Abstract
As the sociologist Thomas F. Gieryn argues, buildings give structure to social networks and persistence to behavioural patterns. This essay focuses on the Oscar Romero House (ORH) in Bonn/Germany as a dynamic and historically changing space for networks of civic engagement from the Latin American solidarity movement to climate justice activism. The changes during the history of the house, as a mirror of socio-historical developments, are accompanied by negotiation processes about the question of the significance of the namesake of the house, Oscar Romero, and what Romero as a figurehead represents.
