Leopoldstraße Reopens After Overnight Climate Sit-In During IAA Protests

Police recorded 25 identities after permitting the unregistered sit-in under conditions.

Overview

  • Activists sat on the roadway around 19:40 on Friday near Georgenstraße, blocking traffic in both directions on Leopoldstraße.
  • Traffic was diverted at Siegestor and Münchner Freiheit as officers tolerated the assembly until the early morning.
  • The group ended the blockade at about 4:15, after which additional barriers were lifted.
  • Police opened investigations into an unregistered assembly and possible coercion in road traffic, taking the details of 25 participants.
  • On Saturday roughly 700 people joined a bicycle demonstration followed by a foot march as the IAA Mobility event continued through Sunday.
