This is the story of the Gängeviertel – a historic, raw network of alleys that has survived cholera, bombs, and the wrecking balls of greedy developers. Join an architectural historian and a local activist through a quarter that was occupied by artists in 2009 and transformed into a radical experiment in collective life. Discover hidden courtyards, non-commercial bars, and the ongoing struggle for the soul of the city.
