Sertürnerstraße

The Initiative to Prevent the Destruction of Living Space (Wohnraumrettungsinitiative, or WRI) was founded in Münster. Its main focus was on the dire housing situation at the time, and the squatting campaign on 26 January 1980 was well organised: between 600 and 700 people occupied several houses in Sertürnerstraße.
