The now-aging hippies who took over a derelict naval base in Copenhagen more than 50 years ago and turned it into a freewheeling community known as Christiania want to boot out criminals who control the community’s lucrative market for hashish by ripping up the cobblestoned street where it openly changes hands.

FILE - A man rides his bike passing by The Grey Hall at Christiania neighborhood of Copenhagen, Feb. 11, 2004. The aging hippies who more than 50 years ago squatted a derelict naval base in Copenhagen and turned it into freewheeling Christiania neighborhood, want to boot out criminals controlling the community’s lucrative hashish market for good, by ripping open the paved street on Saturday, April 6, 2024, where small brown lumps openly change hands and which has been a thorn in side of many.

To begin with, the residents, called Christianites, disregarded laws by building houses without permits and often ignoring utility bills. Outsiders could only move into the community if they were related to someone already living there. Prag said they want “younger people, more families” to move in who are willing to participate in community activities to keep the spirit of Christiania, with buildings painted in psychedelic colors and stray dogs, alive.
