The Ernst Kirchweger Haus (EKH) in Vienna, Austria, was squatted in 1990 to become an internationalist, anti-fascist, self-run space. The EKH defines itself as a free zone for cultural, political and artistic activities and houses an autonomous living space for 30 people and numerous political as well as cultural initiatives and groups.

Since the 20th of October 2004 it has been known that the former owner, the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ), has sold the building for much less than its worth to speculators from the extreme right-wing. In the last months, the housing management under a Christian Machowetz, has taken official (and often terrorizing) actions to have this internationally important autonomous run center empty by 30th of June 2005.
