The climate protest recently at Munich's Stachus heated up tempers: 18 activists are now in prison in custody.

One of them is only 18 years old.

Munich – She is only 18 years old, she is a student – ​​and now she is in prison in Stadelheim.

The photo on the right shows Maria Braun: She is one of the climate activists who stuck to the Stachus on Monday and who is now feeling the harsh reaction of the Bavarian state.

Maria's comrades-in-arms from the group "Last Generation" report on what happened, even if the police do not confirm the name.

However, the officials say that a total of 18 activists are currently in custody in Stadelheim.

How long varies from case to case – Maria Braun, for example, should be released on Monday evening.


Climate protest in Munich - activists go to prison in Stadelheim

The activists had protested several times in Munich in the past week - our newspaper had reported on the gluing marathon through the city.

The activists say they are peacefully resisting.

But the reactions are divided: some like the protest, others want harsh penalties.

And the Bavarian state reacts strictly.

Some of the activists have to stay in Stadelheim for 30 days.

This is permitted under the Police Duties Act.

Maria Braun, however, should be released after almost a week.

"The length of detention is often incomprehensible to us," says Lilly Schubert from the "Last Generation".

Schubert knows the individual steps.

She knows what happens between being stuck on the street and jail because she has protested herself.

She describes the process as follows: After the police have removed the taped people from the street, they are taken to a police station.

Then it's time to wait at the detention center to see if the police will apply for custody, says Schubert.

From the climate protest to the Munich prison: harsh reactions trigger irritation

Such preventive detention is intended to prevent activists from planning illegal actions.

If the police apply for custody, a magistrate will have to decide who has to go to prison for how long, Schubert reports.

It also depends on the statements of those involved.

"We say that we will continue to protest," she says.

It is therefore clear to them why their comrades-in-arms are in prison.

Maria Braun was already in custody for about a day after an adhesive action last Thursday, reports Lilly Schubert.

"She knew what to expect - so she was mentally prepared for detention."
