Ligsalz8

Go and look around the houses. To look around, that is: to close your eyes to the cracks, to let the street escape work in, to paint them, to change them, to improve them, to beautify them. After removing the dirt and private property, we design the differences.

One likes blue, another white. A third calls: only no wood. C. gets up early and then quietly disappears, another reads the newspaper for a long time. In the morning you often have the house to yourself, being alone is nice, being alone is stupid. Everyone likes tomatoes, but one does not. You make salad with ginger in it. S. has the loudest alarm clock. The biggest bed has A. One always cooks too much, someone always eats the rest. Together we are 438 years old. Together we are 6 years old.

Go look at the streets we live in, narrow your eyes, walk through the streets and say: they are ours. This is how they are and how they will be. So they will.
Walk down the street, dream consciously, don’t stumble. Yes, the house there, that’s it.
We live there.

Ligsalz8 is a residential project in Munich’s Westend that is self-governing as part of the apartment block syndicate. As such, we are part of the Munich network, the amalgamation of self-managed projects and businesses. After a renovation and construction phase, the house in Ligsalzstr. 8 fully inhabited since November 2008. The project offers all residents the attractive opportunity to acquire such an object despite no or limited equity capital and thus to withdraw it from the exploding rental market in order to guarantee long-term affordable rents for all residents. In line with our self-image, we have converted the shop floor on the ground floor into a large event room that can be used for a wide range of information events, exhibitions, rehearsals by a choir, from May 2011 for a small home cinema and the like. In addition, we regularly open this part of the house on the first Sunday of the month for a culinary get-together and exchange. Announcements for everything can be found on our website.
And as long as the little smile is with us on the house wall, we are not at a loss for a visit from friends of the Ligsalz8 and interested parties.
