Rheinmetall is building an ammunition factory despite protests – Scholz and Pistorius at the groundbreaking ceremony. Protesting farmers block an entrance to the Rhein metall arms company.
The company wants to expand the production of 155-millimeter artillery shells in the new ammunition factory. The federal government assessed the expansion of ammunition production in advance as a signal of Germany's continued military support for Ukraine. The Südheide peace campaign also wanted to demonstrate peacefully with a vigil with around ten people - against "armament and war policy"
