At the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, numerous spaces appeared in Berlin and these spaces were used as laboratories for new sociocultural practices. We are analyzing with some examples (RAW-Tempel, Brotfabrik and Tacheles) how the actors of the sociocultural scene of the ex East Berlin describe their own activities, the narratives they use to talk about the space they invest far away from the initial use. One of the conclusions is that for them, the space is not only a topography, it also has a sense, a particular meaning intrinsically connected to these space. This is a symbolic appropriation of the in-between, witch tends to develop a correspondence between the interstitial urban grounds and new sociocultural practices.
