Overview
- Eighteen activists began the blockade at 8:48 a.m. at Stauffenbergallee and Königsbrücker Straße, rotating seven-minute stoppages on each approach, and ended the action at 9:16 a.m.
- The demonstration was notified to authorities and proceeded without police intervention as trams were let through and drivers largely remained calm.
- Organizers framed the protest as a push to accelerate Dresden’s shift away from fossil-fuel heating and to implement the municipal heat plan more quickly.
- The group calls for expanding heat networks, promoting heat pumps, providing social compensation for low-income households, and involving citizens early in decisions.
- Activists signaled a sustained campaign by announcing another Dresden blockade planned for February 26.
