This page features photos taken mostly at the RAW Gelände. The jumble of derelict buildings is one of the last subculture compounds in central Berlin. Founded in 1867 as a train repair station ('Reichsbahn-Ausbesserungs-Werk', aka RAW), it remained in operation until 1994. Since 1999 the graffiti-slathered grounds have been a thriving offbeat sociocultural centre for creatives of all stripes. It also harbours clubs, bars, an indoor skate park, a swimming pool club, a bunker-turned-climbing-wall and a Sunday flea market.

The following section features photos taken recently at the Prinzessinnengarten Kollektiv in Neukölln. The collective engages in the cultural programmes of the Neukölln neighborhood and advocates for the protection of the environment and nature. It offers participatory workshops on ecological do-it-yourself topics and has a garden café and a farm shop, as well as a restaurant.
