Since the beginning of the year, the “last generation” eco-extremists have been blocking roads and freeway accesses in the capital. In recent weeks they have changed their tactics – and have become even more radical.
In August, two young women from the group glued themselves to the frame of a work by Cranach in the Berlin Picture Gallery.
It wasn’t until the end of October that climate chaotics threw mashed potatoes at a Monet work in Potsdam’s Barberini Museum. The museum later estimated the damage to be in the five-figure range.
First mashed potatoes, then glue. After pouring the liquid over Monet’s painting in the Barberini, the two climate chaotics taped themselves to the wall. In a video this week, both said they had practiced throwing in the bathroom beforehand Photo: dpa picture radio
Particularly bizarre: Last week, a woman stuck herself to the dinosaur skeleton in the Natural History Museum – she was holding her little son on the other hand at the same time.

The party headquarters of the traffic light coalition were also not spared. All were pelted with paint.
The death of a cyclist on Bundesallee in Schöneberg, who fell under a cement mixer, caused nationwide outrage and shock this week. A fire service vehicle did not come to the scene of the accident because it was stuck in a traffic jam on the A 100 – caused by two “last generation” climate stickers.
