“In times of social media it seems to be pretty quiet around the 2er DIY in Hanover, Germany. But even without an official 2er-IG-account the locals put out two less ephemeral cultural contributions recently. Their video focuses on the locals and their beloved spot. Enriched with some footage from the ContiCrete DIY (rip) and the streets of Hanover. It’s a true and authentic insight in the 2er community and their skateboarding. In combination with the video a little zine was released. It collects analogue photography from skaters and friends. Most of them were taken on the “2er DIWHY” event in 2019. This fest was set up by a new generation of locals in replacement for the legendary and infamous “2er on fire”. It was a 3-day-celebration of our DIY skateculture with contests, movies, more than a dozen bands/artist and not ending after-show parties. Thanks to everybody who showed up and contributed to this crazy weekend.
Video created by Ben Beofsich, part of the ALM DIY (rip) and St Marx DIY crew in Vienna, Austria. Ben worked with Yamato Living Ramps and lived for some years in Hanover. He moved back to Vienna last month and this video edit was his farewell gift to the 2er crew. CC stands for Conti Crete, our small DIY in an abandoned building we built in 2018. It was shut down last year. Footage was collected by him, 2er-mastermind Eule and others over the last four years and almost every local is part of it.” – René Haack

It’s originally a graffiti found at 2er. A made up quote of “Karl Marx”.
It means: “Who works in the evening, can also booze in the morning.” – Karl Marx
