Leipzig: Deutsche Bank stoned in solidarity with anarchists arrested in Operation Pandora
In solidarity with anarchists arrested in Spain, we wrecked the Deutsche Bank branch in Leipzig.
On the 16th December 2014 in Spain, different police forces conducted coordinated raids in 12 apartments, resulting in 11 anarchists arrested. One of the pretexts for why the raids took place was that the accused had destroyed cashpoints.
We stand in solidarity with those affected by the state repression and thus destroyed the cashpoints and broke the windows of Deutsche Bank situated in Lindenauer Markt.
Some are affected – we are all concerned!
We support the call for violence for the 31st December 2014.

In the night of the 30th–31st December, the headquarters of KSW on 2 Karl-Heine-Strasse in Leipzig were paint-bombed and the words “Fire protection OK?” were affixed. KSW is one of the large local real estate companies who ensure their profits by practicing aggressive evictions, revaluation and suppression at the expense of tenants.
The case of the evacuation of 28a Holbeinstrasse has been made known over the months, by which KSW has actively driven out the inhabitants by inhumane strategies. Amongst other things, fire doors were removed by KSW, and then the City indicated that fire protection is no longer guaranteed. Thereafter, the City of Leipzig prohibited its use as housing space (more in the blog cited below).[i]
We ask KSW: At home, is there fire protection?
Revaluation, suppression and gentrification or not: the problem’s called capitalism. Identify and attack the agents and ideologies – always and everywhere.
On the case of 28a Holbeinstrasse:…[i]

We do not dissociate ourselves from the call to violence.[iii]

Translators’ notes:
i. The communique was disclosed on December 31st, 2014, making mention also of this case, and providing a link to holbeinstrasse28a.de/unser-blog. In response to this, the blog’s authors (some 28a Holbeinstrasse “rental parties”) have humiliated themselves by posting a pathetic message on January 1st, 2015, reading: “Not in our name… We dissociate ourselves from violence and property damage. Happy New Year!”.
ii. A network which campaigns “for a social and democratic urban development”; yet again, nothing to do with radical activity.
iii. In support of this callout, and still in the city of Leipzig, another attacktargeted a branch of Deutsche Bank.
