Cinema matinee „Auf der Kippe“ (On the brink) including discussion with the director, on March 6, 2016 at 11 am in the Capitol-Theater Kerpen.
A film for the preservation of the Lusatian home country and on the fight against the excavators..
This evening about 7:30 pm, several shots were made to the meadow occupation with an alarm pistol from a private looking station wagon which drove by the edge of the meadow. An eye witness tells: “A dark station wagon rolled past the meadow. It turned and was gone for some moments. Probably the car was parked at the neighboring meadow. A short time later two powerful flashlights lit up. A few minutes after that something was shouted from the car. Then someone shot several times out of the car. The car went away then and some more shots banged. It was probably a alarm pistol, the muzzle flash was directed towards the meadow.”
The Tree Protection pictures are hung, 02/03/2016
That’s how it looked shortly after the art event.
Felled on Monday 29.2., the very last day of the grubbing season.
A small consolation and a great encouragement: The felled trees are not dead, only their over-ground parts were cut off. Many tree species, including the in this wood prevailing hornbeams and oaks, are able to sprout from their underground part again. Of course, that part may then not be dredged away too!
Today, the last day on which RWE, stipulated in applicable laws, is allowed to deforest, they get going vigorously once more.
The clearing work is in full swing and both security guards and police in riot gear are in large numbers in the forest and on the former A4. Helicopters are circling and dog squads patrol the forest trails. Timber transporters leave the cleared area in large numbers.
The statements from the police units, why they are in the forest fluctuate, vary depending from the officer in question:
