Berlin (Germany) : A cement giant loses its concrete trucks

[On the night of March 14/15 in Berlin, at around 3:50 a.m., six concrete trucks were completely destroyed and three other machines (excavators) damaged by flames on the A100 freeway construction site in Kiefholzstrasse. The concrete mixers belonged to the German HeidelbergMaterials group, the world’s second-largest cement producer. On December 27, 2023, the site of another concrete giant, CEMEX, was attacked in Berlin, setting fire to five concrete mixer trucks, the bulk material conveyor belt and a technical building near the silos. And on January 19, 2024, two excavators on the same Berlin A100 freeway site had already been consumed by the flames of anger.

Here is a translation of the communique about the March 15 attack on HeidelbergMaterials, published on indymedia germany on the same day].

Arson attack on HeidelbergMaterials // Attacking colonial legacies // Stopping the A100

Armed with incendiary devices and rage, last night we temporarily rendered harmless a HeidelbergMaterials AG cement plant on the A100 construction site. To do so, we set fire to several concrete mixers and excavators on the plant site. With over 800 subsidiaries, HeidelbergMaterials is the world’s second-largest cement producer – and the second-most climate-damaging company in Germany, behind RWE. But others have provided a detailed description, in a communique for the attack on CEMEX at the end of December 2023, just how environmentally damaging cement production is.

Berlin,Germany : news from Tesla and a second communique from the Volcano Group

Berlin: news from Tesla and a second communique from the Volcano Group

A week after a high-voltage power line tower in Berlin caught fire at dawn on March 5, deliberately bringing Tesla’s European electric vehicle production plant to a standstill, the plant was only reconnected to the power grid on March 11. And two days later, on Wednesday March 13, it was finally able to start up again in the presence of its CEO Elon Musk, who came to Berlin-Grünheide to be cheered by his brave workers, before meeting local politicians. However, “it will still be some time before production resumes in full, but the most important step has been taken”, according to plant manager Andre Thierig. Knowing that each day spent without electricity or production cost between 50 and 60 million euros, we leave it to you to calculate Tesla’s losses for these eight days of shutdown.

While the 5,000 inhabitants of the Freienbrink district were reconnected the very same day, it was a completely different matter for grid operator E.DIS to be able to reconnect the Tesla factory, given the huge amount of energy required by the 12,500-strong gigafactory. A vast emergency worksite was therefore immediately deployed in the field where the burnt-out pylon was located. Firstly, to build a temporary access road from the adjacent forest in order to transport heavy machinery, then to dig out from under the muddy earth some of the cables linking this pylon to the Erkner transformer station, and finally to gradually install a structure parallel to the damaged steel giant after draining the soil beneath its feet. All this in an area that is now entirely fenced off, with work being carried out at breakneck speed in 3×8 shifts (day and night), under constant police protection backed up by private security guards.

Berlin (Germany): attack on the A100 freeway construction site

Berlin: attack on the A100 freeway construction site

On the night of January 18 to 19, 2024, we neutralized 2 excavators on the 16th section of the A100 (Kiefholzstraße – Treptow) with time-delay incendiary devices. Numerous needle punctures like this can eventually bring down the system. It’s also a cheerful response to the Switch-Off call, which is now finding an energetic echo internationally.

Sabotage is a direct tool for stopping the projects of the powerful. One of their gigantic mega-projects is the continued construction of Berlin’s “Autobahn 100”. We believe that a multitude of different methods are needed, not just symbolic resistance. It’s pointless to appeal to the dominant political system, to its authorities and to democratic reason to prevent this concrete furrow in the middle of Berlin. Let’s turn our anger into courage and attack their profiteers, their managers and their construction vehicles. Through our ideas and our actions, we want to move closer, step by step, to a society where capitalism’s destruction of nature, its warlike and technological excesses, and the oppression of human by human, finally belong to the past.
