The fforst History

Once upon a time there was an old panel flat building. Build within the glorious GDR times it started to suffer from a tenant shrinkage after the Fall of the Wall. More and more tenants either moved away or simply died. Lots of flats within the building started to suffer from emptiness.

Somewhere around the millenium years the WoWi decided to take that building down. In this time you could get money for demolishing places for living, but a seminar with https://www.anschlaege.de/ at Europa University Viadrina wanted to do something against it.

2006 some brave and motivated Viadrina students in this seminar decided to save that sad building and turn it into a lively place for students from all over the world. These pioneers managed to convince the WoWi to quit their plans of demolition. A nice WoWi staff member handed those pioneers the keys for the house and a contract was signed between these parties.
