Axt und Kelle - Association for the promotion and preservation of culture and building trade is a shaft founded in 1982 , which was founded as an alternative to the traditional shafts that had existed until then. In contrast to these, he also allows women to travel . Craftsmen from German-speaking countries, Benelux, France and Denmark are rolling in this shaft.

history

In the late 1970s came under the influence of new social movements in individual strangers so travelers journeyman existing wells and leisure travelers , the need to organize together with women and to position themselves politically. Many also no longer wanted to work under a foreman, but wanted to plan and implement construction sites independently, without hierarchy , together with others. After traveling journeyman had been excluded from their shafts because they advocated hiking together and with female travelers, some founded a building collective in 1979 under the name Axt und Kelle . They mainly worked on construction sites for projects from the alternative scene . The shaft of the same name emerged from this building collective in 1982. He was the first to "hike", that is, to take in women. It is entered in the Hamburg register of associations.

Self-image

According to the preamble of the statutes , the shaft sees itself “as a part of those who have started outside of party politics and regionally to take their lives into their own hands”.

Therefore, members of the shaft regularly work in various social and charitable projects, for example in Copenhagen in the free city of Christiania , the Free Living and Study Community Melchiorsgrund , or in the Bernese Reithalle cultural center .

A critical examination of the problems of the time, the political events, as well as the existing ecological and economic conditions are just as much a part of wandering as is the passing on of old traditions.

particularities

Unlike most other shafts, the ax and trowel takes women. The proportion of women among all travelers in 2015 was around 15%. Not only did he learn all of the main and ancillary construction trades, but also other trades. Members are allowed to hike in groups.

In contrast to the other shafts, the hiked members do not wear any honor , but rather a "pendant" (earring) with the insignia of the shaft: ax and trowel in front of the rising sun. With ax and trowel , hike for at least two years and one day.

In contrast to other shafts, the locals do not have the right to vote at meetings, since the interests of the travelers should only be determined by them.
