In several incidents during the last week, defendors of the lignite open cast mine damaged or destroyed material of the occupations. Among others, several climbing ropes were cut, the tires of a car owned by a person living in the occupation were stabbed and a tent in the new inhabitalbe barricade (“the Hedgehog”) was slit.
Hey folks, the Winter is approaching it’s end ans a new spring with actions in and around the Hambach Forest is coming up. In the Forest Festival on 4th and 5th April 2015 we will celebrate three years of forest- and meadow occupations, and subsequently there will be another Skillsharing Camp from 6th until 12th April 2015.
We still have loads of flyers, placards, stickers and texts, which are waiting for a space in your infoshops and projects and would like to be distributed. If you want to have any material sent to you, send us an e-mail with the subject “infostuff” to hambacherforst@nullriseup.net. (Notice the German spelling!)

You can also download the flyers below in order to print them yourselves.
Since a few days, shelters a spiky hedgehog, blocking one of the main crossroads in the Hambach Forest. It’s a type of watchtower, surrounded by other barricades and trenches. The barricade, which is occupied 24 hours a day, was visited this morning by RWE Security-Forces. Unfortunately, they also came very close to the squatted meadow and therefore had to be accompanied out of the forest by some people.
In the last days, increasingly often security guards patrolled the forest on “our side” of the closed down highway. Yesterday, the climbing rope of the Beechtown-Occupation was cut again.
