The pamphlet "Movement in Freiburg," designed in a Dadaist manner, deals primarily with the consequences of the so-called “Scherbennacht" [Night o broken glass], a reaction by squatters to the police eviction of a squatted house, during which shop windows of banks, insurance companies, and retail stores were smashed. As in Frankfurt, Berlin, and Hamburg, the issue in Freiburg was not least the preservation of historic buildings that were to make way for investors' plans for new construction. The scene in Freiburg was deeply divided on the issue of violence; numerous groups tried to negotiate with the investors and the city administration. The aim of the pamphlet seems to have been to put the action of the "Scherbennacht," against which a large part of the movement had spoken out, in relation to the conflicts with the city administration and the police.
