Frankfurt - Police clear occupied roof of former print shop
The police have cleared the roof of the squatted Dondorf print shop in Frankfurt. The remaining squatters were arrested early on Tuesday morning, the police announced on the X platform (formerly Twitter). They had refused offers from the police to leave the roof voluntarily. No one was injured during the arrest, it added.
The occupation by the collective "Die Druckerei" was the second this year and had lasted over a week. After the police evacuated the interior of the building on Thursday, a group of activists made their way to the roof, some of whom left in the meantime. The police had initially ruled out taking the activists off the roof against their will for security reasons.
