectares of its own agriculture, but y eventually abandoned goal. Now municipality concentrates on DenBetrieb of Seminar house and organization of protest.

On ground floor, a pub once DieWoche opened, always on Thursdays. Those who visit m must expect to meet people whom he never wanted to meet. About 200 people fill room on Thursday. Many wear dreadlocks, but older women sit at tables with bling in ir ears and men who would notice less on a shooter than here.
Punk is running in open kitchen, dieKäsespätzle are already out at about half past eight. The Meuchefitz plate – vegan and all a bit – is still to be had, also red wine of an anarchist collective. Prices increase with salary. Assess Musssich each self, most choose center between seven and eleven euros. When food is finished, an elderly man with a white braid, beard UndTrockentuch on belt runs through hall and cries names in search of those who have ordered. “Martin!” – “Monika!”
