Overview
- Police carried out the clearance on Tuesday, July 14, using a low three‑digit number of officers and specialist height‑intervention teams who removed two people from the roof.
- The occupation began on Saturday when activists declared the Hein‑Heckroth‑Straße 3 house a 'FreiTraum‑Haus' to create an open communal meeting and support space for students and the wider city.
- JLU leaders held talks with the occupiers and student representatives but issued repeated ultimatums and filed a criminal complaint for trespass and related offences before asking police to enforce the removal.
- After the eviction authorities recorded identities, issued place bans and released most people, and reports say a second university building has been occupied by sympathizers.
- Local solidarity groups published an open letter backing the activists and the dispute raises wider questions about long‑term campus vacancies, the planned handover to LBIH, and possible prosecution or charges for rooftop rescue costs.
