K20 Projekthaus

A Utopian Space | Political Platform For Action

Vegan

Ecological

Hierarchy critical

People should be and become empowered to lead a self-determined life. People should be able to overcome in their personal everyday life and on a structural level for example dependency on wage labor and tenancy. In the sense of a critique of hierarchy/dominion, hierarchies between human and non-human living beings should also be regarded as critical and action should be taken accordingly against these hierarchies.

exchange logic free

With regard to a solidary change, money should not represent a separating means and should not divide people into owner and dispossessed. Here, freedom from the logic of exchange means that giving and taking should be decoupled from each other and that people should contribute voluntarily instead of exchanging goods and services. No person should be required to give something in return in order to be allowed to stay here. In view of a solidary and hierarchy-critical togetherness, a participation of as many people as possible on site is desired and necessary, however, in order, for example, not to permanently shift repro work (e.g. cooking, maintenance of the building) to a few people. So that the possibility is open for all to participate in projects, seminars and actions, they are arranged here by different people free from trade logic.

drug-free

No drugs are to be consumed on the K20 site (coffee, tea, cacao, sugar or similar are not included, alcohol and tobacco are).

This will create a different lived experience so that people do not have to be confronted with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. At the same time, however, people with drug addictions or even medically recommended drug use should not be excluded from being in K20. The claim to conscious drug use in the sense of "Do I really need this now?" and to be considerate of people who do not want to be confronted with the behavior of people under the influence of drugs is, however, important when entering the K20!

What is the K20?

A self-organized, open space for living in an utopia, in Salzderhelden

In this utopian experimental space, a new togetherness is shaped in solidarity and other self-evident things are lived. People live here vegan and drug-free and have the claim to organize a place free of exchange logic together. This means that all people are welcome here, regardless of how much they can afford or contribute financially. Beyond K20, other exchange-logic-free, hierarchy-critical spaces have emerged in Salzderhelden. People are trying to orient this place to the idea of sufficiency and are constantly asking themselves the question: what do we really need? By means of workshops, the joint construction of spaces of lived utopia and other forms of political action, inner and outer social-ecological change are to be linked and directly implemented in an activist way. In doing so, it is important for people here to share these spaces and skills and to welcome people who join as openly as possible.

Participate

As an open space, the K20 is basically open for everyone to work on political projects. We are also happy about people who want to participate in the house itself (building, furnishing, maintenance). In Salzderhelden there is also the possibility to participate in existing projects or projects under construction! You can find more information here:

Subject "donation" or "donation + project name"

He who has, gives - so we also try to break new ground economically, and finance the various structures largely through donations, personal loans and where possible exchange logic free.

If you are looking for a sustainable investment, we can also integrate larger amounts well if necessary. Then it is best to contact us and see individually what is practical.

THE GUARDIAN CIRCLE

We try to finance a large part of the collective structures in Salzderhelden through regular donations. As part of the so-called "Hüter*innenkreis" (circle of guardians) people here on site, but also in solidarity from afar, transfer a monthly permanent amount between 3€ and 300€.

For us, such regular donations give an important planning security, so even small amounts per month are very helpful. If you want to become part of the circle, you can simply set up a standing order to our account. Thank you!
