The former Kunsthaus Tacheles (Art House Tacheles) in Berlin, Germany, was a large art center and squatters’ building located in the Mitte district. The building sat in a “no man’s land” near the Berlin Wall during the communist era and was taken over by artists after the wall fell in November 1989. It served as a hub for studios, workshops, a nightclub, and a cinema, with its walls covered in extensive graffiti and street art. The art center was eventually evicted and closed in 2013, though the building itself remains a landmark of Berlin’s post-Wall art scene.
The Story of Kunsthaus Tacheles is an homage of sorts, with a documentary trailer that includes brief interviews with some of the artistic squatters.
