Through Civil disobedience and Activism
Some smaller activities happened on the 6 October 2018 in the Hambach Forest, whereas the main activities were concentrated around the 25-29 October 2018.
On the 27 October 2018, a bucket-wheel excavator near the village of Morschenich as well as the rails of the Hambach industrial spur belonging to the Hambach surface mine were occupied by several thousand activists for 22 hours in order to symbolically block the transfer of lignite to the power plants. More than 5000 people took part in the protests.
In the aftermath to the activities, the public prosecutor's office Aachen investigates for breach of the peace against some 400 participants of the protests, who also tried to enter the Inden surface mine.
