In the middle of Salzburg
Activists occupy former brothel
They wanted to make a statement against the housing shortage in the city of Salzburg and quickly seized the premises of the former "Maison de Plaisir" brothel on the banks of the Salzach.
Prostitutes used to stretch out here, but on Friday evening left-wing activists hijacked the empty premises of the former "Maison de Plaisir" in Salzburg's Steingasse. The protest movement "Leerstand 5020" said that they wanted to send a signal against the "failed housing policy and the continuing housing crisis in Salzburg".
The group hoisted two banners, set off fireworks and informed the media of their occupation. However, the spook was over after a short time. The activists quickly left again.
The police made their way to the "Maison de Plaisir" as quickly as possible, but found no one there.
As is well known, the former brothel is to be converted into a hotel. Lena Bauer from "Leerstand 5020" comments: "In vacant buildings and premises, we want to create a place for everyone, away from income and origin."
