Description:

Willi Essmann and another person, secured with ropes and a climbing harness, sit and stand on the roof of the Brygge, building no. 65, and paint the roof sheets with bitumen paint. A participant leans out of the kitchen window on the first floor and looks down. Frieder Moritz, supervisor and student of social pedagogy (FB 22), and two other participants are standing in front of the house with tools. On the ground, mounted on a wooden beam, is a basketball board with a basket and corrugated roofing sheets. On the left, the scaffolding and the roof of the Brygge, building no. 67, protrude into the picture.
