Climate protection activists broke into the Federal Ministry of Finance in Berlin on Monday and protested there with posters and chants.
According to the police, they stood and sat in the entrance area and on a balcony of the large building on Wilhelmstrasse.
The Last Generation group tweeted a video showing young people holding banners with English-language inscriptions in a large hall.
Berlin - They wrote that Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) had promised to advise on a haircut for poor countries.
But it is an "empty promise".
Another group asked Lindner to speak to her on site.
At the same time, demonstrators have been blocking motorway exits in several places in Berlin since the morning, including in Charlottenburg, Tempelhof and Schöneberg.
Some of them glued themselves to the streets.
On Sunday evening, climate protection activists demonstrated at a major world health congress in Berlin, blocked an entrance and triggered a false fire alarm.
In the past week, they had set off at least two false fire alarms in Bundestag buildings.
At the same time, the group had announced that it would expand its blockade actions or other disruptions this week.
The demonstrators are calling for more measures to protect the climate.
Since the beginning of the year there have been lockades and other promotions.
