Despite the police's request to leave the brown coal town of Lützerath, activists want to keep the village occupied.
"People are determined to persevere, to protect the trees and the buildings," said Mara Sauer, a spokeswoman for the "Lützerath Lives" initiative.
She has no information about possible injuries.
Erkelenz – The police began clearing Lützerath on Wednesday morning.
Among other things, activists are on tree houses, in buildings and huts, said Sauer.
"It will definitely take a long time," she emphasized with a view to the eviction.
