The protest camp against the expansion plans of the electric car manufacturer Tesla in Grünheide remains in place for the time being.
The meeting will not be prohibited, said Brandenburg's Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) on Friday afternoon.
The original registration period expires on Saturday night, but the extension has now been confirmed until next Thursday.
Grünheide - The minister emphasized that the meeting would, however, be subject to restrictive conditions.
The activists have to dismantle their tree houses by Monday.
There is a high potential for personal danger, says Stübgen.
This is part of the result of the examination by the assembly authority.
If the activists do not comply with this, it would be a violation of the requirements.
The police could then possibly break up the meeting.
The activists' goal is to prevent the forest from being cleared as part of an expansion of the Tesla site.
The activists have so far left it open whether they will follow the demand for the tree houses to be dismantled.
The activists had registered the camp as a political meeting like a demonstration.
Such events are subject to the right of assembly and do not require special approval from the police.
However, they can be prohibited or subject to conditions under certain circumstances.
In the event of a long-term occupation of the forest, nature and species protection concerns must also be examined, said Interior Minister Stübgen.
