The Free City/Town of Christiania (Fristaden Christiania) is a democratic commune, which is partially self-governing neighborhood in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1971 as an alternative society, which was an offfpring of the Danish counter-cultural movement and the student / hippie squatters uprisings of the 1960s. The community appropriated some abandoned military/army barracks because the vacant tract and boarded-up buildings became an eyesore, and they wanted to convert it into a playground/park.
