We have to digress some of the humanitarian aid: the timber market in Berlin is under threat. The last piece of alternative culture on the Spree houses many projects and clubs. Also us.
The alternative club and festival culture from which CADUS was born is close to our hearts.
Many bars, clubs and open spaces of all kinds are threatened in Berlin. The Holzmarkt has been on the collar for some time. First the project "Eckwerk" had to be stopped, now also the only freely accessible and a visit worthwhile piece of Spree shore in the middle of the city should be trimmed. Ban on bargaining after 9 pm and fencing threatens to kill the Holzmarkt.
In addition to many other projects and organizations, we have also found a home on the grounds of the Holzmarkt, not least with our Crisis Response Makerspace and our office.
We clearly stand for the preservation of alternative (club) culture in Berlin and elsewhere! The referendum "Spreeufer für alle!" shows that we are not alone.
That is why we support the call of the Holzmarkt from CADUS and we also hope for your signature.
CADUS supports – support Holzmarkt

“The red thread must become the red line again!”
On 27.05.25, we and eight other humanitarian aid organizations working in Gaza drew a "red line" in front of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin to demand compliance with international law. For us it is clear: the protection of civilians, medical personnel and humanitarian aid is non-negotiable! We document our translated speech at the rally here.
Complex crisis – simple answer: solidarity!
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy," said chainsaw-wielding multi-billionaire Elon Musk in a recent podcast. And he is right. But differently than he thinks.
Global Solidarity Now. Now more than ever!
In our areas of operation – Gaza, Ukraine, and other crisis regions – we witness every day just how urgently people rely on fast and flexible humanitarian response. Especially now, as humanitarian assistance comes under increasing global pressure, our work is more challenging and more vital than ever.
