Berlin Police Clear Rheinmetall Entrance After New Protest

The repeat action signals a sustained campaign targeting the arms maker’s Berlin site.

Overview

  • Police said access to the Rheinmetall facility in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen is open after officers removed eight protesters from the Scheringstraße gate.
  • The clearance followed a Thursday morning blockade that began around 6 a.m., with about 30 officers deployed to the site.
  • Police reported that six of the eight had glued themselves to the ground next to a banner reading "No profit from genocide."
  • The operation to free and remove the group took less than 20 minutes, and investigators opened trespassing cases against all eight.
  • This was the third action at the location in recent weeks, following an April 10 glue-on protest and an earlier rooftop paint display linked to the Middle East conflict.
