In the last week of August, Lucas and Möhre trudge across a muddy field under which natural gas pipes lie.
During a protest last year, workers almost welded the two of them into a pipe, they claim.
The young men are actually called differently.
But climate activists prefer not to read their real names in public.
The two of them were at the construction site in Wrangelsburg near Greifswald before the construction work began.
That's how they tell it.
Together with other members of the "Climate Justice Greifswald" group, they climbed into and on top of the pipes.
They put up a banner that read: "Nord Stream 2 clogged".
When the workers came to the construction site, they just wanted to get started and put on the welding equipment.
"We then called the police," recalls Lucas.
The pipe occupation did not last long.
A few hours later it was all over.
Today, more than a year later, the construction site has become a field, the pipes have long been laid.
