Egon Weidekamp is perhaps best known for giving the rights to use Ungdomshuset on Jagtvej 69 (which was torn down in 2007) to the group of squatters called BZ-bevægelsen after many years of social unrest and riots.
Ruth Evensen (born 1951 in Gladsaxe, Denmark) is the co-founder and leader of the Christian free church Faderhuset which became widely known for its controversial purchase of Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen.
