Overview

  • The 'A100 wegbassen' alliance is organizing a stationary protest on Saturday in Berlin’s Treptow-Köpenick district, with 5,000 participants registered.
  • The event will feature a family festival, ten music stages hosted by prominent Berlin clubs, and bicycle demonstrations converging from various districts.
  • Environmentalists, youth climate activists, and Berlin’s club community have united to oppose the A100 expansion, citing concerns over noise, pollution, and urban fragmentation.
  • Section 16 of the A100, connecting Neukölln to Treptower Park, is slated to open in early September after delays; Section 17’s future remains uncertain.
  • Critics argue that the nearly €720 million project should prioritize greener mobility solutions over motorway expansion.
