background

Police action against the demonstration in February 1981

The Brokdorf nuclear power plant is seen by many opponents of nuclear power as a symbol of resistance to the use of nuclear energy in Germany. The nuclear power plant could only be completed after years of violent disputes at the site fence and a multi-year construction freeze. Nuclear power opponents and the police fought “civil war-like battles with hundreds of injuries” in a large demonstration in 1981. 30 years later, the campaign aimed to promote a quick phase-out of civilian use of nuclear energy. One consequence of the protests in 1985 was the so-called Brokdorf decision of the Federal Constitutional Court , which is a fundamental decision on the right of assembly . In it, the Federal Constitutional Court dealt with freedom of assembly for the first time and found that the ban on assembly for the demonstrations in Brokdorf was unconstitutional.

action

Protest actions and a blockade of the kiln were originally planned for Whitsun 2011 with several thousand demonstrators. This action was postponed by a week because the power plant operator E.ON had also postponed the revision work on the nuclear power plant. X thousand times across announced that the operator had postponed the revision work because of the planned protests. An E.ON spokeswoman named organizational and energy-related reasons for the postponement of the construction work. The Federal Network Agency had warned that there could be more power outages due to the protests on the weekend of Pentecost.

More than a hundred opponents of nuclear power had gathered around the nuclear power plant on Saturday, June 11, 2011. On Saturday, among other things, an action training took place in order to avoid escalations during the protests. The aim is to block the construction work, as a consensus of action was communicated: “Our aim is to block, i. H. we will overcome police barriers, push them away, bypass them or flow skillfully through them. We do not allow ourselves to be stopped, we do not stand still and we do not step into possible escalation strategies of the police. Our goal is to reach the blockade points. "

The police expected thousands of demonstrators for the weekend. Several thousand police officers from all over northern Germany were gathered at the Wilstermarsch . A police spokesman said the operation had a dimension that had not occurred in Schleswig-Holstein for 26 years (1985). According to the left-wing parliamentary group in Bremen, the costs for the deployment should be in the seven-digit range.

On Sunday evening, the NDR reported that, according to the police, around 300 people had followed the call of the anti-nuclear alliance “Lower Elbe” in the peaceful protests at the Brokdorf nuclear power plant. The organizers of the action alliance spoke of around 400 participants. The protesters first moved from the federal highway 431 in the direction of the district road to the power plant. At noon, a human chain surrounded the nuclear power plant.

Around 200 opponents of nuclear power protested on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the Brokdorf nuclear power plant. The activists formed sit-ins in front of both gates of the kiln in order to delay work on the revision of the power plant. On June 15, 2011, the NPP went offline for three weeks for annual maintenance. According to the police, the blockades were initially assessed as a gathering and tolerated. After demonstrators prevented workers from entering and leaving the power plant site, the police cleared the driveways. The NDR reported that the action was peaceful and uneventful.
