In Munich, climate activists of the »last generation« glued themselves to a street in the morning.

A police spokeswoman said that three people had been removed from the street at Karlsplatz (Stachus) in the morning.

According to the information, they were taken to a police station to determine their personal details.

The action lasted about an hour, they said.

Since traffic was diverted, there were no major disruptions.

According to a statement from the group, the demonstrators also included a woman who had been in preventive custody several times for other actions.

Munich actually wanted to prevent further adhesive protests with a regulation from the beginning of December.

According to a general decree, calling for unannounced adhesive protests in the Bavarian capital is punishable by law until the beginning of January.

In addition, the Munich police headquarters had announced that it would claim any costs incurred for operations, as reported by Bayerischer Rundfunk, among others.

According to the police, depending on the effort, activists could be charged between 250 euros and 1,500 euros – for removing the stuck people.

These were removed from the asphalt by police officers.

Traffic was reopened around 8:50 a.m.

The group said on Twitter about the blockade: "We do not do this lightly.

We are sorry for the disturbance to the people.

We don't know of any other effective means of saving us all.« The protests of the »Last Generation« are directed against the climate policy of the federal government.

She calls for a speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour on motorways and a nine-euro train ticket for the whole of Germany.
