Activist Disguised as Minister Glues Herself to Bode-Museum Display in Berlin

The action signals the Letzte Generation’s successor is keeping high-visibility tactics alive.

Overview

  • A supporter of the group Neue Generation, posing as Economics Minister Katherina Reiche, glued herself to a glass case in the Bode-Museum’s coin collection on Tuesday using superglue.
  • The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which oversees the museum, confirmed the incident and said no exhibit was harmed.
  • Berlin police removed the woman from the display and opened a trespassing investigation, with a spokesperson noting the operation began around 4 p.m. local time.
  • The group identified the participant as Joyce Fiedler and said she condemned current energy policy and alleged close ties between business and politics, while urging more citizen participation.
  • Neue Generation grew out of the Letzte Generation, which disbanded in January 2025, and the group now says glue-based stunts remain an option even as it broadens its tactics beyond roadblocks.
