Creation of a neighbourhood newspaper about a famous square in Berlin-Kreuzberg called 'Kottbusser Tor'. Unfortunately, 'Kotti' is mostly known for its number of crimes and the drug addicts. The neighbourhood is torn apart between a bad reputation and a heavy gentrification process happening since a few years. In order to question these stereotypes and the myths, we made a big research, doing interviews with neighbours, Berliners and tourists. The magazine is only a small summary of those discussions. But it mostly was a good opportunity to raise questions and open the debate on city politics and the future of this neighbourhood and the city of Berlin.
