Rioting in Berlin Kreuzberg, May 01, 1987

Kreuzberg stages an alternative celebration marking International Workers’ Day on 1 May 1987. What begins as a peaceful event during the day descends into rioting that night. A supermarket burns to the ground, whole streets are set on fire and 250 police officers are injured. The next morning, parts of Kreuzberg lie almost in ruins. It is the start of a cycle that will see the district erupt into violence on 1 May for many years to come.

Maybe you have to say that Kreuzberg was the poorest quarter in west berlin next to the berlin wall. Before the fall of the iron certain, nobody cared about the people there. It was a mixture of poor working class, left wing activists, artisians, and migrands. police always passed threw in 2+ riot busses and maked a lot of trouble...
