The extent of the farmers’ week of action starting Monday will vary from region to region. Similar to climate activists, most state associations rely on a well-known means.
Berlin.
Ahead of the farmers’ association’s planned week of action, some cities are warning of greater restrictions on road traffic on Monday. And it’s not just farmers who want to protest. An overview of some of the announced actions:
Bayern
Some municipalities fear major consequences for the week of action, for example through blocking motorway entrances. The German Farmers’ Association is planning a rally in Munich on Monday, among other things. Other sectors also want to take part in the protests.
Berlin
The road between the Großer Stern and the Brandenburg Gate will be closed from Sunday to Monday evening. The reason is a registered demo with tractors on Monday. According to the police, a rally with around 300 participants was registered.
Brandenburg
Farmers in Brandenburg want to use tractors to block entrances to motorways and federal highways in many places. Central traffic axes such as the A24 from Berlin to Hamburg are also affected.

According to the state farmers’ association, protests are also planned at supermarkets and gas stations as well as in front of the State Chancellery in Potsdam.
Hamburg
The Hamburg police are expecting significant traffic disruptions throughout the city on Monday due to tractor demonstrations.
