Demonstrations - Three activists leave the roof of an occupied print shop
After the police evacuated the interior of the squatted former Dondorf printing works in Frankfurt, three activists had left the roof by midday on Friday. Their identities had been established for the investigation. According to the spokesperson, eleven activists were still on the roof on Friday afternoon. The collective, on the other hand, spoke of twelve activists when asked. The police operation continued.
A spokesperson for the activists confirmed that the demonstrators had left. "Our assessment is that the police are letting the people up there freeze and starve until they have to come down," the spokesperson added. According to earlier police reports, the officers refrained from clearing the roof for safety reasons.
The collective called "Die Druckerei" has been occupying the former Dondorf printing works in Frankfurt's Bockenheim district for the second time this year since last weekend. The activists rejected an appeal by Goethe University, which has the right to occupy the building, to voluntarily vacate the premises by Wednesday afternoon. They are demanding the preservation of the building as an industrial and cultural monument. It is to be demolished to make way for a new building for the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA). The building, which belongs to the state of Hesse, most recently housed the Institute for Art Education at Goethe University.

The activists had occupied the former Dondorf printing works, a historical building located in Frankfurt's Bockenheim district. Despite a request from Goethe University, the activists, who identified as "Die Druckerei" collective, decided to remain in the real estate, leading to a dispute over the building's future. The police intervention was primarily focused on the group's roof, where demonstrations had been taking place. This entire situation unfolded in the heart of Frankfurt on the Main.
