N2 - This chapter highlights the history of Lampedusa in Hamburg and examines the impact of the mobilization and the transformations this brought to the social, political and cultural atmosphere of living together in Hamburg. It focuses on the campaign's development and its ability to raise the question of who belongs and what it means for 'a community' when not all people living in it are recognized as having equal rights and access to its resources in a time. Apart from this, protests against the building of shelters for refugees and attacks on refugees themselves are widespread in Germany. Furthermore, the chapter explores how experiences of squatting, 'right to the city' initiatives and similar solidarity networks, developed over the last decade in certain neighbourhoods like St. Pauli, can play a role in the process of organizing the daily survival of these refugees and can stabilize the conditions for political struggle.
