TOXIC TOUR STOP 2: BUNA-KLUBHAUS X 50
The next stop on our tour is the Buna-Klubhaus X 50, the House of Culture in Schkopau, located directly next to one of the main entrances of Buna Werke. This cultural centre was built in 1953 by the Soviets for the Buna workers. It can be seen as a symbolic interface between the toxic industrial plant and the workers and population. We take this building as an opportunity to ask questions about the impact of Buna Werke Schkopau and the related massive toxicity on citizens during the GDR. How did GDR citizens perceive Buna Werke Schkopau? What was working at the chemical plant like during the GDR? How did people deal with the toxicity?
