New at Reason: Charles Hayes on the Battle for Christiania, Denmark's Legendary Countercultural Enclave
Christiania, a
scruffy micronation that sits in the heart of Copenhagen's upscale,
canal-incised Christianhavn district, sprang to life in 1971 when a
band of utopian rebels expropriated an 85-acre former army
barracks. But as Charles Hayes writes, Christiania is now facing
both an existential and a property rights crisis, with an aging
population of ’60s counterculturalists battling a less tolerant and
increasingly antagonistic national government that sees great
untapped value in the commune’s waterfront land.
