Georg von Rauch Haus (named after Georg von Rauch) is a squat in Kreuzberg, Berlin, established in 1971. It became an important center for the city's left-wing/countercultural milieu in the early 1970s.

The Georg von Rauch Haus was built as part of the Bethanien hospital [de] at Mariannenplatz [de] in Kreuzberg, Berlin. It was formerly a residence for nuns called the Martha Maria Haus, which was left derelict in 1970.^[1]

On December 8, 1971, a teach-in was organised at the Technische Universität Berlin to commemorate the death of activist Georg von Rauch. Following a concert by Ton Steine Scherben, the building was squatted by 300 people and named after von Rauch.^[1] It was one of the first squats in West Berlin.^[2] The squatters were young homeless people, students and workers.^[3][1]

The occupation was legalized by the local authorities and inspired Ton Steine Scherben's "Rauch-Haus-Song".^[1][4] It became an important center for the city's left-wing/countercultural milieu and was raided in 1972 by the police looking for Bommi Baumann.^[3]
