Environmental Activists Stage Dramatic Protest from CDU Headquarters Roof in Berlin

On Wednesday morning in Berlin, environmental activists detached themselves from the roof of the CDU party headquarters. According to police, emergency services were called to the Konrad Adenauer House shortly after 7 a.m. Several individuals had gained unauthorized access to the roof of the building. Personnel from the Central Property Protection service discovered the people, who then rappelled off the roof and unfurled a banner on the building’s façade.

The group involved appears to be members of the Robin Wood activist collective. The banner read: “Clear boundary against the right. End social decline, combat the climate crisis.” Police alerted specialized high-angle rescue teams to the scene. Investigations regarding trespassing have been launched against all participants. Furthermore, one person operating a drone was initially apprehended. Police had deployed approximately 30 officers to the location.
