[edit] Subject to Nazi attacks

The article says:

Because of the politics of the workers in Wedding, it was a target of attacks by the Nazi government in the 1930s.

Can someone explain what "attacks" means in this context? DId the SA go and rough people up after 1932? Were laws used to make inhabitants' lives more difficult somehow? Was it subject to arial bombardment? --Jfruh 20:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

As the Wedding was one center of communist activity in the 1930ies, SA swept through the burrough several times to arrest communists and other unwanteds. The "Glaskasten" in Wedding, i.e., was a former ballroom which was used by communist worker groups for meetings. Then in the 30ies, the SA took over the spot and even used it as a point to rally up people to be sent to concentration camps. After the war, the place was used as a "church" building for people from the neighborhood, as the neighboring church had been partially destroyed by bombs. Afterwards, it became a disco club and several other things. Now it's a restaurant and an event location. And is one of the little known places in Wedding where you find a lot of history on one spot. -- AAS, Wedding, Berlin, Germany —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.202.136.126 (talk) 12:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
