Baubeginn in Gorleben! Demo, am tag nach Baubeginn, 17 Olivaer Platz [handbill]

[Gorleben]: "V.i.S.p.D.", [c1981]. 8.5x11 inch sheet; evenly toned, with a light crease in top right corner, else in very good condition. The name V.i.S.d.P. above the address was a pseudonym used by the left generally to avoid state repression from a law that required a name to be put on all publications to be considered legitimate (Art as Resistance, Bernd Langer).

The early eighties were filled with anti-nuclear protests in Germany, and the flyers' authors warn of the upcoming construction of the controversial nuclear waste storage facility in Gorleben. This leaflet calls for help building a protest encampment at salt mine drill site 1003, and for a demonstration the following day. The leaflet was published after the Free Republic of Wendland (1980) located at drill site 1004 (Cornelia Frey, “Wachsam in Holzpalästen” [“Watchful in Wooden Palaces: Anti-Nuclear Activists Offer Resistance in Gorleben ‘Peace Village’”], Die Zeit, May 30, 1980).
