The Battle for Ungdomshuset
The Defense of a Squatted Social Center and the Strategy of Autonomy

Adventure History Rolling Thunder

Ungdomshuset was a four-story autonomous social center located in the
Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen. A stronghold of the workers’
movement since the end of the 19th century, it had served the community as
a bastion of international squatting networks since the beginning of the
1980s. Twelve years ago today, on March 1, 2007, it was evicted and
destroyed in one of the biggest police operations in Danish history. In
response, supporters initiated some of the most intense rioting that
Denmark had seen in generations. After a week of street fighting and a
year of weekly demonstrations, the Danish government was forced to let the
movement take possession of a new building. This stands as a major
victory, illustrating the power that autonomous social movements can wield
by means of uncompromising direct action.
