Lützerath : incendiary sabotage of coal mine pumps
Fire to the coal infrastructure – reduce RWE to ashes
Translated from German via de.indymedia, 22 October 2022
On the night of October 18-19, we, several small groups from Lützerath, set fire to three pumps of the Garzweiler 2 open pit mine in the vicinity of the village.
The pumps are part of the infrastructure of the open-pit mine for which the village of Lützerath has to be destroyed. In the last two years, Lützerath has become a central place of resistance in Germany against the destruction and exploitation of nature and our ways of living. The attempt to evict the village is imminent. But Lützerath is not the only village threatened by open-cast mining.
On Monday, October 17, RWE [the operator of the giant brown coal mine] began to uproot the trees and demolish the houses in 
Immerath. Immerath is within sight, only a few minutes from Lützerath. All the inhabitants of the village have been evicted by RWE and large parts of it have already been destroyed.

On the night of Sunday, July 31 to Monday, August 1, 2022, between 9:00 pm and 3:00 am, the cable shaft of the signal box in Mering (Bavaria) was deliberately set on fire. Many regional trains between Munich and Augsburg were cancelled for 48 hours. The attack also severely disrupted long-distance ICE and Intercity trains from Nuremberg, Ulm and Stuttgart – all of which passed through this important rail hub – causing long delays and cancellations.
According to a Deutsche Bahn (DB) spokesperson, who had to justify the late return to normal operation, it is caused by burned cables along the tracks: “About 15 cables, each containing more than 500 wires, were affected and had to be replaced. These cables control, among other things, the signals along the line and important functions of the Mering signal box.”
Valley, particularly in Quillan and Esperaza, have been deprived of a telephone and Internet network. The operator Orange said that the failure is due to an act of vandalism committed on a fiber optic cable located in the town of Quillan.
On Wednesday, September 7, incendiary actions were carried out in emblematic high schools of the capital, at the same time that a student mobilization was taking place in the streets and subways of Santiago (RM).
