\r\n The last bastion <\/h2>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

L\u00fctzerath has been \u2018excavated\u2019 \u2013 despite resistance and occupation. Samuel Bosshardt<\/strong><\/a> witnessed the activists\u2019 daily life and struggle up to the eviction.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

When I first stood on the edge of the opencast coal mine in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia, I felt as if I had landed on another planet.<\/strong> Suddenly the landscape ends. A gigantic hole all the way to the horizon. Nothing but dirt, dust and the squealing of countless coal excavators. And yet, in the midst of this incredible destruction of our Earth, what in my eyes was the most beautiful place in the world came into being. Right on the edge of the mine lay L\u00fctzerath, a small village threatened with demolition. Climate activists brought the village back to life and created a vibrant, peaceful place \u2013 a place open to everyone, where dreams and utopias could become reality and anarchy reigned.

Despite massive resistance, the state government approved a large-scale police operation to clear the village and make way for the coal excavators. Many people barricaded themselves in houses and trees to delay the eviction. The police stormed the village. After a few days, the place was nothing but a heap of rubble. Although L\u00fctzerath will be history for ever, it lives on in people\u2019s hearts. The fight for climate justice goes on.
