The protest action in the course of the IAA on the A92 and A9 motorways has caused a mixed response.
The ratings range from “very good” to “gross”.
District
- Those affected reacted to the spectacular protest against the International Motor Show with anger, irritation, but also understanding.
As reported, 15 activists roped off highway bridges on Tuesday morning and pasted signs with their messages.
IAA protests on the Autobahn: Opinions divided
“Verkehrskollaps” and “NO IAA” could be read on the A 9 near Fürholzen.
The A 92 near Neufahrn was also the scene of an action.
Drivers were slowed down for hours.
IAA protest on the A9: Fire Brigade Commander reports - "That was madness"
As commander of the Allershausen volunteer fire brigade, Friedrich Moser has already experienced some tricky missions on the A 9.
“But never before,” he reports to the FT.
His people were also alerted on Tuesday morning - originally "only" to divert traffic from the motorway, which had to be completely closed to protect people.
"Then we were asked by the police to make our turntable ladder available to bring the three activists down."

The police from the Special Operations Command (SEK) were transported upstairs in the basket by the Allershausen residents. As Moser announced, the climbers could be arrested without resistance. For the police, however, it was not an easy mission. Because from the bridge, other activists had filmed everything with their cell phones - "only to say: Look here, the bad police!"
She couldn't be provoked.
According to Moser, the activists had achieved everything they wanted: to create collapse and chaos.
“What they caused was madness.
Families with small children are stuck, people have missed their flights and, above all, ambulances could no longer continue. ”The fire brigade then managed to at least get through intensive care transports where human life was at stake.
Moser is all the worse at speaking to the activists.
“You can have a different opinion and take it, but then you have to do it differently.
Because that was rough. "

The commander also does not hide the fact that his people have "gotten a lot of anger" about the mission.
Eventually, the volunteers would be torn from their free time or work.
“The companies are very accommodating and we are happy to help.
But if that happens because of such chaos, that's a problem. "
IAA protest on the A92: eyewitness makes it clear - "A story free of meaning"
For Sylvia Zech, the routine ended at 9:10 a.m.
The new driver wanted to walk to the Mühlsee on Wednesday, as so often.
The way led them over the bridge of the A 92, which activists were also busy working on.
“Everything was already cordoned off,” she reports to the FT.
Pedestrians and cyclists were still allowed to pass.
But Sylvia Zech stopped.
She discovered one of the activists hanging on a rope.
“I asked a policeman if I could talk to him.
And he replied that it wasn't a problem as long as I didn't offend the man. ”Sylvia Zech wasn't afraid or shy of speaking to the activist.
"If I have to, I speak to everyone, so I'm free of pain," she says.
And so a small exchange of views developed between the new driver and the activist.

"Why are you hanging there?" Asked Sylvia Zech without hesitation.
The man replied that he wanted to get attention.
Zech back: “You can achieve something, but not with such actions.
They tend to have the opposite effect because they trigger anger and anger. ”People would certainly not switch to bicycles because of him.
The activist was not only willing to be photographed, but was generally very talkative.
"And he was audibly not from Bavaria," reports the new driver.
“He won't have come here on his bike either.” When she asked whether he had also used a car or an airplane, the otherwise talkative man was silent.
This is how Sylvia Zech's conclusion the next day is: "This action was a meaningless story."
Protest against the IAA - the climate protector: "Forced out of desperation"
Possibly, says Sepp Beck, he would evaluate the action differently if he had sat in the car and been slowed down.
“But as an outsider, I found the campaign very good.” He, who is involved in the Freising Agenda21 group “Energy and Climate Protection”, understands the activists.
"The fact that people who care about the planet feel compelled to take such actions out of a certain desperation, I can very well understand when you see how little you can achieve with the normal means that are available to you." And you also have to see that Greenpeace achieve significantly more for the environment with their strategies than others with a good postcard campaign.

For Beck, the Autobahn climbers hit the right nerve. Because while all other sectors would reduce CO2 emissions, they are still going up in traffic. “And when I see which vehicles are being advertised at the IAA, then it's not about the purpose of transporting people, but about bigger, heavier, faster. In terms of design, these are half a rocket. "
