In dessen heute nicht mehr erhaltenen Hinterhaus befand sich zwischen der Hausbesetzung am 12. Februar 1981, und der Zwangsräumung im Dezember 1983 das sog. "Tuntenhaus" in der Bülowstraße, ein basis-demokratisches Wohnprojekt von und für mehrheitlich aber nicht ausschließlich schwulen Männern organisiert. Später began das Projekt erneut in die Mainzer Straße 4, Berlin-Friedrichshain, danach zog es um in die Kastanienallee 85, Berlin-Prenzlauer. Ein Teil der Reise des Tuntenhauses begleitet die britische Filmemacherin Juliet Bashore in ihrem 25 minütigen Film, The Battle of Tuntenhaus, U.K. 1991. (zu sehen auf squattheplanet.com)

English:
Between the squatting of the building on February 12, 1981 and the forcible eviction of the squatters in December 1983 the no longer existent rear building of this typical Berlin tenement was the site of the "Tuntenhaus"¹ on Bülowstraße. The "Tuntenhaus" was a grass-roots democratic residential cooperative primarily though not exclusively organized by and for gay men. The was project later restarted to Mainzer Straße 4 in Berlin-Friedrichshain, and then moved to Kastanienalleee 85 in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Juliet Bashore's 25 minute film The Battle of Tuntenhaus, U.K. 1991, documents part of the project's journey. (watch on squattheplanet.com)

1) In English roughly "Queens' House". "Tunte" is a generally derogatory German vernacular term used to refer to a flamboyant or effeminate gay man. From the 1970s to the 2000s "Tunte" was appropriated by gay activists, and use in a "self-affirming" manor. As vocabulary from the Anglo-American LGBTIQ+ movement has gained increasing currency in German speaking LGBTIQ+ circles over the past 2 decades, the word has become less commonplace.
