Reitschule

The Reitschule is a self-managed social centre in Bern, Switzerland. The former riding school was first squatted in the early 1980s and has been evicted and resquatted several times.[1] It hosts a restaurant and organizes concerts, exhibitions and club nights.[2] In 2010, voters rejected for the fifth time a proposal to sell off the Reitschule and stop its activities.[3]
